Introduction This study aimed to analyze the correlation between serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and body weight provide some bases for clinical judgment of influencing factors on children's height. Material methods A total 333 children with a height less than 10th percentile were enrolled in this study. Among these children, 212 male 121 female. The age ranged within 5-14-years-old....

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations calls upon all signatory countries to localize its goals through National and Regional Strategies (SDS). As in Italy SDS constitute framework Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Plans Programmes (P/P), question arises as whether SEA can represent a fundamental tool SDS. Although mutual relationship between is recognized lite...

The impact of sleep disorders (SDs), particularly apnea (SA), on the development colorectal cancer (CRC) has been subject significant research. However, potential contribution other SDs to incidence CRC remains unexplored. objective this study was examine effects risk developing CRC. This assessed among individuals diagnosed with compared age- and sex-matched unaffected individuals. A longitudi...

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) binds to pancreatic lipase in a cooperative manner up to about 200 moles/mole of protein. This binding in a rapid and irreversible inactivation of lipase. Bile salts under certain conditions prevent SDS inactivation of lipase when both detergents are present together. Under these conditions bile salts also prevent the binding of SDS to lipase. This effect is paralle...

BACKGROUND Clinical application of body composition (BC) measurements for individual children has been limited by lack of appropriate reference data. OBJECTIVES (1) To compare fat mass (FM) and fat free mass (FFM) standard deviation scores (SDS) generated using new body composition reference data and obtained using simple measurement methods in healthy children and patients with those obtaine...

Several complementary experimental and theoretical methodologies were used to explore water uptake on sodium chloride (NaCl) particles containing varying amounts of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to elucidate the interaction of water with well-defined, environmentally relevant surfaces. Experiments probed the hygroscopic growth of mixed SDS/NaCl nanoparticles that were generated by electrosprayin...
