Males of the mutant strains (blind, vestigal-winged) of the Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), Ceratits capitata (Wiedmann) showed differences in behavior compared with control (mass-reared) males. Mutant males made fewer mating attempts and achieved fewer matings than control males. Vestigal-winged females copulated less frequently with both mutants. Blind males climbed rather than jumped onto ...

A polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-coupled ligase chain reaction (LCR) assay for the specific detection of Listeria monocytogenes (M. Wiedmann, J. Czajka, F. Barany, and C. A. Batt, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 58:3443-3447, 1992) has been modified for detection of the LCR products with a nonisotopic readout. When a chemiluminescent or a colorimetric substrate for the nonisotopic detection of the L...

Twin brothers and their maternal uncle with a previously undescribed neonatal progeroid syndrome are presented. In addition to progeroid features, they had pseudo-obstruction of the urinary and gastrointestinal tracts, severe leucocytosis, liver dysfunction, and low complex III and IV in muscle but not in liver. Previously described neonatal progeroid syndromes and syndromes featuring pseudo-ob...

Wiedemann Rautenstauch (WR) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive neonatal progeroid syndrome with only few published case reports. We describe a neonate showing clinical features of WR syndrome with peeling of skin, and presented with weak cry and breathing difficulty since birth.

a female one month old with features supporting a diagnosis of neonatal progeroid syndrome(wrs)  presented to our neonatology section of gb pant children hospital srinagar .she had prenatal and post natal growth failure, generalized lipotrophy, triangular face, psedohydrocephalous, sparse scalp hair and eye brows, prominent scalp veins and greatly widened anterior fontenella.

The rearrangement of 1-ethynyl-2-propenyl pivaloates to cyclopentenones catalyzed by cationic triphenylphosphinegold(I) complexes is described. The reaction tolerates both alkyl and aryl substitution at the acetylenic and olefinic positions. Importantly, the gold(I)-catalyzed rearrangement of enantioenriched propargyl pivaloates proceeds with excellent chirality transfer, thus providing a pract...
