The new conjugated organometallic polymer (-spacer-C[triple bond]C-Pt(PBu3)2-C[triple bond]C-)n (3; spacer = para-bis(diphenyl(tetramethyl)quinone diimine) and the cyclic mononuclear model complex, spacer'-C[triple bond]C-Pt(PEt3)2-C[triple bond]C x CuCl (4; spacer' = ortho-diphenyl-2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-benzoquinone diimine) were synthesized from the 1:1 condensation of the corresponding die...

Objective: Fragile X syndrome is the second etiology for inherited mental retardation. It may concomitant with other psychiatric disorders. Intellectual disability (ID) is a state of functioning that typically begins in childhood and is characterized by limitations in intelligence and adaptive skills. We intend to introduce a male young patient with Fragile X syndrome and Obsessive-Compulsive d...

The triple A or Allgrove's syndrome (MIM*231550) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by the triad of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) resistant adrenal insufficiency, achalasia and alacrima. Since its first description by Allgrove et al. (1978) more than 70 cases from all over the world have been reported. The syndrome manifests itself during the first decade of life with severe h...

In the study of functions of two variables f(x, y) defined over a region in the plane, the double integral has two interpretations: the signed volume between the graph of z = f(x, y) and the xy-plane or the total mass of a lamina with density determined by the function f(x, y). In the case of a function of three variables f(x, y, z), the graph w = f(x, y, z) is a subset of four-dimensional spac...

BACKGROUND The triple test serum markers for Down's syndrome screening may be altered because of various conditions other than chromosomal trisomies. OBJECTIVES To assess the profile of mid-trimester triple test serum markers in a cohort of women treated with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) for thrombophilia since the first trimester. METHODS Women with inherited or acquired thrombophil...

BACKGROUND/AIMS A 33-year-old man was referred for the first time to the Division of Neurology because of the presence and progression of neurological symptoms. Dysphagia, weakness, reduced tear production, and nasal speech were present. In order to point the attention of late-onset triple A syndrome we describe this case and review the literature. METHODS Hormonal and biochemical evaluation,...

Hydrolyses of HC[triple bond]CSO3SiMe3 (1) and CH3C[triple bond]CSO3SiMe3(2) lead to the formation of acetylenic sulfonic acids HC[triple bond]CSO3H.2.33H2O (3)and CH3C[triple bond]CSO3H.1.88H2O (4). These acids were reacted with guanidinium carbonate to yield [+C(NH2)3][HC[triple bond]CSO3] (5) and [+C(NH2)3][CH3C[triple bond]CSO3] (6). Compounds 1-6 were characterized by spectroscopic methods...

PURPOSE Bladder pain syndrome is a chronic disease that manifests as bladder pain, frequency, nocturia, and urgency. Gabapentin, amitriptyline, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are efficacious treatments for bladder pain syndrome. Here, we assessed the effect of triple therapy with these drugs in women with bladder pain syndrome. METHODS Between May 2007 and May 2010, we conducted a p...
