Cloned DNA from human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 was subjected to restriction enzyme analysis. A genome size of 7.8 +/- 0.1 kb was determined and restriction maps were prepared. Fragments of HPV 16 DNA were nick-translated and hybridized with fragments of HPV 6b DNA. The two genomes appeared to be colinear. The physical state of HPV 16 DNA in genital tumours was analysed. In each of six benig...

OBJECTIVE To determine the cost of formal and informal teaching specifically provided for interns and to determine how much of an intern's time is spent in these activities. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Costs of formal teaching for 2012 were obtained from the New South Wales Health Education and Training Institute (HETI) and costs of informal teaching by a survey of all interns in a rando...

It is well established t,hat in man plasma phosphatase is greatly increased in rickets and in some other bone diseases (l-6). A similar relationship has been found in various experimental animals, viz. chicks (7-9), sheep (lo), dogs (ll-13), and calves (14, 15). In rats, however, the reports hare been contradictory. Sure and coworkers (16) found no difference between rachitic and vitamin D-trea...

The masses of higher DðnLÞ and DsðnLÞ excitations are shown to decrease due to the string contribution, originating from the rotation of the QCD string itself: it lowers the masses by 45 MeV for L 1⁄4 2 (n 1⁄4 1) and by 65 MeV for L 1⁄4 3 (n 1⁄4 1). An additional decrease 100 MeV takes place if the current mass of the light (strange) quark is used in a relativistic model. For Dsð1D3Þ and Dsð2P1...

BACKGROUND Few prospective studies have examined the mortality of vegetarians. OBJECTIVE We present results on mortality among vegetarians and nonvegetarians in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC-Oxford). DESIGN We used a prospective study of men and women recruited throughout the United Kingdom in the 1990s. RESULTS Among 64,234 participants aged 20-89...

We conjecture that systematic trends in errors can help detect patterns in restaurant prices. For example, if errors correlate with geography, we may identify regions with higheror lower-than-expected prices. To test this for New York, we retrained our price range predictor using the entirety of New York as the test set, Philadelphia as the dev set, and the remaining cities as training data. We...

Swadlow, Harvey A., Yuliz Bereshpolova, Tatiana Bezdudnaya, Monica Cano, and Carl R. Stoelzel. A multi-channel, implantable microdrive system for use with sharp, ultra-fine “Reitboeck” microelectrodes. J Neurophysiol 93: 2959–2965, 2005. First published December 15, 2004; doi:10.1152/jn.01141.2004. Arrays of closely spaced quartz-insulated, platinum-tungsten microelectrodes are widely used to o...

It is important to elucidate the dietary factors contributing to the development of metabolic syndrome among middle-aged women to better prevent and manage the syndrome. The objective was to determine the relationship between dietary intake and metabolic syndrome in urban Babolian middle-aged women. Systematic random sampling was used to select 984 women 30-50 years of age from urban area of Ba...

BACKGROUND A preexisting rotator cuff tear may affect the draft status and career performance of National Football League (NFL) players. HYPOTHESIS Preexisting rotator cuff tears decrease a player's draft status, performance, and longevity in the NFL. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 3. METHODS Medical reports of prospective NFL players during the NFL Sco...
