Breath-hydrogen tests (BHTs) were performed on 310 Burmese village children aged 1-59 mo. After a 10-g lactulose test meal, 94 (30.3%) children produced less than 10 ppm H2 above basal values (nonhydrogen producers). Of 216 hydrogen producers, 210 were tested after a cooked rice meal (3 g cooked
With the objective of determining the relationship between ascariasis and carbohydrate absorption from rice, breath hydrogen tests (BHT's) were performed in two study populations of Burmese village children. Using a rice test meal, breath hydrogen peaks greater than 10 ppm above baseline within 4
Rice carbohydrate malabsorption is common in Burmese village children and adults and may contribute to diminished growth. Its diagnosis depends on a rice breath hydrogen test, which has limitations. Almost 20% of Burmese children under age 5 produce methane, compared with less than 7% of children in
Breath hydrogen tests were performed after a rice meal (3 g of cooked rice/kg of body weight, equivalent to 1 g of carbohydrate/kg of body weight) on 256 village children (age range 1-59 months) who were known hydrogen (H2) producers. Anthropometric measurements were made every three months and
We quantified the specific dynamic action (SDA) resulting from the ingestion of various meal types in Burmese pythons (Python molurus) at 30 degrees C. Each snake was fed a series of experimental meals consisting of amino acid mixtures, simple proteins, simple or complex carbohydrates, or lipids as
Breath-hydrogen tests were performed after a rice meal (3 g cooked rice/kg body wt, equivalent to 1 g carbohydrate/kg body wt) at monthly intervals for 6 mo on 75 village children aged 1-59 mo who were known hydrogen producers. The overall rate for rice-carbohydrate malabsorption was 46.7% (range
In the assessment of carbohydrate malabsorption, it is important to determine if patients with a flat breath hydrogen (H2) response to an absorbable carbohydrate challenge are capable of producing H2. We compared the reliability of a rapid faecal incubation system with the lactulose breath test to
There is evidence for the role of genetic and environmental factors in feline and canine diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes in cats. Evidence for genetic factors in feline diabetes includes the overrepresentation of Burmese cats with diabetes. Environmental risk factors in
BACKGROUND
Achieving insulin independence is emerging as a realistic therapeutic goal in the management of feline diabetes mellitus.
METHODS
The management of an 11-year-old spayed female Burmese cat presenting with diabetes mellitus after corticosteroid administration is described. Remission was
This study presents data on consumption patterns, methods of food procurement, and adequacy of dietary intake among Burmese refugee camp households living along Thailand's border with Burma. Households established for one or more years and with children under 15 years of age were sampled. A
