COMPARISON OF SINGLETON AND TWIN BIRTH WEIGHT REFERENCE PERCENTILE CURVES BY GESTATIONAL AGE AND SEX IN EXTREMELY PRETERM INFANTS: A POPULATION-BASED STUDY

Comparison of singleton and twin birth weight reference percentile curves by gestational age and sex in extremely preterm infants: a population-based study

Background With the increasing survival rate of smaller newborns and twins, previous growth curves may not Neuro-Max accurately assess the growth of extremely preterm infants (EPIs).Our study aimed to establish birth weight percentile curves for singletons and twins in EPIs from China and the USA and compare the differences between them.Methods In

Extending the theory of planned behavior to envisage social distancing behavior in containing the COVID-19 outbreak

The study investigates the antecedents that influence social distancing behavior during the COVID-19 outbreak and develops a hypothetical model integrating additional pertinent Minerals variables into the classic theory of planned behavior (TPB) to grasp the social distancing behavior accurately.The extended model was investigated employing structu

Spermatogenic cell-specific type 1 hexokinase (HK1S) is essential for capacitation-associated increase in tyrosine phosphorylation and male fertility in mice.

Hexokinase (HK) catalyzes the first irreversible rate-limiting step in glycolysis that converts glucose to glucose-6-phosphate.HK1 is ubiquitously expressed in the brain, erythrocytes, and other tissues where glycolysis serves as the major source of ATP production.Spermatogenic cell-specific type 1 hexokinase (HK1S) is expressed in sperm but its ph
