IMMUNODEFICIENCY WITH HYPER-IGM (HIGMl), AN IMMUNOGLOBULIN ISOTYPE SWITCH DEFECT CHARACTERIZED BY ELEVATED CONCENTRATIONS OF SERUM IGM AND DECREASED AMOUNTS OF ALL OTHER ISOTYPES. AFFECTED MALES PRESENT AT AN EARLY AGE (USUALLY WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF LIFE) RECURRENT BACTERIAL AND OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS, INCLUDING PNEUMOCYSTIS CARINII PNEUMONIA AND INTRACTABLE DIARRHEA DUE TO CRYPTOSPORIDIUM INFECTION. DESPITE SUBSTITUTION TREATMENT WITH INTRAVENOUS IMMUNOGLOBULIN, THE OVERALL PROGNOSIS IS RATHER POOR, WITH A DEATH RATE OF ABOUT 10% BEFORE ADOLESCENCE. [Pg.34]

Children 6 to 12 years of age Usual starting dosage is 2 mg 3 to 4 times/day. For those who fail to respond to the initial starting dosage, cautiously increase stepwise, but do not exceed 24 mg/day in divided doses. [Pg.712]

Adults and children older than 12 years of age Usual recommended dose is 8 mg every 12 hours in some patients, 4 mg every 12 hours may be sufficient. In unusual circumstances (eg, low adult body weight), initial doses may be 4 mg every 12 hours and progress to 8 mg every 12 hours according to response. The dose may be cautiously increased stepwise under physician supervision to a maximum of 32 mg/day in divided doses (eg, every 12 hours) if symptoms are not controlled. [Pg.712]

Adults and children older than 12 years of age Usual dose is 2 or 4 mg 3 or 4 times/day. Give doses greater than 4 mg 4 times/day only when patient fails to respond. If a favorable response does not occur, cautiously increase, but do not exceed 8 mg 4 times/day. [Pg.713]

Adults and children older than 2 years of age Usual dose is 25 mg at bedtime 12.5 mg before meals and at bedtime may be given, if necessary. Single 25 mg doses at bedtime or 6.25 to 12.5 mg taken 3 times daily will usually suffice. Doses of 25 mg will control minor transfusion reactions of an allergic nature. [Pg.799]

Chiidren (2 to 5 years of age) Usual total daily dose does not exceed 20 mg. [Pg.1118]

The major physical attributes of concrete as a construction material are a high compressive strength and stiffness, an ability to protect and restrain steel and, most important of all, to retain these properties over a considerable period of time. The effects that water-reducing admixtures have on these properties can be considered from the point of view of design parameters, i.e. those properties of concrete at a relatively early age (usually 28 days) which are used for structural calculations, and longer-term aspects or durability. [Pg.80]

The hardened state at a relatively early age (usually 28 days) where mechanical properties are determined as a basis of structural requirements. [Pg.142]

A simple vanadium mobility test can be setup, in which the vanadium which migrates from vanadium-loaded catalyst towards non-vanadium loaded catalyst can be measured under catalyst aging (usually steaming) conditions (2). [Pg.335]

The hardened state at a relatively early age (usually 28 days) where mechanical properties are determined as a basis of structural requirements. The later hardened state during its in place life when the concrete should fulfill its structural or aesthetic role without deterioration under the service conditions. [Pg.106]

Aging is important in mead production, particularly in relation to the development of aroma compounds, particularly ethyl acetate. Aging usually lasts between 1 and 10 years. Nevertheless, caution is required as ethyl acetate is sometimes considered an off-flavor, with a solvent-like odor (Mendes-Ferreira et al., 2010). Roldan et al. (2011) has observed that ethyl acetate content is related to the acetic acid content—meads with higher volatile acidity had higher ethyl acetate values. [Pg.114]

Usage Roots are collected in late autumn or spring, washed, voided of root fibres and dried with moderate heat. Root may be chewed or broken up and boiled as a tea. Doses range from 2 to 10 inches of root. Root deteriorates with age. Usually inactive after 1 year. Store closed in cool dry place. [Pg.5]

Experimental studies of aging usually employ radioactive-tracer techniques for observation of exchange of ions between precipitate and solution, the adsorption of suitable dyes on the surface of a precipitate to measure the extent of the specific surface, microscopic or x-ray observation of the precipitate, or a combination of these. [Pg.154]

Approximately 95% of patients with bipolar disorder experience episodes of depression during their lifetime. " Recurrent depressive episodes are more common in women compared to menA Unipolar mania (i.e., with no depressive episodes) occurs in less than 5% to 9% of patients. More than 80% of patients have more than four mood episodes during their lifetime untreated patients may have ten or more episodes during their lifetime. There may be a longer duration of episodes and more frequent episodes with aging. Usually there is a period of normal functioning between episodes, but approximately 20% to 30% of patients with bipolar I type and 15% with bipolar II type have no period of euthymia because of mood lability, residual mood symptoms, or a direct switch to the opposite polarity. ... [Pg.1262]

Urinary incontinence, which becomes more prevalent with increasing age, usually is not improved by estrogen therapy, and in one large clinical trial, estrogen-progestogen therapy actually increased incontinence. ... [Pg.1502]

The measles vaccine is administered subcutaneously as a0.5-mL dose in the arm (or in the thigh if the patient is younger than 15 months of age). The vaccine is administered routinely for primary immunization to persons 12 to 15 months of age, usually as the MMR vaccine. The measles vaccine is not administered earlier than 12 months (except in certain outbreak circumstances) because persisting maternal antibody that was acquired transplacentally late in gestation can neutralize the vaccine virus before the vaccinated person can mount an immune response. A second dose of MMR is recommended when... [Pg.2238]
