BACKGROUND Disperse dyes are well-known contact sensitizers. However, they are not included in the majority of commercially available baseline patch test series. OBJECTIVES To investigate the outcome of patch testing with a textile dye mix (TDM) consisting of eight disperse dyes at dermatology clinics in various countries. PATIENTS/MATERIALS/METHODS Two thousand nine hundred and seven conse...

BACKGROUND The capacity of a polypeptide chain to engage in an amyloid formation process and cause a conformational disease is contained in its sequence. Some of the sequences undergoing fibrillation contain critical methionine (Met) residues which in vivo can be synthetically substituted by selenomethionine (SeM) and alter their properties. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Using peptide synthe...

background although the number of infectious diseases has sharply decreased in last few decades, parasitic diseases persist in developing countries. on the other hand, chronic psychiatric patients tend to have low self-control, poor personal hygiene, long term institutionalization and extremely low self-care should be monitored for parasitic diseases since psychosocial conditions can contribute...

purpose : to assess the results of brachytherapy in patients with recurrent or incomplete excised conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma (scc) and malignant melanoma. methods : three patients underwent brachytherapy of one eye and one patient underwent brachytherapy of both eyes with ruthenium-106 (ru-106) plaques, all of them had a history of incomplete resection or recurrence of the tumor after...

Light signaling has been demonstrated to be an important factor for plant growth and development; however, its role in the regulation of DNA replication and cell cycle has just started to be unraveled. In this work, we have demonstrated that the TOP2 promoter of Pisum sativum (pea) is activated by a broad spectrum of light including far-red light (FR), red light (RL) and blue light (BL). Deleti...

We have made the first VLBI synthesis images of the H2O maser emission associated with the central engine of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 1068. Emission extends about ±300 km s−1 from the systemic velocity. Images with submilliarcsecond angular resolution show that the red-shifted emission lies along an arc to the northwest of the systemic emission. (The blue-shifted emission has not yet been imaged ...

The operation of an electrochemical real-time PCR system, based on intercalative binding of methylene blue (MB) with dsDNA, has been demonstrated. PCR was performed on a fabricated electrode-patterned glass chip containing MB while recording the cathodic current peak by measuring the square wave voltammogram (SWV). The current peak signal was found to decrease with an increase in the PCR cycle ...

In the first half of the course, we covered topics from probability theory. The difference between statistics and probability theory is the following: In probability theory, we know everything about the underlying process that generates random variables. We then try to infer characteristics of these random variables. In statistics, however, we do not know the underlying process at all. To the c...
