Mutations in the estrogen-receptor gene have been thought to be lethal. A 28-year-old man whose estrogen resistance was caused by a disruptive mutation underwent studies of pituitary-gonadal function and bone density received transdermal for six months. Estrogen-receptor DNA, extracted from lymphocytes, evaluated analysis single-strand-conformation polymorphisms direct sequencing.
Many studies document the high prevalence of dieting and abnormal eating behaviors in adolescents young adults. The age onset disorders remains unclear because there are no published surveys voluntary attitudes children. A total 318 girls boys were surveyed from two randomly chosen schools middle-income neighborhoods. children equally distributed among grades 3 through 6. survey included a children's version Eating Attitudes Test demographic questionnaire. Results showed that 45% wanted to...
BACKGROUND A novel prognostic staging classification encompassing all forms of thyroid carcinoma was created for the National Thyroid Cancer Treatment Cooperative Study (NTCTCS) Registry, with goal prospective validation and comparison other available classifications. METHODS Patient information recorded prospectively from 14 institutions. Clinicopathologic based on patient age at diagnosis, tumor histology, size, intrathyroidal multifocality, extraglandular invasion, metastases,...
Background: Vitamin D and calcium deficiencies are common worldwide, causing nutritional rickets osteomalacia, which have a major impact on health, growth, development of infants, children, adolescents; the consequences can be lethal or last into adulthood. The goals this evidence-based consensus document to provide health care professionals with guidance for prevention, diagnosis, management policy makers framework work toward its eradication. Evidence: A systematic literature search...
Nach allgemeiner Ueberzeugung können gewisse Sätze der Analysis nicht konstruktiv bewiesen werden. Man denke etwa an den folgenden Satz: Eine monotone und beschränkte Folge a ( n ) von rationalen Zahlen konvergiert, d.h. es gibt eine solche ganzzahlige Funktion k(m) , daß Unter einem konstruktiven Beweis dieses Satzes hätte man die Angabe eines Verfahrens zu verstehen, das gestattet, k m auf Grand rekursiv definieren. Wenn ein solcher vorläge, wäre insbesondere gezeigt, einer definierten mit...
Abstract Dietary modulation of the gut microbiota impacts human health. Here we investigated hitherto unknown effects resistant starch type 4 (RS4) enriched diet on composition and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) concentrations in parallel with host immunometabolic functions twenty individuals signs metabolic syndrome (MetS). Cholesterols, fasting glucose, glycosylated haemoglobin proinflammatory markers blood as well waist circumference % body fat were lower post intervention RS4 group...
The ideal therapy for differentiated thyroid cancer is uncertain. Although hormone treatment pivotal, the degree of thyrotropin (TSH) suppression that required to prevent recurrences has not been studied in detail. We have examined relation TSH baseline disease characteristics and likelihood progression a cohort patients who followed multicenter registry was established 1986. present study describes 617 with papillary 66 follicular annually median 4.5 years (range 1-8.6 years).

Women may lose bone during lactation because of calcium lost in breast milk. We studied whether supplementation prevents loss or augments gain after weaning.
Abstract A meta-analysis of adult exercise studies and an infant activity trial show a possible interaction between physical calcium intake on bone. This randomized supplementation was conducted in 239 children aged 3-5 years (178 completed). Children were to participate either gross motor or fine activities for 30 minutes/day, 5 days per week 12 months. Within each group, received (1000 mg/day) placebo. Total body regional bone mineral content by DXA 20% distal tibia measurements peripheral...
Abstract Objective : To investigate the effects of mothers’ and fathers’ eating behaviors, child feeding practices, BMI on percentage body fat in their children. Research Methods Procedures Four hundred fifty‐eight parents (239 mothers, 219 fathers) were asked to complete two questionnaires: Three‐Factor Eating Questionnaire Child Feeding Questionnaire, which measure dimensions parent behavior respectively. Parent was calculated from self‐reported height weight; children's measures included...

Women in (65 lactating women 48 nonlactating postpartum controls) at 2 weeks postpartum. weaning (40 43 4-6 Lactating had been fully breast-feeding enrollment weaned enrollment.

Vitamin D-deficiency rickets continues to be reported in infants fed human milk, and the importance of milk as a source vitamin D for is controversial. Furthermore, effects race normally consumed maternal intake on human-milk have not been reported. Milk, serum, three-day-diet diaries were obtained from 25 mother-infant pairs. Human-milk vitamins D3 D2 25-hydroxyvitamin lower blacks vs whites, whereas did differ. Total-milk D, but correlated with intake. Milk specifically was even after...

It is has been suggested that physical activity may increase bone mineral density (BMD) in children, thereby preventing development of osteoporosis later life. We studied 14 gymnasts, swimmers, and 17 controls to investigate whether participation different types sports among girls 7-9 yr age associated with higher total body BMD. Gymnasts were lighter than both swimmers (P = 0.001), a larger percent gymnasts compared below the 25th percentile for height weight. Fat mass, fat, lean mass less...
