About a year ago the writer (1) described technique for the determination of sugar in blood which yields figures appreciably lower than those obtained by the use of the older methods. Since the publication of that paper two investigators, employing widely differing procedures, have reported results which indicate the correctness of the lower figures obtained with the new method. Harned (2), aft...

In a recent paper, S. R. Benedict? describes a calorimetric copper method for the determination of the blood sugar which is based upon the idea that his well known copper citrate reagent should prove as superior for quantitative work on blood as it has been for qualitative tests on urine. This expectation seems to have been fulfilled to a certain extent, for by a series of paralleL blood sugar ...

I. Continuity or Rupture: How Did Vatican II Understand the Church’s Relation with the Modern World?1 IN A notable Christmas message given before the Roman Curia on December 22, 2005, Pope Benedict XVI cautioned against a widespread interpretation of the Second Vatican Council which would posit that the Church after the Council is different than the “preconciliar” Church. Benedict called this e...

Flocks (1939) first noted an association between renal stone disease and increased calcium excretion in the urine, but it was not until 1953 that Albright, Henneman, Benedict & Forbes coined the term ‘idiopathic hypercalciuria’ to describe the disorder, suggested that it might be tubular in origin, and drew attention to the hypophosphataemia which frequently accompanies it. A few years later He...

Methods Seventeen female patients with bipolar I disorder were evaluated with an IC instrument (VO2000). IC values were compared with the Harris-Benedict, Mifflin-St. Jeor and LARN equation methods. Results The measured REE was not significantly correlated with the three equations. The mean differences between REE values estimated with Harris-Benedict, Mifflin-St. Jeor and LARN equations, and t...

Modern historiography and nationalism are closely connected to one another. Both had their origins in the final decades of the eighteenth century and were fostered by the same process of far-reaching intellectual change which led to the emergence of a radically new way of thinking about the world and participating in it. It was this change that brought us the unquestionably modern concepts whic...

BACKGROUND Recently, a relationship between obesity and schizophrenia has been reported. The prediction of resting energy expenditure (REE) is important to determine the energy expenditure of patients with schizophrenia. However, there is a lack of research concerning the most accurate REE predictive equations among Asian patients with schizophrenia. The purpose of the study reported here was t...
