“5-Substituted furan-2(3H)-ones and 1-phenyl-1H-pyrrol-2(3H)-ones reacted with diazonium salts derived from substituted anilines and 1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-amine to give azo coupling products at the methylene group in the heteroring. The products were found to exist as hydrazone tautomers.”
“OBJECTIVE: To test whether weight and
the weight gain rate during different AZD2014 age periods are associated with being overweight/obese at 10 years of age.
METHODS: A nested case-control study was performed in a clinical historic cohort that was selected based on medical records from the Albert Einstein Hospital Social Program in Sao Paulo, Brazil. A sample of 378 eutrophic and overweight/obese children was analyzed.
RESULTS: After adjusting for birth weight
Proteasome function and gestational age, the likelihood of being overweight/obese at 10 years of age was 4.04-fold greater when progressing from one quartile of weight gain to the immediately superior quartile in the first semester of life and 3.24-fold greater when this occurred from 2-5 years of age. A one-quartile change in weight gain in the first semester was associated with a 0.5 z-score increase in BMI at age 10. A robust independent effect of weight at age 5 confirmed that earlier weight gain was an important predictor.
CONCLUSIONS: The amount of weight gain during the first 6 months of life and between 2 and 5 years of age and weight at age 5 were important predictors of overweight/obesity at 10 years of age.”
“Objective. To determine the outcome of labor induction with intravaginal misoprostol among women with perception of persistent decrease in fetal movements at term. Method. The study MLN2238 group comprising 107 women who had induction of labor at term for primary complaint of decreased
fetal movements (DFM) were compared with equal number of women who had induction for prolong pregnancy in a university teaching hospital. Results. Caesarean section rate (39.3% vs. 22.4%, P<0.001) and birthweight less than 2500 g (11.2% vs. 2.8%, P=0.02) were significantly higher in the DFM group with the leading indication for caesarean delivery being nonreassuring fetal heart rate. Also, the incidence of 5-min Apgar score <7 were significantly lower among women in the DFM group. However, there was no difference in neonatal unit admission. There was no case of early neonatal death in both groups of women. Conclusion. Intravaginal misoprostol for labor induction is a safe delivery option for women with perception of DFM with reassuring nonstress test. Since all cases with persistent decrease in fetal movements had reassuring nonstress test, the reduction in fetal movements was most likely due to altered perception.”
