Skim milk in infant feeding. Acta Paediatr Scand, 66:17, 1977. --Ninety-four infants were enrolled at 112 days of age in a study of food intake and growth and 88 were considered to have completed satisfactorily the planned 56 days of observation. The infants lived at home. Feedings consisted of a commercially available formula (Similac, 67 kcl/100 ml) or a slightly modified skim milk (Formula 305, 36 kcal/100 ml) and commercially prepared strained foods. Energy intake and gain in weight were significantly greater by infants fed Similac than by those fed Formula 305. Gain in length was nearly identical in the two feeding groups. During the 56 days of observation, triceps and subscapular skinfold thicknesses changed little in infants fed Similac but decreased approximately 25% in infants fed Formula 305. It is suggested that body fat stores of infants fed Formula 305 were mobilized to permit growth of fat-free tissue.

Neutron imaging is a nondestructive and noninvasive inspection technique with a wide range of potential applications. However, the fundamentals of this technique still need to be improved, one of which involves achieving micrometer scale or even better resolution, which is a challenging task. Recently, a high-resolution neutron imaging device based on fine-grained nuclear emulsions was developed.

Background: Acne vulgaris is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease of the pilosebaceous unit frequently cited as the most common condition diagnosed and treated by dermatologists. Among the many therapies developed for treating acne, none are effective for all patients and new treatments are always being sought. A commercial nutraceutical formulated with vitamins, minerals and a proprietary blend of botanicals has been used as a safe and effective adjunctive therapy for non-cystic acne (Clear Skin Formula; VitaMedica®).

Introduction: High mortality and morbidity of neonates with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) necessitates the investigation of novel therapies to improve outcomes. It was aimed to elucidate the potential therapeutic effect of estrogen receptor agonists on NEC-induced intestinal and brain injury in rats.
Methods: Sprague-Dawley pups of both sexes were separated from their mothers at postnatal 5 d.

The treatment of demyelinating optic neuritis (DON) in pregnant patients is challenging, especially when there is poor or no response to intravenous methylprednisolone pulse (IVMP) therapy or adjunctive treatments such as intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy. We herein report a case of a 28-year-old pregnant woman who experienced sequential severe vision loss in both eyes. She presented to a local hospital with the main complaint of sudden, painless vision loss in the left eye and was diagnosed with DON in the left eye.

Regular monitoring of patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is critical for the detection and management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer (M2BPGi) has been used to monitor fibrosis progression and predict HCC. However, HCC prediction based on M2BPGi has not been optimized.
