Oral rehydration salt (ORS) treatment in young children with acute diarrhoea (AD) has contributed to decrease mortality associated with dehydration although effective strategies to reduce morbidity associated with this disease are required. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diarrhoea duration when using combined colloidal bismuth hydroxide gel (CBHG) and oral rehydration salt treatment ...

Olfactory receptors (ORs) detect volatile chemicals that lead to the initial perception of smell in the brain. The olfactory receptor (OR) is the first protein that recognizes odorants in the olfactory signal pathway and it is present in over 1,000 genes in mice. It is also the largest member of the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Most ORs are extensively expressed in the nasal olfactory e...

Insect olfactory receptors (ORs) in the peripheral olfactory system play an important role detecting elements of information from the environment. At present, various approaches are used for deorphanizing of ORs in insect. In this study, we compared methods for functional analysis of ORs in vitro and in vivo taking the candidate pheromone receptor OR13 of Helicoverpa assulta (HassOR13) as the o...

The ninth report of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis Consortium is presented documenting cycles collected for the calendar year 2006 and follow-up of the pregnancies and babies born until October 2007, which resulted from these cycles. Since the beginning of the data collections there has been a steady increase in the number of cycles, ...

Objectives. The Outcome Rating Scale (ORS) is an ultra-brief self-report scale designed to measure change during psychotherapy. goal of this study was test (a) the factor structure ORS, (b) measurement invariance between a clinical and non-clinical sample, pre-therapy post-therapy assessment (within sample), online paper-and-pencil forms administration (c) concurrent validity with other outcome...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the question of whether there is an association between workplace exposures and sociodemographic factors and mortality from non-malignant respiratory disease excluding influenza and pneumonia (NMRDxIP) among workers in a fibreglass wool manufacturing facility. METHODS A case-control study with cases and controls derived from deaths recorded from the Kansas City plant...

BACKGROUND During the 2000-2001 influenza vaccination season, a new adverse event associated with the influenza vaccine, called oculorespiratory syndrome (ORS), was identified in Canada. We examined the risk of recurrence of ORS for individuals affected in 2000-2001 who were revaccinated in the community setting in 2001-2002. METHODS We conducted a telephone survey in May 2002 in which partic...

The crystallography and kinetics of Al 11 Mn 4 formation on 8 5 have been studied in magnesium alloys AZ80 / AZ91 AZ31. During solidification, was promoted by low cooling rates where triclinic nucleated rhombohedral particles with one multiple related orientation relationships (ORs) their variants. grew as (010) plates that were commonly twinned the interrelationships amongst twins, twins -Al O...

BACKGROUND Oral rehydration solution (ORS) is used to treat dehydration caused by diarrheal diseases including cholera. Reduced osmolarity formulations are safe and more effective than standard ORS for treating non-cholera diarrhea. As cholera causes rapid electrolyte loss, it is important to know if these benefits are similar for people with cholera. OBJECTIVES To compare the safety and effi...

OBJECTIVE To describe knowledge and perceptions regarding the use of oral rehydration solution (ORS) for the management of diarrheal diseases among formal and informal health care providers and community caregivers in the Guatemalan department of Santa Rosa, and to recommend strategies to increase ORS use for management of diarrhea in children. METHODS From July to September 2008, in-depth, s...
