The extent to which 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and IGF-I influence bone mineral content (BMC) accrual from early to mid-puberty is unclear. OBJECTIVE, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This study sought to determine relationships among 25(OH)D, IGF-I, and BMC in community-dwelling prepubertal females (n = 76; aged 4-8 yr at baseline) over a period of up to 9 yr.

    Non-transferrin-bound iron (NTBI) was evaluated as an index of iron overload in a cross-sectional randomised study in 74 non-transfused patients with thalassaemia intermedia (TI). Mean NTBI (2.92 +/- 3.43 micromol/l), serum ferritin (1023 +/- 780 ng/ml) and liver iron concentration (LIC; 9.0 +/- 7.4...

    We present a case of successfully treated persistent bacteremia due to Gram-positive bacteria with daptomycin in a preterm neonate. Daptomycin was given at higher doses (6 mg/kg/dose) and shorter intervals (every 12 hours) than those recommended for adults with no adverse events. Peak and trough ser...
