Krx-20, a zinc finger protein, plays an essential role in hindbrain segmentation of vertebrates. Zebrafish gene frb35 encodes a novel zinc finger protein that shares a high homology with Krx-20. The expression domains of frb35 overlap those of krx-20. The expression of frb35 first occurs in the 3rd rhombomere primordium at the onset of segmentation, which is soon followed by expression in the 5...

Background: People who use home blood glucose monitors may use their mobile phones in the close vicinity of medical devices. This study is aimed at investigating the effect of the signal strength of 900 MHz GSM mobile phones on the accuracy of home blood glucose monitors.Methods: Sixty non-diabetic volunteer individuals aged 21 - 28 years participated in this study. Blood samples were analyzed ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We checked traditional and high-level precordial electrocardiogram (ECG) leads in patients who had undergone right ventricular outlet obstruction (RVOT) reconstruction surgery and evaluated the effect of ECG lead position on their QRS duration. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We enrolled 34 patients who had undergone surgery for congenital heart disease with RVOT obstruction an...

We present 2 cases of likely rare event. In case 1, 3rd degree consanguineous marriage revealed inv(6) with same break points in parents who were found to be phenotypically normal. The same inv(6) being inherited in progeny but presented with low AMH (anti Mullerian hormone) and high level of FSH (follicular stimulating hormone) leading to polycystic ovarian syndrome/premature ovarian failure. ...

The title of this book, Practical Flow Cytometry, may be somewhat misleading; a significant portion of the information presented is not essential to most investigators who utilize flow cytometry. The author's broad expertise in electronics, optics, histochemistry, and biology provides an excellent basis for discussion of the principles of flow cytometry and cell sorting; however, successful app...

Physiology, 3rd Edition is a classically good textbook. Lucid, well written, and easy to use, this edition makes a perfect companion to a physiology course. Designed on the principles of the 2nd edition to emphasize broad concepts of physiology, the 3rd edition has been revised to make the text as accurate, current and clear as possible. The section on renal, respiratory and central nervous sys...

This valuable new edition documents advances in Campylobacter spp. molecular biology, epidemiology, immunology, and food safety interventions over the past quarter century. It is an easy-to-read resource for both lay readers and scientists who are active in these research fi elds. The book contains 6 complementary sections. The fi rst section provides an overview of the taxonomy of Campylobacte...

The next section of the book discusses the physical aspects of ventilator types, control patterns, and the choice of particular modes for clinical situations. Of good use in this section is the discussion of common problems of various ventilator modes. Again the discussion is at a basic level, of use only to those gaining an introduction to the utilization of ventilators. The final section of t...
