The emergence of the so-called “European Paradox” shows that increasing Governmental R&D Investment is far from being a ‘panacea’ for stagnant growth. Surprisingly, Governmental R&D Employment does not contribute to ‘mass-market’ employment, despite its important role in reducing YouthUnemployment. Despite the negative side-effect of Governmental R&D Employment on economic growth, University R&...

PURPOSE To identify patterns of enhancement in the internal auditory canal (IAC) on MR studies after removal of an acoustic neuroma, including changes in those patterns with time; to evaluate signal and enhancement of the labyrinth; to differentiate normal postoperative findings from those suggesting residual tumor; and to describe MR hallmarks of surgical approaches. METHODS We reviewed the ...

Bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] is a perennial grass and has been long used as a medicinal herb in Iranian traditional medicine to treat varied ailments. Different parts of bermudagrass such as leaves, stolons, rhizomes and culms are rich sources of metabolites such as proteins, carbohydrates, mineral constituents, β-sitosterol, flavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides and triterpenoides. G...

background imaging plays a critical role not only in the detection, but also in the characterization of lung masses as benign or malignant. objectives to determine the diagnostic accuracy of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (mri) in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant lung masses. patients and methods ninety-four masses were included in this prospective study. five dynamic seri...

Beef liver agar (Stafseth, Mich. State Univ. Agr. Expt. Sta. Tech. Bull. No. 49, part 2, 1920) inoculated with large numbers of brucellae is one of the most satisfactory media for obtaining rapid and abundant surface growth. Certain aerobic strains of this genus fail to grow on liver agar plates when the surfaces are inoculated with 103 or fewer live cells. Attempts (Polding, Med. Res. Council ...

dcotide sequence reported by Lochrie et al. (24) differs in many respects from the sequence reported by Tanabe et al. (25), Medynski at al. (26) or Yatsunami and Khorana (27). The differences in nudeotide sequences of a-transducin cDNA's may be due to differences between bovine strains (24). Alternatively, the species of ot-transducin cDNA described by Lochrie et al. may be expressed in cones, ...

Interest in the Reiter strain of Treponema pallidum, a nonpathogenic, cultivatable, anaerobic spirochete, has been stimulated by the demonstration that the organism possesses four antigens; one, a thermolabile protein, being group specific for treponemes (D'Alessandro et al., 1949). This antigen has recently been employed in a Reiter protein complement fixation test for syphilis (Cannefax and G...

A graft-versus-host reaction was induced in (BALB/c x C5 7BL/6)F(1) mice by intravenous injection of BALB/c spleen cells. Six days later, the mice received subcutaneous grafts of a chemically induced BALB/c sarcoma. The growth of the tumor grafts was accelerated.

Previous studies have demonstrated that interleukin-1 (IL-1) stimulates fibroblast growth (Schmidt, J. A., S. B. Mizel, D. Cohn, and I. Green. 1982. J. Immunol. 128:2177-2182) and binds to specific, high affinity receptors of BALB/c3T3 cells (Bird, T. A., and J. Saklatval. 1986. Nature (Lond.). 324:263-265, 266-268). We have investigated the mechanism of fibroblast growth stimulation by IL-1. A...
