Oligomeric viral proteins: small in size, large in presence

Gastric MUC5AC and MUC6 are large oligomeric mucins that differ in size, glycosylation and tissue distribution.

Gastric MUC5AC and MUC6 mucins were studied using polyclonal antibodies. Immunohistochemistry showed MUC5AC to originate from the surface epithelium, whereas MUC6 was produced by the glands. Mucins from the surface epithelium or glands of corpus and antrum were purified using CsCl/4M guanidinium chloride density-gradient centrifugation. MUC5AC appeared as two distinct populations at 1.4 and 1.3...

Effect size – large, medium, and small

The overall purpose of the 'Statistical Points and Pitfalls' series is to help readers and researchers alike increase awareness of how to use statistics and why/how we fall into inappropriate choices or interpretations. We hope to help readers understand common misconceptions and give clear guidance on how to avoid common pitfalls by offering simple tips to improve your reporting of quantitativ...

Size Matters – Revealing Small Scale Structures in Large Datasets

The size of datasets generated in the medical imaging community is increasing faster than additional processing resources are made available. Even if we can surmount the hurdles in large data handling and processing, the amount of information encoded in these datasets is overwhelming. Therefore effective visualization techniques must allow a user to identify and focus on scientifically interest...

Study Health and Safety Workplace in Small and Medium Size Enterprises (HSW-SMEs) in Iran, 2015

Background: Today, the growth of major industries depends on their appropriate interaction with small and medium enterprises (SMEs). In Iran, SMEs have 49 or fewer employees. The present study was an attempt to present an overall view of the condition of professional health and safety in such industries in order to gain information regarding activities related to occupational health and safety....
