In this paper, I explore the relationship between individual rights and duties within Afro-communitarian discourse in African political philosophy. The notion of is prominent modern philosophy, which usually used to refer tension community Afro-communitarianism. specifically focus on question: Can Afro-communitarianism ground a plausible conception that will be benefit societies? discuss two ap...

A 35-year-old man presented with acute, severe anal pain following a bowel action. His stool had been slightly loose but there had been no rectal bleeding. He was otherwise quite well and had no history of haemorrhoids, anal fissure or other perianal disease. He had eaten chicken curry 36 hours previously. Rectal examination revealed a fixed, bone-like object impacted transversely across the an...

There are many experiments in which it would be useful to treat a part of the surface or interior of a cell with a biochemical reagent. It is difficult, however, to achieve subcellular specificity, because small molecules diffuse distances equal to the extent of the cell in seconds. This paper demonstrates experimentally, and analyzes theoretically, the use of multiple laminar fluid streams in ...

Parasitic helminth infection remains a global health problem, whilst the ability of worms to manipulate and dampen the host immune system is attracting interest in the fields of allergy and autoimmunity. Much progress has been made in the last two years in determining the cells and cytokines involved in induction of Type 2 immunity, which is generally protective against helminth infection. Inna...

Multi-protein DNA replication complexes called replisomes perform the essential process of copying cellular genetic information prior to cell division. Under ideal conditions, replisomes dissociate only after the entire genome has been duplicated. However, DNA replication rarely occurs without interruptions that can dislodge replisomes from DNA. Such events produce incompletely replicated chrom...

Our aim was to determine if the detection rate of infection of total hip replacements could be improved by examining the removed prostheses. Immediate transfer of prostheses to an anaerobic atmosphere, followed by mild ultrasonication to dislodge adherent bacteria, resulted in the culture of quantifiable numbers of bacteria, from 26 of the 120 implants examined. The same bacterial species were ...

Maintenance of the individual patterns of gene expression in different cell types is required for the differentiation and development of multicellular organisms. Expression of many genes is controlled by Polycomb (PcG) and Trithorax (TrxG) group proteins that act through association with chromatin. PcG/TrxG are assembled on the DNA sequences termed PREs (Polycomb Response Elements), the activit...

The sampling tube, an open-ended polyethylene feeding catheter sterilised by the manufacturer, is filled with sterile distilled water. A 2.0% suspension of agar in distilled water is prepared and enough cochineal to colour the solution is added. This is autoclaved at 44N/10 min to dissolve and sterilise the agar. When the solution has cooled to 60°C an 8 cm length of the coloured agar solution ...
