Two classes of web services have emerged. The first type of web service system uses the REST architecture where resources are represented using URI and HTTP is used to return the current representation of that resource. These systems are based on HTTP, XML and URI and is described by Fielding and others in a variety of documents.[2][3] In these systems, XML is typically used to encode the repre...

PURPOSE We investigated the effect of Katsura-uri (Japanese pickling melon; Cucumis melo var. conomon) on energy metabolism during exercise in human and animal studies. METHODS Eight healthy men (mean age, 21.4 ± 0.7 years) participated in a single-blind, crossover study. Thirty minutes after ingesting the Katsura-uri drink or placebo drink, they exercised on a cycle ergometer at 40% maximal ...

Several studies have demonstrated a decrease in upper respiratory infection (URI) frequency and severity subjects taking probiotic supplements. We hypothesised beneficial effects of probiotics on viral URI children are due to modulation inflammatory innate immune responses. tested this hypothesis, providing with combination Lactobacillus acidophilus/Bidfidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis Bi-07 (...

Retrieving the resource identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) [3] is only one of the operations that can be performed on a URI. One might also ask for and get a list of other identifiers that are aliases for the original URI or a bibliographic description of the resource the URI denotes, for example. This applies to both Uniform Resource Names (URNs) and Uniform Resource Locators (U...

OBJECTIVES Deep sedation enables effective performance of imaging or procedures in children, but failed sedation still occurs. We desired to determine the factors that were associated with failed sedation in children receiving deep sedation by a dedicated nonanesthesia sedation service and hypothesized that the presence of an upper respiratory infection (URI) and/or other risk factors would inc...

OBJECTIVE Over the past 20 years endoscopic treatment (ET) of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) has changed the algorithm of reflux management. We describe a modification of the standard subureteral injection (STING) that has contributed to the increased success rate of this procedure. METHODS Between January 2006 and December 2006 192 children, 5 months to 10 years old (mean age 2.8 years) underwe...

Introduction Feline upper respiratory infection (URI) is perhaps the most frustrating illness facing shelter veterinarians, managers and staff, and has been identified as the number one disease concern for cats in shelters and after adoption[1, 2]. Many cats enter shelters already silently carrying the viruses that lead to illness; vaccines are partially effective at best; and specific treatmen...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is the most common cause of systemic vasculitis in children, long-term and large-scale Taiwanese studies on HSP are rare. We reviewed the records of 107 Taiwanese pediatric patients diagnosed with HSP at our institution between 1991 and 2005. METHODS The first clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, and outcome evaluations o...

BACKGROUND Variation among hospitalized medical conditions have been reported previously, but there is little information on variation among physicians for medical conditions that constitute a substantial part of ambulatory care. OBJECTIVE To measure variation in the diagnosis of 2 common medical conditions, otitis media (OM) and upper respiratory tract infections (URIs) in an urgent care pra...
