Background: This study primarily aimed to investigate the possible association between the risk of suffering from Iron Deficiency (ID) and body weight status among a group of obese, overweight, and normal body weight children. The second aim of this study was to assess Serum Iron (SI), Serum Ferritin (SF), Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC), Hemoglobin (Hb), and Body Mass Index (BMI) among the ...

purpose lipocalin-2 (lcn2), a newer adipocyte-secreted acute phase protein, was recently reported to be correlated with potential effects on obesity and inflammation. the reaction of this protein to progressive exercise has not been evaluated yet. this study was designed to compare the serum lcn2 and high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-crp) levels after participating in an acute bout of tre...

BACKGROUND Children born extremely premature (<28 weeks) or with a very low birth weight (<1500 g) have a poorer school performance than children born at term with a normal birth weight. Much less is known about children of higher gestational ages and birth weights. We studied gestational age after 32 completed weeks and birth weight in relation to the child's school performance at the age of 1...

background: a balanced nutrition schedule provides the essential substances for proper oral health. objectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the association between dental caries and body mass index in 6-11 year-old children in zahedan. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study 1213 children (670 girls, 543 boys) were included. body mass index (bmi) and clinical examinati...

In this paper, we propose new predictive coding schemes for photometry data of three-dimensional (3-D) mesh models as per-vertex binding. We exploit geometry and connectivity information to enhance coding efficiency of the color and normal vector data. For color coding, we predict the color of the current vertex by a weighted sum of colors of adjacent vertices considering angles between the cur...
