problem exacerbated by mixed surrounds (4, 7)], in agreement with the behavior of a major class of cortical cells (10), as well as with psychophysical evidence for color/luminance interactions (I 1). All of this bears on Masland's dichotomy between the multiplexing (co-coding) and parallel channel approaches. Models that do not filter parvo cells do not account for the properties of cortical ce...

Arterial hypertension is the most prevalent controllable disease world-wide. Yet, we still need to further improve blood pressure control, deal with resistant hypertension, and we hope to reduce risk "beyond blood pressure." The number of candidate molecules aspiring for these aims is constantly declining. The new possible approaches to combat high blood pressure include neprilysin/neutral endo...

Three actinomycetes, designated strains VN05A0342, VN05A0351 and VN05A0415(T), were isolated from plant-litter samples collected in the north of Vietnam and examined in a polyphasic taxonomic study. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that these isolates were most closely related to the type strain of Kineosporia mikuniensis (98.5 % sequence similarity). Morphologi...

Abstract Introduction Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) is a rare disorder associated with several genetic mutations. Patients SMS experience circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, which may lead to significant behavioral concerns. A proposed etiology of sleep disturbances diurnal melatonin secretion. Treatment approaches aim at blocking the abnormal morning secretion and providing exogenous in even...
