OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence, characteristics, and evolution of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in infants with a congenital cytomegalovirus infection (cCMV). STUDY DESIGN In a prospective 10-year study, 14 021 unselected live-born infants were screened for cCMV by virus isolation in urine. Congenitally infected newborns were evaluated for SNHL during the first 5 years of life. RE...

Wide-angle X-ray scattering in conjunction with pole figure technique was used to study the texture of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) α and γ phase crystals in nanolayered polysulfone/poly(vinylidene fluoride) films (PSF/PVDF) produced by layer-multiplying coextrusion. In all as-extruded PSF/PVDF films, the PVDF nanolayers crystallized into the α phase crystals. A large fraction of those crys...

In an effort to shed more light on the formation process of binary stars, we have started a program to study multiplicity among nearby low-and intermediate-mass protostars using the OVRO Millimeter Array. Here, we describe the project and present the first results on the protostellar core in the Bok globule CB 230 (L 1177). At 10 ′′ resolution , the molecular core is resolved into two component...

BACKGROUND Diet might influence progression of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). OBJECTIVE To investigate whether diet composition could alter clinical, biochemical, or echocardiographic variables in cats with HCM. ANIMALS Twenty-nine cats with HCM (International Small Animal Cardiac Health Council stage 1b) examined at a university teaching hospital. METHODS Randomized, placebo-controll...
