objective: approximately three-fourths of women experience an episode of vaginal candidiasis. candida albicans(c. albicans) is the etiological agent in over 80% of cases. c. albicans has numerous virulence factors such as the agglutinin-like sequence (als) genes which code the large glycoprotein family that has a role in the adherence of candida. the present study aims to evaluate expressions ...

Although the issue has not yet been fully resolved, there is reason to believe that TRI-I may have a trophic effect on the normal motoneuron and may transien­ tly improve the neurologic deficit in ALS. Since ALS is not a simple TRI-I deficiency disease, this improvement probably occurs via a secondary mecha -nism-possibly another neurotransmitter. It is uncertain at this time whether this effec...

background: as a disease of motor nervous system (motor neuron  disease), amyotrophic  lateral  sclerosis (als)  has  a great  impact  on  several  aspects  of  quality  of  life (qol). generic questionnaires of qol do not address all the especial features  of als and  therefore  translation  and  validation of disease specific questionnaires such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis assessment  qu...

es ist mehr als 100 jahre, das auf der welt die gewinnung von eisen und stahl auf basis von roheisenerzeugung im hochofen erfolgt, in letzten jahren sind die moglischkeiten zum eisengewinnung mit reduzierenden gasen auf verschiedenen verfahren untersucht und zum teil breits in halbtechnischen versuchsanlagen erprobt. in dieser arbeit wird em uberblick auf samtlichen eisengewinnungsver, fahren s...

BACKGROUND Mutations in optineurin have recently been linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). OBJECTIVE To determine whether optineurin-positive skeinlike inclusions are a common pathologic feature in ALS, including SOD1 -linked ALS. DESIGN Clinical case series. SETTING Academic referral center. SUBJECTS We analyzed spinal cord sections from 46 clinically and pathologically diagn...

BACKGROUND It has reached a consensus that patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) could display cognitive impairment characterized by executive dysfunction or even dementia, but cognitive spectrum of Chinese patients with ALS still waits to be documented. METHODS A total of 106 incident patients with sporadic ALS were enrolled and comprehensive neuropsychological tests covering mem...

Most amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients show focal onset of upper and lower motor neuron signs and spread of symptoms to other regions or the other side clinically. Progression patterns of sporadic ALS are unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pattern of respiratory deterioration in sporadic ALS according to the onset site by using respiratory function tests. Study partic...
