A PROCEDURE FOR DETECTING CARRIERS OF GALACTOSEMIA

A Procedure for Detecting Carriers of Galactosemia.

Fluorometric screening procedure for galactosemia utilizing the autoanalyzer.

A screeningprocedure is described which can be used to separate the great majority of normal personsfrom those with a lack of the enzyme galactose transferase. The method is designed to be used on dried blood spot eluates which remain after a phenylalanine determination has been performed. The optimum conditions for this test are described, and data are presented from a preliminary study of mor...

Run of Homozygosity a Procedure to Detecting Inbreeding in Farm Animals

Inbreeding depression is a harmful phenomenon in livestock which is outcome of inbreeding. Inbreeding is consequence mating between two individuals who are more related to each other than average relatedness in population, which results in reducing in fitness of progenies and genetic variability in populations. Development of high-density genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array f...

Quantitative Bacterial Micro-Assay for Rapid Diagnosis of Galactosemia: Application in Galactosemia Neonatal Screening

In the present study a new economic and rapid bacterial micro-assay for simultaneous detection and quantitative measurement of serum galactose was developed. Analysis of the standard curve showed a linearity range for galactose from 2 mg/dL to 180 mg/dL with a regression equation of Y = 0.013X ? 0.083; R² = 0.962. The advantage of the method is its ability to measure serum galactose quantitativ...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
