Late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) in aging men is a clinical and biochemical syndrome caused by an age-related decline in testosterone. Despite published in guidelines and recommendations, uncertainty surrounds the profile of clinical symptoms as well as the biochemical threshold of diagnosis. The only evidence-based treatment of late-onset hypogonadism is testosterone replacement therapy. The actu...

BACKGROUND Cognitive deficits of late-onset schizophrenia (LOS) patients have been reported as stable, although some prospective studies show that a sub-group develop a significant cognitive decline. Data on LOS from developing countries are scarce. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cognitive performance of Brazilian patients with LOS over the course of one year. METHOD Thirteen LOS patients were e...

In the title complex, [V(C(16)H(13)NO(3))(CH(3)O)O(CH(3)OH)], the V(V) atom is six-coordinated by a tridentate ligand derived from the condensation of salicyl-aldehyde and l-phenyl-alanine, a vanadyl O atom, a methano-late O atom and a methanol O atom, forming a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. In the crystal, inter-molecular O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in a two-dimensiona...

In the title complex, [V(C(13)H(15)NO(3))O(CH(3)O)(CH(3)OH)], the V(V) atom is six-coordinated by a tridentate O,N,O'-donor ligand, derived from the condensation of salicyl-aldehyde and l-isoleucine, a vanadyl O atom, a methano-late O atom and a methanol O atom in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The asymmetric unit contains two complex mol-ecules. In the crystal, inter-molecular O-H⋯O and C-H...

The asymmetric unit of the title tetra-nuclear niobium(V) compound, [Nb(4)(C(2)H(5)O)(8)(C(5)H(7)O(2))(4)O(4)], contains two Nb(V) atoms, two bridging O atoms, two acetyl-acetonate and four ethano-late ligands. Each Nb(V) atom is six-coordinated by the bridging O atoms, two ethano-late and one chelating acetyl-acetonate ligands. The Nb-O distances vary between 1.817 (2) and 2.201 (2) Å and the ...

Homeodomains appear to be one of the most frequently employed DNA-binding domains in a superfamily of transacting factors. It is likely that during evolution several sub-types of homeodomain have evolved from a common ancestral domain, resulting in distinct but closely related DNA-binding preferences. Here we describe the conservation of a distinct type of homeodomain encoded by the Drosophila ...
