Etiology and Evaluation of Sperm Chromatin Anomalies

Evidence suggests that human sperm chromatin anomalies adversely affect reproductive outcomes and infertile men possess substantially amount of sperm with chromatin anomalies than fertile men. Routine semen analysis evaluates parameters such as sperm motility and morphology, but does not examine the nuclear DNA integrity of spermatozoa. It has been suggested that altered nuclear chromatin struc...

Reading Brandom Reading Heidegger

While brilliance and originality surely top the list of qualities shared by Brandom and Heidegger, another commonality is a tendency to treat their predecessors as partial and sometimes confused versions of themselves. Heidegger, therefore, could hardly be indignant on principle if Brandom finds a fair bit of Making it Explicit in the first division of Being and Time. Nevertheless, some details...

Reading and reading disturbance.

Recent functional neuroimaging studies are generating novel insights into our knowledge of skilled and disturbed reading. In neurologically normal subjects, a double dissociation in neural activation in response to reading words and pseudowords has been revealed that corresponds to that observed in the comparison of semantic and phonological tasks. In patients with acquired dyslexia, functional...

THE EFFECT OF MECHLOROETHAMIN ON RECONSTITUTED CHROMATIN

In this study the effect of a methylated derivative of nitrogen mustard (mechloroethamin) on solubilized and reconstituted chromatin was investigated using UVNis spectroscopy, DNA and SDS gel electrophoresis and densitomeoic scanning techniques, The results indicated that the 210 and 260 nm absorbances of reconstituted chromatin were decreased in a dose-dependent manner after treatment wit...
