BACKGROUND Recent studies have suggested that inflammation may play an important role in aging and the development of disabilities, but knowledge about its importance in the development of muscle weakness and functional disabilities in very old people is limited. This study examined associations between inflammatory markers and physical performance among nonagenarians. METHODS The population-...

We discuss nucleosynthesis within 6 M models with Z = 0:02, 0:008 and 0:004. The emphasis is on the AGB phase of evolution, with particular reference to thermal pulses and Hot Bottom Burning. We nd strong CN cycling, with substantial Al production, especially at low metallicities.

The complete genome sequence ofSalmonella entericaserovar Typhimurium strain SO2, isolated from an asymptomatic child in Mexico, was determined using PacBio single-molecule real-time technology. Strain SO2 has six complete chromosomal prophages, namely, ST104, Gifsy-2, ST64B, Gifsy-1, ELPhiS, and FSL SP-004, and carries aSalmonellavirulence plasmid.
