Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare genetic disease characterized by chromosome instability, progressive pancytopenia and cancer susceptibility. Telomeres are intimately related to chromosome stability and play an important role in organismal viability at the hematological level. Since previous works suggested an accelerated shortening of telomeres in FA, we have studied several markers of telomere i...

Formative assessment (FA) techniques, such as pre-class assignments, in-class activities, and post-class homework, have been shown to improve student learning. While many students find these techniques beneficial, some students may not understand how they support learning or may resist their implementation. Improving our understanding of FA buy-in has important implications, since buy-in can po...

Previously we have described a mutant Hfr strain in which incompatibility between the integrated F factor and an autonomous F-prime (F') factor was abolished. The mutation (inc) was located in the integrated F factor. F-prime factors isolated from the mutant Hfr strain have the same incompatibility behavior as those isolated from normal Hfr strains. Reintegration of these F' factors into the ch...

Social Media Platforms (SMPs) are highly interactive platforms where individuals and communities share, discuss collaborate ideas, information, videos, photos etc. to each other. In these have millions of online users which interact with other significantly affect other's behaviour, attitude, habit SMPs used many areas advertising, client relations, tourism, journey, others by means or organiza...

A 2-year old boy was diagnosed with Fanconi anemia (FA) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A cell line (termed FA-AML1) was established from blast cells obtained after a second relapse after a successful bone marrow transplant. Histochemical and surface marker analysis confirmed that the cells were derived from the myeloid lineage. Cytogenetic analysis revealed multiple chromosomal aberrations, ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Tract-based analysis can be used to investigate required tracts extracted from other fiber tracts. However, the fractional anisotropy (FA) threshold influences tractography analysis. The current study evaluated the influence of the FA threshold in measuring diffusion tensor parameters for tract-based analysis of the uncinate fasciculus in subjects with Alzheimer disease (...

Comparisons of latent constructs across groups are ubiquitous in behavioral research and, nowadays, often numerous involved. Measurement invariance the is imperative for valid comparisons and can be tested by multigroup factor analysis. Metric (invariant loadings) holds, whereas scalar intercepts) rarely supported many groups. Scalar a prerequisite comparing means, however. One may inspect grou...

The study discusses changes in lead contents soil and crops after application of compost fly ash. A three-year experiment was conducted on narrow-leaved lupine (Lupinus angustifolius L.), camelina (Camelina sativa L.) oat (Avena which were grown medium fertilised with or ash (FA). amounts various combinations evaluated using sequential (BCR analysis) single (DTPA solution) methods. total select...

This study is to clarify the prognostic value of preoperative plasma fibrinogen and serum albumin level, as known as FA score, in a cohort of Chinese patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). We retrospectively evaluated clinicopathological data on 169 patients who underwent surgery between 2006 and 2013. The FA score was calculated based on cutoff values of 3.53g/L for fib...

Background: the increasing use of mobile phones in daily life causes many concerns about their effects on human health. Therefore, this work was designed to study the effects of exposure to 1800 MHz electromagnetic waves (EMW) on the liver and intestine of male albino rats and the protective role of ferulic acid (FA) against these harmful effects. Materials and Methods: twenty-four male albino ...
