MOTHER AND CARRIER: PHENOMENOLOGY STUDY OF DUAL-CARRIER FAMILY

The solute carrier 6 family of transporters.

The solute carrier 6 (SLC6) family of the human genome comprises transporters for neurotransmitters, amino acids, osmolytes and energy metabolites. Members of this family play critical roles in neurotransmission, cellular and whole body homeostasis. Malfunction or altered expression of these transporters is associated with a variety of diseases. Pharmacological inhibition of the neurotransmitte...

Do methicillin resistant staphylococcus (MRSA) carrier patients influence MRSA infection more than MRSA-carrier medical officers and MRSA-carrier family?

AIM to determine the rate of MRSA-carrier among patients, family members and health care providers, and the association between MRSA-carrier family members and health care providers on MRSA infection patient after orthopaedic surgery. METHODS this is a cross-sectional analytical study. Samples were taken consecutively during December 2010 to December 2011, consisting of postoperative patients...

Dual Carrier Probing for Spaceborne SAR Imaging

Spaceborne imaging of the Earth’s surface by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) may be adversely affected by the ionosphere that causes distortions of the signals emitted and received by the radar antenna. In our previous publication on the subject [SIAM J. Imaging Sci., 2 (2009) pp. 140–182], we have analyzed those distortions for the inhomogeneous ionosphere described by the cold plasma model. Ba...

Carrier Determination in a Hemophilia B Family Using Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism (SSCP) and Sequencing

Dual role of nanoparticles as drug carrier and drug

The conventional chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment of human malignancies are directed nonspecifically against both malignant and nonmalignant cells, often limiting their efficacy with having serious side effects. Recent development of drug delivery vehicles has opened up the possibility of targeted drug delivery systems with the potential of achieving maximum efficacy with minimal t...
