Hyperemesis gravidarum or severe vomiting during pregnancy is a condition of elusive etiology that can harm both mother and fetus. This study examined the association between increased bitter-taste perception and history of hyperemesis gravidarum. Bitter-taste perception varies genetically and can
BACKGROUND
Physiologic and behavioral responses to procedural pain are influenced by gestational age (GA). Compared with term neonates, hospitalized preterm neonates are subjected to more painful procedures aimed at improving their clinical outcome. Although several trials to determine the efficacy
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effect of feeding infants a soy-based formula with lactose compared with a soy-based formula with sucrose during an acute diarrheal episode.
METHODS
Two hundred boys, aged 3 to 18 months, who were admitted to the hospital with acute diarrhea and signs of dehydration were
OBJECTIVE
An alternative treatment approach is needed for children who cannot tolerate oral iron preparations or when there is a need for rapid replenishment of iron stores. We report on the safety, adverse effects, and efficacy of intravenous iron sucrose in a retrospective sample of children with
The relationship between emesis and taste aversion learning was studied in ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) following exposure to ionizing radiation (50-200 cGy) or injection of lithium chloride (1.5-3.0 mEq/kg, ip). When 10% sucrose or 0.1% saccharin was used as the conditioned stimulus, neither
An oral sucrose/electrolyte solution brought about complete hydration in 19 out of 20 consecutive children with a median age of 1 year with moderate to severe dehydration due to acute diarrhoea (1 child did not respond and needed intravenous therapy). Vomiting, abdominal distension, and appearance
The use of oral rehydration solutions containing essential electrolytes and either glucose or sucrose of equal osmolality was compared in a double-blind sequential trial of 784 children with rotavirus-associated diarrhea treated at a center in rural Bangladesh. The oral fluid failure rate was 11.5%
Of 57 male children, aged 5 months to 2 1/2 years with rotavirus diarrhoea, 28 were given oral therapy with sucrose electrolyte solution and 29 were given glucose electrolyte solution in a randomised double-blind trial. All were rehydrated and remained so on oral therapy alone. These patients were
OBJECTIVE
The safety of high-dose iron sucrose infusion in hospitalized patients with chronic kidney disease was studied.
METHODS
A retrospective analysis was conducted at a 478-bed community hospital. A medical informatics search was performed to identify all hospitalized patients who were
OBJECTIVE
This report summarizes the data gathered in four prospective studies of intravenous iron sucrose therapy administered to iron-deficient hemodialysis patients with a history of intolerance to other parenteral iron preparations.
METHODS
A total of 130 iron dextran- and/or sodium ferric
The Eating Attitude Test 40 (EAT 40) was administered to 23 ballerinas (mean age 18.3 +/- 0.9 years). The scores were high, as they are in anorexic patients. The EAT 40 revealed anorexic-like attitudes in dancers: selective food restrictions, severe dieting, constant preoccupations with food.
Ethosuximide is an antiepileptic drug successfully used in the treatment of petit mal especially in childhood. Clinical investigations reveal that ethosuximide has a number of adverse side effects on the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of patients which may include heaviness, anorexia, pains in the

Anemia is a common health issue for elderly patients. For patients with iron deficiency who cannot tolerate iron supplementation by the oral route, the parenteral route may be used. Options for parenteral iron supplementation include ferric gluconate complex (FGC).
UNASSIGNED

BACKGROUND
A refrigerator-stable rotavirus (RV) vaccine that withstands gastric acid is anticipated to permit more widespread use of RV vaccine.
OBJECTIVE
We investigated for the first time in infants an oral, liquid formulation of G1 and G2 human bovine reassortant rotavirus vaccine (HRRV) with a
Rats have been shown to avoid consuming a flavor, but prefer a location, previously paired with amphetamine or morphine. A series of 4 experiments evaluated the hedonic properties of amphetamine and morphine in the house musk shrew (Suncus murinus), an insectivore that (unlike rats) is capable of
