The Role of Early Child Nutrition in Pulmonary Hypertension-A Narrative Review.

Pulmonary hypertension is a complex condition that has distinct characteristics in pediatric populations. This review explores the important role of early childhood nutrition in the growth, progression, and management of pediatric pulmonary hypertension. Nutritional deficiencies, including those of vitamins C, D, and iron, are closely linked to worse outcomes in children with this disease, emphasizing the importance of early intervention to prevent malnutrition and promote growth.

Electronic hybridization of large-area stacked graphene films.

Direct, tunable coupling between individually assembled graphene layers is a next step toward designer two-dimensional (2D) crystal systems, with relevance for fundamental studies and technological applications. Here we describe the fabrication and characterization of large-area (>cm(2)), coupled bilayer graphene on SiO(2)/Si substrates. Stacking two graphene films leads to direct electronic interactions between layers, where the resulting film properties are determined by the local twist angle.

[Descriptive epidemiologic study of nosocomial infections in "C.I. Parhon" hospital of Iaşi].

Nosocomial infections (NI) represent a major public health problem. The descriptive study was carried out during one year, based on a lot of 12,731 in-patients from "C.I.

[Five years of kidney transplantation in Iaşi].

The activity of Renal Transplant Center Iaşi started in November 2000, when we realized the first renal transplant from a live donor. Since then, 46 renal transplants were successfully realized in our center, to patients aged between 13-47 years (medium age = 30 +/- 5), M/F=27/19, 25 (56.8%) of them selected from HD, 17 (39.

[The study of the frequency and features of bacteria isolated in patients with non-tuberculosis respiratory disorders admitted in "M. Nasta" Institute in the first trimester 2001].

The aim of this study was to determine the spectrum of bacteria isolated in patients with non-TB respiratory disorders, in order to find the frequency of germs isolated globally and in each of the 6 clinical syndromes: suppurations, chronic obstructive diseases exacerbations (COPD, bronchial asthma), pneumopathies, post-TB syndromes, tumors and interstitial lung diseases. We found the greatest global frequency in anaerobes (35%). This is in concordance with the high frequency of broncho-pulmonary suppurations (51% of the cases studied).
