Abstract Emerging contaminants such as pharmaceutical compounds offer potential hazards to the aquatic environment and human health. In this paper, adsorptive removal of drug Nitrazepam from water was investigated for first time using biochar prepared Sargassum macroalgae. The efficiency 1 g/L macroalgae-derived 98% with a maximum adsorption capacity 143.12 mg/g. Effects solution pH, adsorbent ...

OBJECTIVES To estimate the prevalence of 4 categories of infantile cataract in subjects surviving the neonatal period in a US cohort, and to investigate risk factors for isolated infantile cataract. DESIGN Prospective study of 55 908 pregnancies enrolled in the Collaborative Perinatal Project from 1959 to 1965 at 12 university medical centers. METHODS We gathered data on demographic, lifest...

Previous studies have led to the assumption that maternal problems in reciprocal social behavior might play an important role in infantile aggression. This study investigated whether maternal problems in reciprocal social behavior were predictive of higher infantile aggression at 18 months of age, and whether maternal postpartum depressive symptoms mediated the association. Participants were 76...

AIM To investigate whether extracutaneous infantile haemangioma-like tumours are immunohistochemically similar to cutaneous infantile haemangiomas. METHODS Mammary, salivary gland, liver (one each), and placental (two cases) capillary haemangiomas and typical examples of cutaneous (eight cases) infantile haemangioma were investigated immunohistochemically for alpha smooth muscle actin and Glu...

abstract: A simple, accurate and sensitive visible spectrophotometric method for the determination of nimodipine (NMD) and nitrazepam (NTZ) is described. The method is based on the diazotization of reduced drugs with nitrous acid followed by coupling with resorcinol to form colored azo-dye in an alkaline medium. The resulting colored azo-dye exhibits maximum absorption peak at 480 nm for both N...

Infantile spasms constitute both a distinctive seizure type and an age-specific epilepsy syndrome that have been extensively described for over a century. Standardization of the classification of infantile spasms has evolved, culminating in recent recommendations for separately recognizing and distinguishing the seizure type (spasms or epileptic spasms) and the epilepsy syndrome of infantile sp...

A recent editorial in the Archives assigned the primary pathogenesis of infantile esotropia to the visual cortex. This analysis addresses the limitations of this timeworn view and advances the perspective that infantile esotropia is a cortico-mesencephalic-cerebellar disorder wherein binocular cortical maldevelopment permits atavistic subcortical visual pathways to remain operational. This inte...

Multifocal and diffuse infantile hepatic hemangioendotheliomas commonly present with signs of high-output congestive heart failure. In addition, prolonged persistent pulmonary overcirculation eventually leads to the development of pulmonary hypertension at a later age. We report a 2-day old, full-term infant with multifocal, large infantile hepatic hemangioendothelioma, who presented with an ea...

Results: The study comprised 407 soft tissue tumors in total. Fibroblastic/myofibroblastic tumors constituted 9,1 % (37 cases) of these tumors. According to histopathology; 16 cases were categorized as fibromatosis, 8 cases as inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, 6 cases as infantile fibrous hamartoma, 3 cases as nodular fasciitis and 2 cases as infantile myofibroblastic tumor/myofibromatosis an...
