The baseline cortisol (BC) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels have been observed to vary and have a predictive value in critical illness settings. Few reports have studied their variation in non-severe acute illness.

Glass samples with molar compositions (100 - )[(50PO)-(50-NaO)-(BaO)]-SmO, where = 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and = 0.3 and 1% were first synthesized by conventional melt quenching and later dehydroxylated under a constant N flow to ensure final glasses with a very high degree of chemical and optical homogeneity and free of water.
