conclusions the pe gene was successfully cloned and confirmed by sequencing. finally, pe was obtained with high concentration. due to high homology and similarity among the pe gene from nthi atcc 49766 and other nthi strains in genbank, we believe that the protein is a universal antigen to be used as a vaccine design candidate and further studies to evaluate its immunogenicity is underway. mate...

background: pre-eclampsia (pe) is one of the most important and life-threatening pregnancy disorders that affect at least 3-5% of all pregnancies. imbalance in helper t cell functions may play a role in predisposing to pe or severity of the disease. elevated frequencies of th17 cells in the peripheral blood of pe patients have been reported. several single nucleotide polymorphisms (snp) within ...

OBJECTIVES In a previous study, we have described the predictive value of first-trimester Pregnancy-Associated Plasma Protein-A (PAPP-A), free β-subunit of human Chorionic Gonadotropin (fβ-hCG), Placental Growth Factor (PlGF) and A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease 12 (ADAM12) for early onset preeclampsia (EO-PE; delivery <34 weeks). The objective of the current study was to obtain the predictive...

Higher education is faced with the question of how large numbers students can be supported to learn complex skills without increasing teachers' supervision time proportionally and while preserving, or preferably improving, quality. Practicing only once does not work. Students need repetitive practice, feedback, structured support master a skill. They gain insight into what went well could impro...

OBJECTIVE To examine the influence of state laws and district policies on district-wide elementary school and middle school practices related to physical education (PE) time and the percentage of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) time during PE. DESIGN Multivariate, cross-sectional analysis of state laws, district wellness and PE policies, and district PE practices for school year...

BACKGROUND The frequency of the thrombophilic genetic variants factor V Leiden (FVL) G1691A, prothrombin G20210A, and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T in acutely symptomatic ambulatory patients with idiopathic pulmonary embolism (PE) has not been measured. METHODS This prospective case-control study included patients presenting to urban emergency departments (EDs) with chest ...

For many decades it has been thought that lifelong premature ejaculation (PE) is only characterized by persistent early ejaculations. Despite enormous progress of in vivo animal research, and neurobiological, genetic and pharmacological research in men with lifelong PE, our current understanding of the mechanisms behind early ejaculations is far from complete. The new classification of PE into ...
