the response to stat epi IM, number of delayed SRs, the dose of epi IM versus BMI and the World Allergy Organization (WAO) Grade (1-5) of the SRs. Methods: SRs were compiled from 07/2010 to 06/2011 to P and ID tests for any combination of approximately 20 allergens (pollens, animal emanations, molds and Hymenoptera) in 1,332 subjects. Nurses administered stat epi IM (1:1000 v/v), 0.2 mg IM, int...

Hyperostosis of the sphenoid ridge or convexity of the skull associated with meningioma en plaque (MEP) is often confused with other hyperostosing conditions, such as fibrous dysplasia or osteoma. The authors present nine cases, six of them proven, of hyperostosing MEP with specific attention to the CT features. All nine cases had one or more CT features that were characteristic or suggestive o...

The ability to overexpress full-length huntingtin or large fragments represents an important challenge to mimic Huntington's pathology and reproduce all stages of the disease in a time frame compatible with rodent life span. In the present study, tetracycline-regulated lentiviral vectors leading to high expression levels were used to accelerate the pathological process. Rats were simultaneously...

OBJECTIVE To examine the attitudes of US patients about the use of placebo treatments in medical care. DESIGN One time telephone surveys. SETTING Northern California. PARTICIPANTS 853 members of Kaiser Permanente Northern California, aged 18-75, who had been seen by a primary care provider for a chronic health problem at least once in the prior six months. RESULTS The response rate was ...

Proteinase/antiproteinase imbalance is the most widely accepted theory for development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Mutations of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) that downregulate its activity may increase the activities of matrix metalloproteinases and result in the degradation of the lung matrix. Polymorphisms of the TIMP-2 gene were investigated in 88 COP...

Alphoid satellite DNA is a family of sequences with an approximately 170 bp periodicity which is found near the centromere of all human chromosomes. The structure of the human Y-chromosome alphoid DNA has been studied in two somatic cell hybrids, 3E7 and 853 (Tyler-Smith & Brown, 1987). The 170 bp alphoid subunits are tandemly repeated and are organized into units approximately 5.7 kb long. A f...

Strain 853-15A(T) was enriched and isolated from uranium-contaminated aquifer sediment by its ability to grow under anaerobic conditions via the oxidation of lactate coupled to the reduction of anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS) to anthrahydroquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AHQDS). Lactate was oxidized incompletely to acetate and carbon dioxide according to the reaction CH3CHOHCOO(-)+ 2AQDS+H2O --> ...
