background antioxidant compounds have been shown to slow down the development of chemically induced tumors. it has been estimated that most of human cancer cases are due to environmental factors and would be preventable if the main risks could be identified. the potential of vitamin e as a cancer preventive agent has been studied and individuals whose intake of vitamin e was above average showe...

In the centrosymmetric tetra-nuclear title compound, [Cu(4)I(4)(C(10)H(8)N(2)S(2))(2)], there are two different Cu(I) atoms with tetra-hedral coordination geometries. One is chelated by a pyridine N atom and an S-donor from one di-2-pyridyl disulfide ligand and coordinated by two I atoms, while the second Cu(I) atom is coordinated by a pyridine-N and three I atoms. Iodine bridges between the Cu...

microdeletion syndromes are contiguous gene deletion syndromes of less than 5 megabases.  most often, many of these syndromes are not detectable by  routine chromosomal analysis and require more specific testing techniques such as fish or more accurate general coverage like array comparative genomic hybridization.  as many of these syndromes are phenotypically recognizable and allow for easy cl...

3-(2-furanyl)-2-propenoic acid has been used to prepare a new series of organotin complexes of general formula r3snl (r=me, et, n-bu, ph and cy) and r2snl2 (r=me and n-bu). these complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, ir, 1h-nmr, mass and mössbaure spectroscopy.
