Developmental Defects of Enamel in Primary Teeth and Association with Early Life Course Events: A Study of 6--36 Month old Children in Manyara, Tanzania. [PDF]
Children with low birth weight show an increased prevalence of developmental defects of enamel in the primary dentition that subsequently may predispose to early childhood caries (ECC).Focusing 6--36 months old, the purpose of this study was to assess ...

Glucose and glycogen levels in piglets that differ in birth weight and vitality [PDF]
In the pig, intrauterine crowding can greatly affect postnatal characteristics, among which birth weight and locomotion. In a previous study, we discovered that piglets with a low birth weight/low vitality (L piglets) have a reduced motor performance ...

Evaluation of the effect of metal stents on dose perturbation in the carbon beam irradiation field
Abstract Propose Carbon ion therapy is indicated for cases in which stents have been inserted, such as bile ducts, but the effect of metal stents on carbon ion therapy is unclear. In this study, the dose perturbation of carbon ion therapy caused by metallic bile duct stents was evaluated by dosimetry. Materials and methods Five different types of metal

Birth-time distributions of weighted polytopes in STIT tessellations [PDF]
The lower-dimensional maximal polytopes associated with an iteration stable (STIT) tessellation in $\RR^d$ are considered. They arise in the spatio-temporal construction process of such a tessellation as intersections of $(d-1)$-dimensional maximal polytopes. A precise description of the joint distribution of their birth-times is obtained. This in turn

Relative birth weights in twins
To determine if the first twin (Twin I) weighs more than the second twin (Twin II).One hundred and seventeen sets of twins delivered at the Federal Medical Centre Makurdi, Nigeria over a three year period between 1st January, 2005 and 31st December2007 were reviewed.Of the 117 sets of twins in the study, 9 (7.7%) were of equal weights while in 57 (48.7%

Newborn skin reflection: Proof of concept for a new approach for predicting gestational age at birth. A cross-sectional study [PDF]
Current methods to assess the gestational age during prenatal care or at birth are a global challenge. Disadvantages, such as low accessibility, high costs, and imprecision of clinical tests and ultrasonography measurements, may compromise health decisions at birth, based on the gestational age. Newborns organs and tissues can indirectly indicate their
