We determined the seroprevalence of latent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection among young and elderly adults to test for a change in seroprevalence with increasing age. Thirty-two young and 32 elderly adults were tested for antiCMV IgG, T-cell subgroup analysis, mental status and daily life activity. There was no significant difference in the seroprevalence of CMV infection between the two groups ...

PURPOSE To study the distribution of various occlusal schemes as well as associated static occlusal relationship among Thais. MATERIALS AND METHODS The subjects' occlusal schemes on the left and right sides were classified as canine protected occlusion, group function, or unclassified according to the definition from Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms (8(th) edition). In addition, the presence o...

we investigated sexual size dimorphism in the tree frog, hyla savignyi using 33 males and 22 females from the western and northwestern regions of kermanshah province, western iran. out of sixteen measured morphometric characters, four were significantly larger in females than in males. these characters were nostrileye length, brachium length, elbowlongest finger length and hind limb length.

We have successfully designed a custom genome browser for visualization of the genome of the invertebrate chordate Ciona intestinalis. We describe the use of the genome browser to visualize the conservation between Ciona intestinalis and a related species, Ciona savignyi. Visualizing genomic conservation between these two organisms is important for determining genes and regulatory regions that ...
