FAILURE TO THRIVE.

ABSTRACT: Failure to thrive is a commonly encountered problem in Paediatric practice. This essentially generic term refers to children whose attained weight or rate of weight gain is significantly below that of other children of similar age and same sex. Several defining criteria have been proposed and help to differentiate true failure to thrive from other conditions causing apparent growth failure. There are numerous organic causes of failure to thrive, but non-organic failure to thrive is also an important entity and is caused by social, psychological and environmental factors. The clinical features are those of malnutrition, signs of underlying organic cause and specific manifestations of environmental/psychosocial deprivation. Indiscriminate laboratory investigations are usually non-contributory and have no role in evaluation. Management requires a multidisciplinary approach and hospitalization has a specific role. Although nutritional rehabilitation is the cornerstone of therapy, treatment of underlying factors-medical, psychological, social and environmental-should receive equally important attention. Long term physical, developmental and behavioural sequelae are known to occur in children with failure to thrive.

CNVs in spermatogenic failure

Project description:To determine the involvement of Copy Number Variants (CNVs) in the origin of male infertility, patients with idiopathic severe oligozoospermia, Sertoli-cell-only syndrome and controls with normozoospermia were analysed by array CGH using the 244A/400K array sets (Agilent Technologies). Comparison of 89 infertile male patients with severe oligozoospermia (≤5 x Mill./ml sperm concentration and ≤10 Mill. total sperm count) and 37 with azoospermia due to complete, bilateral Sertoli-cell-only syndrome (SCOS) with 100 healthy controls with normal semen parameters (≥20 Mill./ml sperm concentration, ≥40 Mill. total sperm count, ≥2 ml semen volume, ≥50% of a+b or ≥25% a motility, high percentage of normal forms (≥10%)). Patients with recurring, patient-specific and mostly private, sex-chromosomal CNVs (29 with OAT and 17 with SCOS) are reported as possibly causing spermatogenic failure.

Examining failure learning in online lending: Complete failure vs. incomplete failure.

Project description:We examine the learning effects of borrowers' failures in online lending. Based on funding ratios of borrowers' loan listings in online lending, we first explore the role of failure degree in borrowers' future funding performance. Further, we disaggregate borrowers' funding failure into complete failure and incomplete failure, and compare theirs learning effects. Using a large sample of 610,000 online loan applications over six years from a Chinese leading online lending platform Renrendai, we use funding ratio to quantifiably measure each loan listing's failure degree and conduct a series of tests. The results show that: (1) Borrowers' failure degree of prior loan applications is negatively associated with one's subsequent funding performance. (2) Borrowers' complete failure cannot promote learning, while incomplete failure is good for future performance. (3) Both incomplete failure and complete failure interacted to influence the value of each type of experience and generate improved learning. Our results are robust across a variety of settings. The study sheds light for deeply understanding of failure learning phenomenon, and can also provide important implications for online lending managers to support successful financial transactions.

Prevention of acute liver failure

Project description:Aim of this project was the evaluation of the effect of flushing (intraportal and intraoperative) hepatic allografts with tacrolimus before transplantation. Group A was administered tacrolimus, 20ng/ml in 1500ml albumin solution; and Group B was administered only albumin solution. Wedge biopsie of the allograft were harvested after 15 min flushing time and the gene expression profile were determined. The primary study objective was to determine on a genome-wide basis whether intraoperative and intraportal treatment of the allograft with tacrolimus reduces inflammatory signature in the liver. The secondary objective was the causally test, whether suppression of genes belongong to the ontologies of inflammation and immune response by tacrolimus will lead to a better initial function of the liver. randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

Heart Failure, DITPA and Captopril

Project description:Three weeks after infarction, age matched rats with large infarction by ECG criteria were randomly assigned to one of the three groups: 1) Treatment with Captopril for 21 days and a daily subcutaneous dose of DITPA for the last 10 days of treatment, 2) Treatment for 10 days with DITPA alone, 3) Control heart failure and 4) Sham-operated. Keywords: Drug Effects on Heart Failure Total RNA was prepared from left ventricle using TRIzol and later Poly A+ RNA was isolated with Oligotex beads. About 0.5ug Poly A+ RNA was reverse transcribed and labeled with Alexa Fluor 546 and 647. Labeled probed were hybridized with Operon's rat Unigene oligo library printed on glass slides. After 2 lows and 1 high stringency washes, Prolong Antifade was added to the slides to prevent any bleaching effect. The experiments were repeated 2-4 times by dye-swaping. Slides were scanned in Array Worx scanner with dual wave length. The data ratio was normalized using a location and intensity dependent Lowess formula.

Control and Congestive Heart Failure

Project description:Congestive heart failure was done by artificial myocardial infarction. After extracting total RNA from control and infarcted ventricles with Triazol, messenger RNA was isolated with Qiagen mRNA isolation kit. About 1.5ug poly A+ RNA was taken for probe preparation. Probe was labeled with Alexa Fluor 546 and 657. Labeled probes were hybridized with Qiagen rat unigene oligo library. After 2 low and 1 high stringency washes Prolong Antifade was added to the slides to prevent bleaching effect. The data ratio was normalized using a location and intensity dependent Lowess formula.
