New Insight into the Relation between Adiponectin and Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases. Insulin resistance is defined as a state that needs more insulin to get the biological effects achieved by a lower amount of insulin in the normal state. Several molecules which are secreted through adipocytes have been involved in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Adiponectin as a 244 amino acid protein is exclusively expressed...

New insight into superconductivity

NOVEMBER 2008 | VOLUME 11 | NUMBER 11 13 The physics of high-temperature cuprate superconductors in the overdoped regime, where superconductivity is suppressed, is something of a mystery. But first-principle calculations by researchers in the US and Switzerland appear to confirm a recent suggestion that ferromagnetism can destroy superconductivity at high doping levels [B. Barbiellini and T. Ja...

New Insight into Cycloidal Areas

1. INTRODUCTION. A cycloid is the path traced by a point on the boundary of a circular disk that rolls without slipping along a straight line. It forms a sequence of arches resting on the line, as shown in Figure 1. It is known that the area of the shaded region below one arch is three times the area of the rolling disk. Our analysis shows that the factor 3 reflects a much deeper property of cy...

A new insight into FEIA

Two cases of patients with food and exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FEIA) with confirmed allergies to oral allergy syndrome are herein presented. Patient A had food anaphylaxis to fresh coriander and tomato and Patient B to fresh celery. These food allergens have structural antigenic similarity to that of birch and/or grass. Both patients’ allergies were confirmed by fresh prick-to-prick tests. I...
