Successful endovascular treatment of a 13-month-old child with gastrointestinal bleeding due to Dieulafoy syndrome of duodenum.

Dieulafoy disease can manifest itself with spontaneous massive recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding in children. We report a case of successful management of a 13-month-old child with Dieulafoy disease of duodenum when traditional methods of examination and treatment failed.

Hydration of proteins: excess partial volumes of water and proteins.

High precision densitometry was applied to study the hydration of proteins. The hydration process was analyzed by the simultaneous monitoring of the excess partial volumes of water and the proteins in the entire range of water content. Five unrelated proteins (lysozyme, chymotrypsinogen A, ovalbumin, human serum albumin, and β-lactoglobulin) were used as models.
