Malnutrition among under-5 children and its determinants in the southwestern coastal region of Bangladesh: A community-based study by Shahinur Akter, Nishana Afrin Nishu

“…Objective The study examines the prevalence of stunting, the most common form of malnutrition and its determinants among children under-5 in the southwestern coastal region of Bangladesh.Design Cross-sectional survey.Settings Two coastal villages of the Bagerhat and Khulna districts of Bangladesh.Participants Participants were selected using the simple random sampling technique with the following criteria: mothers who had at least one under-5 child and resided in the study area for not less than three consecutive years.Outcome measures To assess the nutritional status particularly, stunting (height for age) in children under-5, a standardised anthropometric measurement tool, such as a height-measuring vertical scale, was used and categorised into severely stunted, moderately stunted and normal height.Results The study found that 57.5% of children were severely and 29% were moderately stunted. …”

Impaired fracture healing is associated with callus chondro-osseous junction abnormalities in periostin-null and osteopontin-null mice by Marc Teitelbaum, Marc Teitelbaum, Maya D. Culbertson, Charlene Wetterstrand, J. Patrick O’Connor, J. Patrick O’Connor

“…The results indicate that POSTN and SPP1 are necessary for normal chondro-osseous junction formation and that signaling from the chondro-osseous junction, possibly from COX-2 expressing osteoclasts, regulates callus vasculogenesis and chondrocyte hypertrophy necessary for endochondral ossification during fracture healing.…”

Characterisation and evaluation of the mechanical behaviour of endodontic-grade NiTi wires by Samuel Pereira, Andr� Carvalho, Lu�s Reis, Diogo Montalv�o

“…Following a systematic approach, this work presents the results of rotary fatigue tests for two Alfa Aesar� Nitinol wires with different diameters (0.58mm and 0.25mm).The formulation is presented, where the material strength reduction can be quantified from the determination of the strain and the number of cycles until failure, as well numerical FEM simulation to verify the analytical model predictions.…”

Evaluation of protein sparing effect in Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus fed with organic selenium supplemented diet by Christian Ernsz Pattipeilohy, Muhammad Agus Suprayudi, Mia Setiawati, Julie Ekasari

“… ABSTRACT   The objective of this research was to determine the optimum level of organic selenium supplementation in improving the growth performance of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus fed with diet containing low protein level. Basal diet was formulated to contain 28% protein with three different levels of organic selenium supplementation, namely 0 (control), 3, and 6 mg Se/kg feed. …”

Pulmonary sarcoidosis by Deepak Talwar, Dhruv Talwar, Hariharan Iyer

“…This makes a generalization about treatment impossible and hence, individualized decisions need to be made utilizing predictors of future worsening by multidisciplinary experts. Oral steroids form the core of treatment but longterm side effects of oral steroids ultimately dictate the use of steroidsparing agents and discontinuation of steroids once the disease stabilizes and the goals of treatment are achieved. …”
