OBJECTIVES: Early enteral nutrition (EN) has been advocated as a means of possible improving survival rate in critically ill patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of EN on incidence of sepsis, septic shock and organ failure in critically ill patients requiring ventilatory support. METHODS: After institutional approval 25 patients in the prospective study were enrolled Nasoenteric feeding tube (group EN, n= 15)) was inserted and EN was started within 48 hours of event leading to admission to ICU. The enteral formula used ...

ABSTRACT In this chapter, we review recent data about the involvement of both the main and the accessory olfactory system in mate recognition and the control of sexual behavior in mice. Whereas the main olfactory system seems to play a central role in mate recognition in both male and female mice, clear sex differences emerge with regard to which olfactory system plays a more important role in the control of sexual behavior. Indeed, the main but not the accessory olfactory system seems to be more important in regulating sexual behavior in male mice, whereas in female mice, the accessory olfactory system seems to play a critical role in the control of mating. Olfaction is of primary importance for social recognition in mammals, including mice. Thus mice use odors to distinguish sex, social or reproductive status of conspecifics (Brennan and Zufall 2006; Brown 1979). In addition, odors have been shown to facilitate the display of sexual behavior (e.g. Thompson and Edwards 1972) and to induce neuroendocrine responses (e.g. pregnancy block in female mice; Brennan and Keverne 1997).

The resistance gene H1 confers resistance to the potato cyst nematode Globodera rostochiensis and is located at the distal end of the long arm of chromosome V of potato. For marker enrichment of the H1 locus, a bulked segregant analysis (BSA) was carried out using 704 AFLP primer combinations. A second source of markers tightly linked to H1 is the ultra-high-density (UHD) genetic map of the potato cross SH x RH. This map has been produced with 387 AFLP primer combinations and consists of 10,365 AFLP markers in 1,118 bins (http://www.dpw.wageningen-ur.nl/uhd/). Comparing these two methods revealed that BSA resulted in one marker/cM and the UHD map in four markers/cM in the H1 interval. Subsequently, a high-resolution genetic map of the H1 locus has been developed using a segregating F(1) SH x RH population consisting of 1,209 genotypes. Two PCR-based markers were designed at either side of the H1 gene to screen the 1,209 genotypes for recombination events. In the high-resolution genetic map, two of the four co-segregating AFLP markers could be separated from the H1 gene. Marker EM1 is located at a distance of 0.2 cM, and marker EM14 is located at a distance of 0.8 cM. The other two co-segregating markers CM1 (in coupling) and EM15 (in repulsion) could not be separated from the H1 gene.

A number of Aspect-Oriented (AO) Requirements, Architecture, and Design approaches have emerged recently. In this report we survey the most significant of these approaches, considering their origins, aims, and contributions. Alongside the AO approaches, we also analyse some of the contemporary non-AO work in order to bring out the differences between two sets of techniques, and to understand the potential contributions of aspect-oriented analysis and design. We also provide some initial insights into processes for AO requirements engineering, analysis and design which may serve as basis for integration of the work of the AOSDEUROPE project partners. We also outline some issues relevant to such integration.
