PurposeThe purpose of this prospective case-control study was to survey the detection rate of respiratory viruses in children with Kawasaki disease (KD) by using multiplex reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and to investigate the clinical implications of the prevalence of respiratory viruses during the acute phase of KD.Metho
Abstract Background Constantly eaten foods (such as fruits, vegetables, cereal, etc.) that contain excessive concentrations of heavy metals pose a major risk to human health and deplete the food supply.The amounts of heavy metals in different date varietiies were measured after they were collected from three wholesale markets in the major cities of
Abstract Background Dietary high fructose (HFr) is a known metabolic disruptor contributing to development of obesity and diabetes in Western societies.Initial molecular changes from exposure to HFr on liver metabolism may be essential to understand the perturbations leading to insulin resistance and abnormalities in lipid and carbohydrate metaboli
We Mens Sandals investigate the ground-state energy of a one-dimensional Fermi gas with two bosonic impurities.We consider spinless fermions with no fermion-fermion interactions.The fermion-impurity and impurity-impurity interactions are modeled with Dirac delta functions.First, we study the case where impurity and fermion have equal masses, and th
Introduction: The prehospital phase of the management of pediatric severe traumatic brain injury may have a direct influence on the results.Objective: To evaluate the influence of prehospital variables on intracranial pressure and the results in pediatric patients with severe TBI.Method: A descriptive study of 41 pediatric patients who were admitte
