Effective debugging of ontologies is an important prerequisite for their broad application, especially in areas that rely on everyday users to create and maintain knowledge bases, such as the Semantic Web.

Eight nursing subjects had serum prolactin (PRL), luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and estradiol levels studied during the first six months postpartum. Each subject had serum samples obtained just before the initiation of suckling and during the next 120 minutes. Baseline PRL levels were high at ten days postpartum (90.

Serum and milk concentrations of aztreonam were studied in 12 lactating, healthy subjects over the 8 h period after the administration of a single intramuscular or intravenous 1 g dose. Milk concentrations of aztreonam were found to be much lower than serum concentrations at all time points after both routes of injection. Peak milk concentrations of aztreonam averaged less than 1% of peak serum concentrations.

1 Simultaneous serum and milk samples were collected over a 10-day period from twelve normotensive, lactating subjects who ingested 80 mg nadolol once daily for a period of 5 days. For comparative purposes, serum samples were also collected from seven patients with a history of mild essential hypertension who ingested the same dose of nadolol for a period of 13 days. 2 In lactating subjects, steady-state serum concentrations of nadolol were attained in 3 days.
