PHYSICIANS practising in Ireland will be surprised to find Ireland listed as a country subject to yellow fever in a comparatively recent publication. Carlos Finlay, ever to be remembered for his work on yellow fever, died in 1915, and in 1955 his medical school, Jefferson Medical College, held a commemorative conference on yellow fever. Doctor Pedro Nogueira (1955) reviewing the history and geo...

The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between cattle breeds and deposit of adipose tissues in different positions and the gene expressions of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), fatty acid synthase (FASN), and Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ACADM), which are associated with lipid metabolism and are valuable for understanding the physiology in fat depot an...

in this study, postharvest characteristics of eight cut rose cultivars (valentine, king pride, prima donna, black baccara, victory, papagayo, royal baccara and yellow island) were investigated in a growth room with temperature of 20 ºc, relative humidity of 50% and light intensity of 10 µmol m-2 s-1 in autumn 2008. among cultivars significant differences were found for all of the attributes eva...

Cells of the J774 mouse macrophage-like cell line possess organic anion transporter that transport fluorescent dyes such as Lucifer Yellow out of the cytoplasmic matrix of the cells; the dye is both sequestered in endosomes and secreted into the extracellular medium. Lucifer Yellow that is sequestered within endosomes is subsequently delivered to the lysosomal compartment. In the present studie...

Homologous chromosomes are paired in somatic cells of Drosophila melanogaster. This pairing can lead to transvection, which is a process by which the proximity of homologous genes can lead to a change in gene expression. At the yellow gene, transvection is the basis for several examples of intragenic complementation involving the enhancers of one allele acting in trans on the promoter of a pair...

INTRODUCTION The yellow nail syndrome is usually described as the combination of yellow nails with lymphoedema and often with respiratory manifestations such as pleural effusions, chronic sinusitis and bronchiectasis. The syndrome is most often seen in the middle-aged individuals. CASE PRESENTATION We present a 6-year-old girl with yellow nail syndrome having pansinusitis and bronchiectasis. ...

Twenty-two yellow tree monitors (Varanus bengalensis) were trapped and transported from 5 provinces, namely Lampang, Phitsanulok, Kamphaeng Phet, Tak and Prachin Buri to look for the infective larvae stage of Angiostrongylus cantonensis. In 4 provinces all of the yellow tree monitors were infected with the infective stage larvae of A. cantonensis altogether. Twenty-one of the 22 yellow tree mon...
