Acute axonal polyneuropathy and Wernicke-Korsakoff encephalopathy developed simultaneously in three patients. Nerve conduction studies (NCS) detected markedly decreased compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs) and sensory nerve action potentials (SNAPs) with minimal conduction slowing; sympathetic skin responses (SSRs) were also notably decreased. Sural nerve biopsies showed only mild axonal d...

Accurate estimation of genetic relationships among breeding materials and their diversity contributes to the optimal design programs. For Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook.), an important indigenous tree species in China, breeders have attempted employ different molecular markers address architecture target population, but power advanced parent population with a complex pedigree...

Cross-species amplification of Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) loci is considered as a cost-effective approach for developing microsatellite markers for new species. We examined the transferability of eucalyptus SSR loci to the economically important members of the Casuarinaceae family. Ten primer pairs targeting (GA)n, (CTT)n, (TGA)n and (GAA)n motifs were screened in Allocasuarina littoralis, ...

In this paper, the genetic diversities of 12 rice genotypes (Oryza sativa L.), representing Indica, Japonica, and Indica–Japonica varieties, were assessed using twelve ISSR five SSR markers. addition, evaluated for 11 agro-morphological traits in a two-year trial. Association mapping was performed to detect any association between DNA markers traits. An analysis conducted considering relative k...

Many years of domestication and breeding have given rise to the wide range of chicken breeds that exist today; however, an increasing number of local chicken breeds are under threat of extinction. A comprehensive characterization of chicken markers (especially type I markers) is needed to monitor and conserve genetic diversity in this species. The explosion of genomics and functional genom...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether lifetime suicidal ideation with intention to act and/or suicidal behaviors reported at baseline predict risk of prospectively reporting suicidal behavior during subsequent study participation. METHOD Data from studies using the electronic Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (eC-SSRS) to prospectively monitor suicidal ideation and behaviors between September 20...

Despite several efforts in the last decade toward development of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers in peanut, there is still a need for more markers for conducting different genetic and breeding studies. With the effort of the International Peanut Genome Initiative, the availability of reference genome for both the diploid progenitors of cultivated peanut allowed us to identify 135,529 and 1...

The development of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) has provided a useful source for the mining of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. The hyacinth bean (Lablab purpureus L.) is one of the most ancient and important legume crops in the world, and is widely distributed in tropical and sub-tropical regions, but currently only limited molecular markers are available. The aim of the present study i...
