The aim of this study was to determine whether outdoor nitrogen dioxide (NO2) was associated
with the prevalence of asthma and respiratory symptoms. In eight nonurban communities…

We previously reported on a series of 27 newborn infants treated for posthemorrhagic
hydrocephalus with external ventricular drainage during 1984 to 1989. In the present study we …

The developmental and neurologic outcome of very-low-birth-weight infants (n=76) at 1 and
2 years, corrected for postconceptional age, and variables predicting outcome were …

Ozone at ambient concentrations affects lung function and initiates an inflammatory response
of the airways. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. In vitro …

Understanding Neogene arc crustal thickening in the central Andes requires (1) some
estimate of initial pre‐Neogene (prior to 26 Ma) crustal thicknesses and (2) mechanisms that …

We report on a male infant who presented with intrauterine growth retardation, severe postnatal
failure to thrive, microcephaly, facial dysmorphism, and skeletal dysplasia. The clinical …

Patterns of spatial distribution, and geochemical and isotopic evolution from subduction-related
igneous rocks provide tools for scaling, balancing and predicting orogenic processes …

… Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the increase in N-terminal pro–brain natriuretic
… 3 hours after a marathon (n = 46), a 100-km run (n = 14), and a mountain bike marathon (…

Background Cardiac troponins I and T and brain natriuretic peptide are the accepted standards
to serologically identify myocardial necrosis and elevated wall stress. In addition, they …

… N D = 10 16 cm −3 and a high doping density with N D = 10 18 cm −3 . Additionally, two different
defect concentrations N tr have been considered: a low defect concentration N … N tr = 10 …
