The state of South Dakota's child: 2008

Abstract:
A three percent increase in births occurred in South Dakota in 2007, and the ethnic diversity of this cohort of new babies continued to grow, with 22 percent representing minority populations. The state's rate of low birth weight (less than 2500 grams) remained stable at 7 percent of births. Analyses of how singleton and multiple gestations differentially contribute to the increase of low birth weight show that mid-low birth weight (1500 to 2499 grams) newborns from multiple gestations are the only group that has increased in its percentage of low birth weight births from 1994 to 2007. Survival of low birth weight infants continues to improve and the state's overall infant mortality rate declined in 2007. This decrease in deaths during the first year of life included a 30 percent decline in what had been a persistently high rate of post-neonatal death (between the 28th and 365th days of life) for American Indian babies.

SDS-PAGE
A variation of gel electrophoresis, termed polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), is commonly used for separating proteins according to their molecular size by passing them through a polyacrylamide gel. Because of the varying charges associated with amino acid side chains, PAGE can be used to separate intact proteins...
