This article reconstructs the diagnostic act of the French pox in the French-disease hospital of sixteenth-century Augsburg. It focuses on how the participants in the clinical encounter imagined the configuration of the pox and its localization in the human body. Of central importance for answering this question is the early modern conception of physical signs. It has been argued that it was du...

PRODH, encoding proline oxidase (POX), has been associated with schizophrenia through linkage, association, and the 22q11 deletion syndrome (Velo-Cardio-Facial syndrome). Here, we show in a family-based sample that functional polymorphisms in PRODH are associated with schizophrenia, with protective and risk alleles having opposite effects on POX activity. Using a multimodal imaging genetics app...

Effects of cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) obtained from Bacillus subtilis ABS-S14 on eliciting defense-related gene transcription and activity of defense-related enzymes; glucanase (GLU), chitinase (CHI), peroxidase (POX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) in Citrus sinensis cv. Valencia fruit were determined. The maximum level of GLU transcripts induced in fruit treated with fengycin was significantly greates...

These memoranda must prove of great value and convenience to general practitioners. They supply all the necessary indications for the differential diagnosis of small-pox, chicken-pox, measles, German measles, scarlatina, diphtheria, idiopathic erysipelas, typhus, typhoid, and mumps. The normal periods of latency, premonitory fever, duration of fever, and length of infectiveness of these disorde...

Vaccination started on the East Indian Kailway in 1884 as a systematic work the records of which are not available before 1893, the 19 years recorded here show a progressive protection of the railway staff with a very small incidence of small-pox cases. Those numbers would hardly appeal to an English audience, where universal vaccination, until the conscientious objector stepped in, had made sm...

slightest symptom observable due to the xylol. The result was as follows : On the second day of the xylol treatment, when 45 nuns, were administered, the rash was fully pustular. On the next day the pustules were nearly all dried up, and the following day found every trace of pustule disappeared. The sepoy bears four good vaccination marks (evidently of childhood) and a failed revaccination in ...

The finding that chemical changes tition and interrelatedness of research activities, as well in the protein could be correlated with changes in the as the scientists and opinions involved are described nucleic acid portion of the virus encouraged the use of with an engaging narrative style, enabling the reader to TMV as a central tool in efforts to crack the genetic code. ...

purpose: to report a case of adie’s tonic pupil following chicken pox. case report: a 7-year-old girl with history of chicken pox manifesting one week ago presented with loss of near and far vision in her right eye. the right pupil was larger than the left in room light and abnormal iris configuration was seen with pen light illumination. after instillation of diluted pilocarpine (0.1%) in both...

Organophosphate (OP) compounds which include nerve agents and pesticides are considered chemical threat agents. Currently approved antidotes are crucial in limiting OP mediated acute mortality. However, survivors of lethal OP exposure exhibit delayed neuronal injury and chronic behavioral morbidities. In this study, we investigated neuroprotective capabilities of dantrolene and carisbamate in a...
