Acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL) is characterised by proliferation of abnormal promyelocytes. The reciprocal translocation between the long arms of chromosomes 15 and 17, and the fusion between the retinoic acid receptor (RARa) gene, and PML gene, is unique to APL. Because of unsuccessful cytogenetic analysis of conventional G-banding technique (mitoses were not observed), we diagnosed three...

the reciprocal degree distance (rdd)‎, ‎defined for a connected graph $g$ as vertex-degree-weighted sum of the reciprocal distances‎, ‎that is‎, ‎$rdd(g) =sumlimits_{u,vin v(g)}frac{d_g(u)‎ + ‎d_g(v)}{d_g(u,v)}.$ the reciprocal degree distance is a weight version of the harary index‎, ‎just as the degree distance is a weight version of the wiener index‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we present exact formu...

This paper sets out to examine the current vocabulary teaching and learning strategies based on research studies. It first reviews the historical development of vocabulary status in the ELT pedagogy. It then analyses the current vocabulary teaching and learning strategies by considering the strengths and weaknesses of the contextual and de-contextual perspectives of getting access to and retain...

INTRODUCTION Somatic chromosomal rearrangements that occur in infertile males are thought to be one of the major genetic factors influencing male infertility. The objective of this retrospective study was to evaluate sperm parameters in a group of patients with balanced translocations. MATERIAL AND METHODS We analyzed semen of 84 balanced somatic translocation carriers [35 Robertsonian transl...

background: self-esteem is essential for clinical judgments. nursing students in clinical environments should make a bridge between theoretical education and clinical function. this study was aimed to survey the effect of guided questioning in peer groups on nursing students’ self-esteem and clinical learning. materials and methods: in this quasi-experimental study, all nursing students in seme...

This paper gives a sharp lower bound on the spectral radius ρ(A) of a reciprocal Perron–Frobenius matrix A ∈ M2g(Z), and shows in particular that ρ(A) ≥ (3 + √ 5)/2. This bound supports conjectures on the minimal entropy of pseudo-Anosov maps. The proof is based on a study of the curve complex of a directed graph.

Background: The Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) characterized by t (9; 22) (q34; q11.2) is a reciprocal translocation giving rise to a chimeric BCR-ABL fusion gene. Incidence of Ph chromosome is over 98% in Patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) and around 20% in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The finding of this fusion gene is essential for diagnosis of CML by detection of various fusi...
