dental arch form is one of the most important characteristics of dentition. however, this dimension usually receives less attention in diagnosis or treatment planning and orthodontic patients are traditionally classified with regard to their sagittal characteristics. the objectives of this study were to investigate if a relationship exists between the dental arch width (transverse dimension) an...

Treatment with testosterone (T) or estradiol (E2) facilitates intraspecific aggressive behavior in adult rodents. Brain aromatization of T to E2 appears to be involved in facilitation of fighting behavior. In the present study we measure the in vitro brain aromatase activity (AA) in the preoptic area (POA), amygdaloid nuclei (Am), ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), and parietal cortex (CTX) from ...

AIM This study was undertaken with the aim to compare and establish the genetic relatedness between classical swine fever virus (CSFV) genogroup 2.2 isolate and pestivirus reference strains. MATERIALS AND METHODS The available complete genome sequences of CSFV/IND/UK/LAL-290 strain and other pestivirus reference strains were retrieved from GenBank. The complete genome sequence, complete open ...

Devendra Lal was an Indian nuclear physicist who began his career studying particle physics while a student at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) in Bombay, using tracks emulsions to study cosmic ray particles and their interactions. He soon moved on search for radionuclides produced atmosphere by bombardment, independently (with colleagues) discovering radioisotopes Be, P Si the...

PURPOSE To understand the pathogenic mechanism of leptospiral uveitis by determining the profile of infiltrating cells, the levels of cytokines, and the causative factor in aqueous humor (AH). METHODS AH and blood samples were collected from 22 patients with leptospiral uveitis that was confirmed by microscopic agglutination test (MAT). Nine patients with Behçet's uveitis, 10 with phacolytic ...

The 5 9 ~ o NMR and magnetization measurement in (Lal-,Y,) Co5Hy have been performed at 77 K. The magnetizations of these compounds decrease with increasing hydrogen content (y) and are indepedent of Y-concentration (2). This result can be interpreted by an electron transfer effect in the direction H atom -+ Co atom. The pseudobinary intermetallic compound (Lal-,Y,) C05 have CaCu5 type structur...

The genetic defect leading to cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD) has been determined in a 12-yr-old patient. Lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) activity in cultured skin fibroblasts was reduced to approximately 9% of control fibroblasts. Plasma cholesterol (255 mg/dl) and LDL-cholesterol (215 mg/dl) were elevated whereas HDL-cholesterol was reduced (19 mg/dl). Triglycerides were moderately eleva...

We investigate the relationship between two polynomial time languages: Bellantoni and Cook’s functional combinator language BC, and Girard’s Light Linear Logic LAL (as amended by Asperti). It is known that both languages characterize exactly the polynomial time functions. Despite this similarity, an open question has been to provide a compositional translation between the two languages: given a...

conclusions the results showed that the extracted omvs were conformationally stable, and there were no pyrogenic determinants in omv. also the results showed that the omv elicited high level of specific antibodies against n. meningitidis serogroup a. these results indicate that the omv obtained here, can be used as a meningococcal vaccine after further investigation. materials and methods omvs ...

Lysosomal acid lipase deficiency (LAL-D), or cholesterol ester storage disease, is a rare inherited lipid metabolism disorder affecting the breakdown of esters and triglycerides within lysosomes. The case 9 year old patient with growth retardation hepatosplenomegaly had confirmed diagnosis LAL-D. initial response to recommended Sebelipase alfa enzyme replacement therapy in biweekly infusion reg...
