The surfaces of secondary organic aerosol particles are notoriously difficult to access experimentally, even though they are the key location where exchange between the aerosol particle phase and its gas phase occurs. Here, we overcome this difficulty by applying standard and sub- 1 cm(-1) resolution vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy to detect C-H oscillators at the surfac...

conclusions physicians involved in care of methadone patients should recommend dietary and lifestyle changes to improve their overall health. results within one year from admission to treatment, a statistically significant (t-tests, p < 0.05) increase was noted in their body mass index (bmi), % of body fat, average body mass, and average basal metabolic rate, and relative decrease in their % of...

background: obesity seems to be associated to migraine headache. increase in body fat, especially in gluteofemoral region, elevates adiponectin and leptin secretion which in turn impair inflammatory processes that could be contributing to migraine risk. this study was designed to assess the relationship between body composition and risk of migraine for the first time. methods: in this cross-sec...

background: the sensitivity and specificity of body mass index (bmi) percentiles of centers for disease control 2000 (cdc2000) standard was compared with child actual overweight which was identified by fat mass index (fmi) and overweight status in these children based on bmi and fmi. methods: in this case-control study, elementary school girls (aged 8-10 years) were recruited from schools of is...

background: the aim of this study was to assess the predictive capacity of body composition estimated by bioelectrical impedance analysis (bia) to identify abnormal blood pressure in physical education and sport teaching students in the city of ankara. methods: data for this cross-sectional study were obtained in the city of ankara in 2014. a total of 133 students aged 20-35 yr participated in ...

background there is evidence in support of low bone density in young patients with disorders of phenylalanine metabolism; however, little is known about muscle and fat mass in these patients, especially in those with mild hyperphenylalaninemia (mhpa). objectives we aimed to evaluate body composition of children and adolescents with early-diagnosed disorders of phenylalanine metabolism. patients...
