SUMMARY A six month, double blind, crossover controlled trial of bezafibrate was conducted in 14 children with familial hypercholesterolaemia all of whom had a strong family history of early coronary heart disease. The bezafibrate was given twice daily in a dose of 10 to 20 mg/kg/day. The mean plasma total cholesterol concentration on bezafibrate was 22% lower than during the period on placebo and there was a moderate rise in high density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Life history parameters were determined for stranded and bycaught harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) from Scottish (UK) waters (1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005). Fetal growth rate was 84.4 mm/mo and mean size at birth was 76.4 cm (range 65-88 cm). Males and females had a similar range of body lengths (65-170 cm and 66-173 cm, respectively), although asymptotic lengths were higher in females than males (approximately 158 cm and 147 cm, respectively). Nonpregnant females were significantly lighter, in relation to their length than males. Maximum estimated age was 20 yr for both sexes. Age at sexual maturity (ASM) was estimated as 4.35 yr in females and 5.

During 9 experiments simulating continuous intragastric infusion of human breast milk, variations in milk energy content of up to 24% occurred, the samples taken at the end of 8-12 hours' infusion being particularly energy-rich compared with earlier samples. Burettes should be regularly agitated during infusions of human milk.
