The genetic diversity of 33 Nigerian Helicobacter pylori isolates were studied using RAPD, PCR-RFLP and Southern blot analysis of ureA or ureCD gene probes. RAPD was able to distinguish the following number of isolates using the primers 3880: 5'-AAGAGCCCGT-3' (28), 3881 :5'-AACGCGCAAC-3' (33) and OPH8 :5'-GAAACACCCC-3' (25). Southern blot analysis using the ureCD probe was also able to distingu...

In this pilot study, we assessed wheelchair durability and its effect on user satisfaction. Specifically, we examined the characteristics of the participants' wheelchairs, the types of maintenance and repairs completed, and whether the participants' satisfaction was affected by problems with their wheelchairs. A convenience sample of 130 participants who used wheelchairs as their primary means ...

The aim of this experiment was to investigate the impact of levels of processing (Independent Variable) on our memory (Dependent Variable). We hypothesized to find that a deeper level of processing lead to a better memory and in turn, greater recall. The experiment controlled variables such as environmental conditions, age of the target population and educational background of the participants....

BACKGROUND The construct of alexithymia implies a deficit in symbolization for emotional, somatic, and mental states. However, the etiologic factors for alexithymia have not yet been fully elucidated. The present study investigated the use of mentalizing language, i.e. the utterance of internal states, from a developmental perspective according to attachment organization and disorganization. ...

The nature of gluonium states is reviewed. QCD is tested in the J/JI region obtaining guidelines for its applicability to the gluonium question. These guidelines along with other current theoretical models are used with new experimental results to examine the nature of the 1(1440) and 8(1640) mesons.

BACKGROUND For the purpose of providing excellent patient care, residents need to be strong, effective leaders. The lack of clinical leadership is alarming given the detrimental effects on patient safety. The objective of the study was to assess whether a leadership training addressing transactional and transformational leadership enhances leadership skills in residents. METHODS A volunteer s...

Research on the early development of fundamental cognitive and language capacities has focused almost exclusively on infants from middle-class families, excluding children living in poverty who may experience less cognitive stimulation in the first years of life. Ignoring such differences limits our ability to discover the potentially powerful contributions of environmental support to the ontog...
