BIOLOGICAL MARKERS IN FAMILY RESEARCH

The role of biological markers in epidemiological research: future directions.

The recent identification of new biological markers (biomarkers) has created unprecedented opportunities for molecular or biochemical epidemiologists in cancer mesearch. Laboratory measurements used with traditional methods of epidemiology have undisputedly added a new dimension to studies of causal associations. Although the technological arm of molecular on biochernicab epidemiology has grown...

Hematological and Biological Markers of Neonatal Sepsis

  Septicemia in neonates is the commonest cause of mortality. Early recognition and diagnosis of neonatal sepsis remains a challenge because of the variable and nonspecific clinical presentation. The laboratory criteria are often non specific and not fully reliable. The objective of this review is to highlight the various hematological and biological markers of neonatal sepsis. We searched ...

Biological markers in nasal secretions.

Biological markers in nasal secretions provide valuable information on nasal pathophysiology. However, published data on biomarker concentrations in nasal fluids are remarkably inconsistent, and the bias due to different sampling techniques, has not yet been systematically evaluated. Concentrations of various protein were repeatedly determined in nasal secretions of 16 healthy volunteers. The p...

A Comparative Study of Metaphorical Markers in Academic Research Articles

Although the use of metaphorical markers in corpora has been studied to a largeextent (e.g., Glucksberg & Keysar 1993; Skorczynska & Deignan, 2006; Sznjder,2005), no attempt to the best of the researchers' knowledge has been made todescribe metaphorical marking in a comparative analysis of 2 corpora in bothnational and international journals of applied linguistics in Iran. The gap envisagedhas ...
