A high level of physical activity helps soldiers to fight against many chronic non-communicable pathologies. The aim the study was measure (PA) Armed Forces Democratic Republic Congo in Kinshasa, aged 19 69. This is a cross-sectional and observational with questionnaire survey. It conducted Garrison Kinshasa where cardiovascular exploration center bodies military health served us as pilot point...

The contributions of the Sgs1, Mph1, and Srs2 DNA helicases during mitotic double-strand break (DSB) repair in yeast were investigated using a gap-repair assay. A diverged chromosomal substrate was used as a repair template for the gapped plasmid, allowing mismatch-containing heteroduplex DNA (hDNA) formed during recombination to be monitored. Overall DSB repair efficiencies and the proportions...

A century of genetic studies of the meiotic process in Drosophila melanogaster females has been greatly augmented by both modern molecular biology and major advances in cytology. These approaches, and the findings they have allowed, are the subject of this review. Specifically, these efforts have revealed that meiotic pairing in Drosophila females is not an extension of somatic pairing, but rat...

OBJECTIVE Epidemiological data reveal that the overall risk for kidney stones disease is lower for women compared to age-matched men. However, the beneficial effect for the female sex is lost upon menopause, a time corresponding to the onset of fall in estrogen levels. The aim of this study was to describe the serum estradiol (E2) and testosterone (T) characteristics of naturally postmenopausal...

Meiotic recombination initiated in prophase I of meiosis generates either crossovers (COs), which are reciprocal exchanges between chromosome segments, or gene conversion not associated to crossovers (NCOs). Both kinds of events occur in narrow regions (less than 10 kilobases) called hotspots, which are distributed non-homogenously along chromosomes. The aim of my PhD was the characterization o...

We consider the Melvin Twist of AdS5×S5 under U(1)×U(1) isometry of the boundary S3 of the global AdS5 geometry and identify its field theory dual. We also study the thermodynamics of the Melvin deformed theory. Melvin twist, also known as the T-s-T transformation, is a powerful solution generating technique in supergravity and string theories [1–6]. The procedure relies on having a U(1)× U(1) ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate chief complaints, the prevalence of the oral diseases and the treatments needed in military personnel in comparison to the civilians. MATERIAL AND METHOD The dental records of new patients at Phramongkutklao Hospital from January to December 2003 were reviewed. The retrieved information included demographic status, chief complaint, diagnosis and the treatment needed. Des...

Recombinants isolated from most meiotic intragenic recombination experiments in maize, but not in yeast, are borne principally on crossover chromosomes. This excess of crossovers is not explained readily by the canonical double-strand break repair model of recombination, proposed to account for a large body of yeast data, which predicts that crossovers (COs) and noncrossovers (NCOs) should be r...

Objectives To assess referrals to a Field Hospital Mental Health Team (FMHT), assign a diagnosis, provide appropriate treatment, and decide whether suitable for safe return to unit in theatre (RTU), or evacuation home on psychiatric grounds (evac). Methods All documented referrals to the FMHT of 202 Field Hospital during the Op Telic 1 study period of 17 March (day 1) to 23 July 2003 (day 129) ...
