the biochemistry of endogenous organosulphur compounds.	the role and metabolism of methionine and cysteine in mammals are described. an outline of the history of glutathione, of its function in maintaining the thiol status of the cell and of its protective action against oxidative stress, is given. the importance of glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidases, glutathione-s-transferases in endogenous metabolism and of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase is described. the relationship between cysteine and glutathione is considered together with the inter- ...	2011	3155361
recent advances and controversies in childhood renal osteodystrophy.	renal osteodystrophy starts very early in chronic renal failure. although vitamin d levels are normal in patients with 70-80% function, the levels are not appropriate to the prevailing biochemical milieu. renal osteodystrophy may contribute to renal growth failure but a correlation between the degree of renal osteodystrophy and growth failure is not observed. catch-up growth cannot be obtained over a longer period of time with vitamin d. the main reason for osteomalacia is al intoxication. alumi ...	2010	3153280
continuous ecg monitoring of children with cancer receiving domperidone.	domperidone is an effective antiemetic for children receiving cytotoxic therapy. there have been reports of cardiac arrest in older patients associated with domperidone. we carried out continuous ecg monitoring of 18 children receiving domperidone intravenously in a dose of 1 mg/kg body weight. no serious dysrhythmias were noted during 379 h of recording. single premature beats, transient sinus pauses, and nodal block were occasionally associated with vomiting and were no more common than would ...	2010	3153247
