Background :5HTTLPR polymorphism (5- Hydroxytryptamine transporter linked promoter region polymorphism) is the most widely studied genetic variant in psychiatry. The present study is a modest effort at ascertaining the role of 5HT transporter linked promoter region polymorphism (5HTTLPR) in anxiety and depressive disorders in Kashmir (India).The aim of this study was to examine 5-Hydroxy tryp...

introduction: patient/customer satisfaction and loyalty have gained increasing attention from executives across the healthcare industry. discharge against medical advice (dama) can be considered as one of the indicators of patient dissatisfaction. it has negative effects on patient treatment and leads to increased hospital costs. study of predictors of dama in a teaching hospital was the aim of...

Significant variation in the birth weight of piglets has arisen due to increased sow prolificacy. Intestinal development and function may be affected by weight. Low (LBW) pigs also have reduced feed intake, leading further impairment intestinal development. The objective this study was examine pattern LBW normal (NBW) with nutrition (NN) or restricted (RN) pre-weaning period. Jejunal samples we...

We detected inducible melibiose transport activity in cells of Enterobacter cloacae IID977. H+, but not Na+, was found to be the coupling cation for this transporter. We cloned and sequenced the gene encoding the melibiose transporter. A homology search of a protein sequence database revealed that this melibiose transporter has high sequence similarity with the lactose transporter (LacY) and th...

Seizures were induced by flurothyl inhalation. Rats were intramuscularly treated with progesterone after each seizure. Results demonstrated that glutamate transporter 2 and γ-aminobutyric acid transporter 1 expression levels were significantly increased in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of the developing rat brain following recurrent seizures. After progesterone treatment, glutamate transp...

An important issue in personality is the relationship between the life style of an individual, including his outlook, and his objective characteristics or characteristics of his situation. Certainly it would seem that the wayan individual chooses to construe his environment and his place in it should be related to his own characteristics.
