Popis prípadu 57-ročná štíhla žena bola niekoľko rokov liečená nepravidelne betablokátorom pre kolísavú hypertenziu a občasné palpitácie. V auguste 1998 po večernom tanci pocítila silné bolesti na hrudi so spontánnym ústupom do 30 minút. Na druhý deň ráno bola pre recidívu bolestí hospitalizovaná v najbližšej nemocnici pre akútny anteroextenzívny infarkt myokardu a liečená heparinom. V popise t...

The bovine MHC (BoLA) class II DRB3 alleles are associated with polyclonal expansion of lymphocytes caused by bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infection in cattle. To examine whether the DRB3*0902 allele, one of the resistance-associated alleles, is associated with the proviral load, we measured BLV proviral load of BLV-infected cattle and clarified their DRB3 alleles. Fifty-seven animals with DRB3*...

UV intensity near the AOS and OSF sites in northern Chile was measured with handheld UVA and UVB radiometers and was compared with that taken at Socorro AOC, Nobeyama, and Mitaka. Typical UVA opacity was about 0.4 at Pampa La Bola near the AOS site, about 0.6 both at San Pedro de Atacama near the OSF site and at Nobeyama, and about 0.7 at Mitaka (best conditions), respectively. The UVA intensit...

Five ionic bolaamphiphiles were synthesized and the aggregation behavior of bola single systems and bola/oppositely charged conventional surfactant mixed systems was studied. Small spherical vesicles were formed in all these mixed systems revealed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Variation of the structure of the hydrophobic chain of bolaamphiphiles has great influences on the vesicle...

Lipid aggregation into fluid bilayers is an essential process for sustaining life. Simplified models of lipid structure, which allow for long time scales or large length scales not obtainable with all-atom simulations, have recently been developed and show promise for describing lipid dynamics in biological systems. Here, we describe two simplified models, a reduced-lipid model and a bola-lipid...

The present study was conducted to study the diversity of MHC-DRB3 alleles in Indian cattle and buffalo breeds. Previously reported BoLA-DRB exon 2 alleles of Indian Zebu cattle, Bos taurus cattle, buffalo, sheep, and goats were analyzed for the identities and divergence among various allele sequences. Comparison of predicted amino acid residues of DRB3 exon 2 alleles with similar alleles from ...

Brazilian dairy Gir (Bos indicus) cattle are a tropical, well-adapted breed, for which no information on the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is presently available. The second exon of the bovine lymphocyte antigen (BoLA-DRB3) was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of DNA samples from 28 Brazilian dairy Gir cows. Two experimental genotyping approaches were used: direct sequencin...

Pojmom „burned-out tumour“ sa označuje zriedkavá klinická entita, ktorá sa prezentuje spontánnou a kompletnou regresiou testikulárneho nádoru bez predchádzajúcej liečby pri náleze metastáz v retroperitoneu, v mediastíne, v lymfatických uzlinách, v pľúcach alebo v pečeni. Opisujeme prípad 55-ročného pacienta s bolesťami v pravej driekovej oblasti, u ktorého bola CT vyšetrením zistená tumorózna m...

Štatistické spracovanie modelovej pevnosti pri razení prieskumnej štôlne Branisko. Počas razenia východnej časti prieskumnej štôlne Branisko bol na plnoprofilový raziaci stroj Wirth TBII-330-H/M inštalovaný monitorovací a optimalizačný systém WORS, vyvinutý na Ústave geotechniky SAV. Systém umožňoval výpočty v reálnom čase veličín ako špecifická energia rozpojovania a odporučený prítlak raziace...
