Hippocrates (ca 460-370 BC) on nasal cancer.

The prevalence of cancer in antiquity is rather an unknown scientific field. Nevertheless, During the 5th century BC, Hippocrates and his followers, studied thoroughly this fatal disease and proposed surgical techniques and palliative drugs to confront and treat the malignant tumors caused by the black bile (the 4 humors theory). Inside Corpus Hippocraticum, nasal cancer was mentioned, alongsid...

Growth of CsI(Tl) crystals doped with Ca and Tm and investigation of its scintillation characteristics

In this work, the growth of CsI(Tl) crystals as gamma detector was performed using vertical Bridgman method with Ca and Tm co-dopants. For evaluation of the growth crystals, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence and thermoluminescence spectra as well as recorded gamma spectra were employed. In addition, the scintillation properties including energy resolution, scintillation decay time, abs...

Solution structures of chicken parvalbumin 3 in the Ca(2+)-free and Ca(2+)-bound states.

Birds express two β-parvalbumin isoforms, parvalbumin 3 and avian thymic hormone (ATH). Parvalbumin 3 from chicken (CPV3) is identical to rat β-parvalbumin (β-PV) at 75 of 108 residues. CPV3 displays intermediate Ca(2+) affinity--higher than that of rat β-parvalbumin, but lower than that of ATH. As in rat β-PV, the attenuation of affinity is associated primarily with the CD site (residues 41-70...
