Not all research presented at scientific meetings is subsequently published and, even when it is, there may be inconsistencies between these results and what ultimately printed. Although late-breaking trials sessions are now integrated into several major the often promptly prominently communicated, no studies have examined publication fate degree of consistency meeting abstracts or presentations subsequent full-length article publications for randomized controlled (RCTs) sessions.To compare...

This study explored the relationships among maternal and professional breastfeeding assessments reports of satisfaction with breastfeeding. Participants were 35 first-time mothers. The LATCH Breastfeeding Documentation Tool was used for data collection. tool in its original version assessment a modified reporting.

Previous studies have found that up to 60% of children with neurologic conditions tried complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).
Deficiencies in cytochrome oxidase, the terminal enzyme of mitochondrial respiratory chain, are most often caused by an inability to complete assembly enzyme. Pathogenic mutations <i>SCO2</i>, which encodes a oxidase factor, were recently described several cases fatal infantile cardioencephalomyopathy. To determine molecular etiology these disorders, we describe generation and characterization parallel homologous yeast <i>SCO1</i> gene. We show that E155K <i>sco1</i> mutant is...
Purpose: Serious disorders of hemostasis occur more often in the small, stressed preterm infant, partly due to immaturity newborn hemostatic mechanism. Information regarding maturational development platelets infants has been limited by large amounts blood historically needed for platelet studies. The objective this study was determine differences between adults and flow cytometric analysis "reticulated" platelets. Patients Methods: Eighteen normal adults, 42 healthy term infants, 27 were...

Two types of polymorphic DNA markers suitable for genome analyses, population genetic and ecological studies on lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) have been developed. We detected 52 decameric oligonucleotides, within a set 200, that could be used to amplify the DNA. From these, 4 allowed unambiguous amplification 10 random (RAPD) loci, chosen use in this species. Five microsatellite loci were found following screening genomic library all contained AG n motif. Such present at...
