1. INTRODUCTION. Sinhala, an Indo-Aryan language spoken in Sri Lanka by approximately 13 million people, has a complicated system of nominal morphology. Number marking on nouns in the nominative case is based on a series of twelve noun classes partially determined by animacy. The marking of definiteness and case on nouns is simpler in some respects because the shape of these markers are determi...

food labels play an important role in well being of consumers. as a part of it, date marking is a valid guide to shelf life of a food. the present study was done in 2010, in smart food center, wollongong; new south wales, australia to determine if the residents are familiar with date marking of food products. data was accumulated by either interview guide or questionnaire method. basic unselect...

BACKGROUND Viral infection and anti-cardiac immunity are involved in the pathogenesis of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Immunity targeting particular antigens may evoke expansion of reactive T-cell clones. MATERIAL AND METHODS Myocardial tissues from explanted hearts were investigated for clonal T-cell-receptor- (TCR-) ß rearrangements by an established semi-nested polymerase chain reaction (P...

A case of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) that is likely to be associated with LMNA mutation Arg190Pro in a heterozygote is described. The features of DCM in the patient were conduction disorders, cardiac arrhythmias, progressive heart failure and minor musculoskeletal disturbances. We consider that the mutation Arg190Pro contributes to the formation of a weak nuclear lamina and diminis...

The study examines strategies multilingual children use to interpret grammatical relations, focusing on their two primary languages, Lajamanu Warlpiri and Light Warlpiri. Both languages use mixed systems for indicating grammatical relations. In both languages ergative-absolutive case-marking indicates core arguments, but to different extents in each language. In Lajamanu Warlpiri, pronominal cl...

Phospholamban (PLN) plays a central role in Ca2+ homeostasis in cardiac myocytes through regulation of the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase 2A (SERCA2A) Ca2+ pump. An inherited mutation converting arginine residue 9 in PLN to cysteine (R9C) results in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in humans and transgenic mice, but the downstream signaling defects leading to decompensation and heart fail...

The current study evaluated the general toxicity, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic activity of extracts obtained from the rhizomes of Eremostachys azerbaijanica (Labiatae) as well as analyzed the potent extracts using GC-MS. Extracts of E. azerbaijanica in n-hexane, dichloromethane (DCM) and methanol (MeOH) were prepared using a Soxhlet apparatus. The antioxidant activity of the extrac...

We describe a case of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) caused by a coronary-pulmonary fistula and myocardial ischemia induced by the coronary steal phenomenon, which was successfully treated with coil embolization. Coronary fistulae and coronary-steal-induced ischemia are rare causes of DCM in adults with normal coronary arteries. Percutaneous treatment represents an alternative to surgery and may ...

This study examines the system of case marking in two groups of German-speaking children, five children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) and five typically-developing (TD) children matched to the SLI children on a general measure of language development. The data from both groups demonstrate high accuracy scores for structural case marking and overapplications of structural cases to inst...
