Growth during adolescence was analyzed in 40 children with slipped capital femoral epiphysis using the Infancy Childhood Puberty growth model. the advantage of this model is that reference values for height can be adjusted for the individual age at pubertal maturation. In both sexes an above average height was found before the onset of the pubertal growth spurt. However, the pubertal gain in heigh
Plasma membrane vesicles of high purity were isolated from spinach (Spinacia oleracea) leaves by aqueous polymer 2-phase partition and analyzed with respect to their protein organization. This was done by Triton X-114 fractionation which separates integral, hydrophobic, membrane-spanning proteins from peripheral, hydrophilic membrane proteins. About 80% of the proteins were recovered in the hydrop
A method for resolving plasma membrane associated arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) has been developed. Plasma membranes purified by aqueous polymer two‐phase partitioning were first subjected to Triton X‐114 fractionation. The resulting water phase contained all detectable plasma membrane‐bound AGPs. Plasma membrane AGPs were then resolved in an SDS‐agarose gel electrophoresis system (SDS‐AGE). For
To assess the role of human milk bile salt-stimulated lipase (BSSL) in the digestion of polyunsaturated ester bonds of triacylglycerols, hydrolysis of docosahexaenoic acid (22:6(n-3)) ester bonds was compared to that of oleic acid (18:1(n-9)) or arachidonic acid (20:4(n-6)) esters. As model substrates, we used rat chylomicrons obtained after feeding human milk fat globules and radiolabeled fatty aTo assess the role of human milk bile salt-stimulated lipase (BSSL) in the digestion of polyunsaturated ester bonds of triacylglycerols, hydrolysis of docosahexaenoic acid (22:6(n − 3)) ester bonds was compared to that of oleic acid (18:1(n − 9)) or arachidonic acid (20:4(n − 6)) esters.

Long-chain polyunsaturated (LCP) fatty acids derived from linoleic (18:2 n-6) and alpha-linolenic (18:3 n-3) acids are considered essential nutrients in preterm infants. The efficiency by which such fatty acids are released as absorbable products from triacylglycerol was explored in vitro using rat chylomicron triacylglycerol as substrate.

Fish oil chylomicrons, obtained from mesenteric duct chyle of rats fed [3H]20:5 and [14C]20:4 or [3H]20:5 and [14C]18:2 in a fish oil emulsion, were incubated with human pancreatic lipase-colipase, human carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) and human duodenal contents. With duodenal contents, the triacylglycerols labelled with [3H]20:5 and [14C]20:4 were rapidly converted to free fatty acids (FFA) and mono
What can the monastic movement teach contemporary society about the good life.
Background The Meta-Analysis of Radiotherapy in squamous cell Carcinomas of Head and neck (MARCH) showed that altered fractionation radiotherapy is associated with improved overall and progression-free survival compared with conventional radiotherapy, with hyperfractionated radiotherapy showing the greatest benefit. This update aims to confirm and explain the superiority of hyperfractionated radio
Because of the potential mutagenic effects of chemo- and radiotherapy, there is concern regarding increased risk of congenital malformations (CMs) among children of fathers with cancer. Previous register studies indicate increased CM risk among children conceived after paternal cancer but lack data on oncological treatment. Increased CM risk was recently reported in children born before paternal c
The Oak of Mambre presents an inner world of sound exploration, whose strands are woven through ancient cultures and traditions. Mambre is a birthplace, itself, literal and ideal. Compressions and rarefactions tell two stories; of Abram and Mambre, of survival and an heir.The Oak of Mambre begins where the reality and existence of a tone becomes manifest. Here we are looking at the sub-particulate
The objective of this study is to estimate the number of deaths attributable to cardiovascular diseases and diet-related cancers that could be prevented or delayed in the Nordic countries, i.e., Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Iceland, if adults adhere to the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (NNR). A sex- and age-group specific epidemiological macro-simulation model was used to estimate the
The requirements on increasing functionality, quality, and, customisation, while reducing cost has lead to the introduction of an architecture centred development process for electronic systems at Volvo Cars. This process enables better control of system integration and achieving non-functional requirements, such as reusability, understandability, etc. The result of the process is a reference arch
In the early days of vehicle engineering, the car was designed top-down. Most design decisions were taken bearing the complete vehicle in mind. As sub-systems have become more complex, and also deeply interlinked, the width of the problem has become impossible for one engineer to understand in all aspects. To be able to cope with this, vehicle manufacturers have created stable partitionings of the
This paper presents a previously unreported method of laryngeal vocal sound production that is capable of producing pitches even higher than the whistle register (M3). Colloquially known as the glottal whistle (here referred to as M4), this method has a wider range than M3 and features frequent instances of biphonation, which is of interest for those involved with contemporary and improvised music
