background: phenylketonuria (pku) is an autosomal recessive disease of phenylalanine metabolism that brings deficiency of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (pah). early diagnosis is very important to prevent complications. this study was designed to describe characteristics of patients with phenylketonuria in mazandaran province in northern iran. methods: we studied 24 cases suffering from p...

263 V – ‘appetite and weight change’, VI – ‘anxiety’ and VII – ‘anergia’. A signifi cant therapeutic effect of lamotrigine in bipolar depression was found using the ‘depressive cognitions’ factor (from week 3) and ‘psychomotor retardation’ (from week 4). Conclusions: This study has identifi ed seven factors of the HDRS in a large sample of patients with bipolar depression. It suggests that the ...

This paper explores the hypothesis that chlorinated solvent releases evolve temporally and spatially. A two-layer system is considered involving a transmissive layer (e.g. sand) situated above a low permeability layer (e.g. silt). A DNAPL like source is present in the transmissive layer at the upgradient edge of the model domain at the contact between the two layers. A constant source is active...

Children born small for gestational age may demonstrate continued growth retardation, resulting in persistent short stature. In the majority of the cases, this is linked with abnormal growth hormone secretion and also abnormal insulinlike growth factor levels. This review discusses the treatment of such children with recombinant human growth hormone. It illustrates the importance of starting th...

A. THE MEASUREMENT OF THE RETARDATION OF THE CORNEA Preliminary experiments on the change of corneal retardation with changes in intra-ocular pressure have been described elsewhere (Stanworth, 1949, 1950). Theoretical considerations, together with measurements of the retardation of the cornea at different pressures with transmitted light passing in various directions, led to the conclusion that...
