BACKGROUND Laser light is known to stimulate nerves. This study investigated alternative wavelengths for nerve stimulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sciatic nerves of rats were irradiated with four different lasers-a Ho:YAG (2100 nm), a Yb:glass fiber laser (1495 nm) and diode lasers (1450 nm and 1540 nm). RESULTS All lasers evoked a visible leg twitch response, and electromyography confir...

This article discusses responses to disease in Aberdeen during a formative period in the provision of healthcare within the city. The foundation of King's College was followed, in 1497, by the establishment of the first royally endowed university Chair of Medicine in the British Isles, and its first incumbent, James Cumming, was employed by the local government as the first city doctor in 1503....

Large-scale genetic analysis of the native inhabitants of Rapa Nui (Easter Island) reveals the expected combination of Polynesian ancestry with later European admixture, but also a contribution from Native Americans dating to 1280-1495 AD, demonstrating early trans-Pacific contact.

The CSL family protein CBF1 is a nuclear mediator of Notch signaling and has been predicted to contain an N-terminal nuclear localization signal in exon 4. Surprisingly, we found that CBF1 carrying mutations at codon 233 or 249 within exon 7 was restricted to the cytoplasm. In mammalian and yeast two-hybrid assays, these mutations were also associated with a loss of CBF1-mediated transcriptiona...
