... Abstract Background: Carnitine deficiency is a common condition in hemodialysis patients. Therefore, abnormalities in fatty acid metabolism and organic acid metabolism are also common in dialysis patients. Tandem mass spectrometry is a standard technique in pediatric and neonatal medicine...

... in the perinatal period, resulting in the expansion of muscle mass from 25% of lean mass at birth to 40-45% at maturity. These 2 phases of muscle growth are regulated by distinct molecular mechanisms engaged by extracellular cues and intracellular signaling pathways and regulatory networks they activate. Nutrients...

... Abstract Inflammatory bowel disease, especially Crohn's disease, is linked to significant growth stunting, sarcopenia (loss of skeletal muscle mass), deterioration of bone architecture and reduction in bone mass. Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) has been shown to correct nutritional...

... online to electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(CE-MS) was applied to human urine to identify biomarkers for clinical diagnostics. Toextract the information of the CE-MS spectra in a timely fashion, software was designed toautomatically deconvolute and normalize the spectra...

... are required. Although several effective interventions have beendesigned for improving bone mass, further research is needed to define the specific exerciseprograms or activities that will optimize bone structure and strength during growth. Perhapsmost importantly, further work is also needed to determine...
