Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are environmental contaminants that persist in environment and human tissues. Perinatal exposure to these endocrine disruptors causes cognitive deficits and learning disabilities in children. These effects may involve their ability to interfere with thyroid hormone (TH) action. We tested the hypothesis that developmental exposure to PCBs can concomitantly alter ...

The aim of the study was to determine the resistance patterns of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates recovered from patients with surgical wounds in hospitals and also to investigate their epidemiological relatedness using molecular typing techniques. Twenty Pseudomonas sp. isolated from surgical wounds were subjected to antibiotic susceptibility testing by disk diffusion, plasmid profile, SDS-PAGE...

We report the detection with the BeppoSAX Wide Field Cameras of a superburst from 4U 1254-690. The superburst is preceded by a normal type-I X-ray burst, has a decay time that is the longest of all eight superbursts detected so far and a peak luminosity that is the lowest. Like for the other seven superbursts, the origin is a well-known type-I X-ray burster with a persistent luminosity level cl...

recently, cho et al. [y. j. cho, r. saadati, s. h. wang, common xed point theorems on generalized distance in ordered cone metric spaces, comput. math. appl. 61 (2011) 1254-1260] dened the concept of the c-distance in a cone metric space and proved some xed point theorems on c-distance. in this paper, we prove some new xed point and common xed point theorems by using the distance in ordere...

Recently, Cho et al. [Y. J. Cho, R. Saadati, S. H. Wang, Common xed point theorems on generalized distance in ordered cone metric spaces, Comput. Math. Appl. 61 (2011) 1254-1260] dened the concept of the c-distance in a cone metric space and proved some xed point theorems on c-distance. In this paper, we prove some new xed point and common xed point theorems by using the distance in ordered con...

Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. Treatment with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has transformed outcomes. However, half melanoma patients do not derive benefit and many face toxicities. Patients that respond typically have immunologically “cold” tumors. We therefore sought to test a range widely-used topical treatments for their ability increase immunogenic properties mouse model...

We present a theoretical expression for the spin-echo decay rate, 1/T2G, in the quantum-critical regime of square lattice quantum antiferromagnets. Our results are in good agreement with recent experimental data by Imai et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 1254 (1993)] for La2CuO4. Typeset using REVTEX
