`Rojo Pasión' Apricot

Gene Expression Analysis of Plum pox virus (Sharka) Susceptibility/Resistance in Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.).

RNA-Seq has proven to be a very powerful tool in the analysis of the Plum pox virus (PPV, sharka disease)/Prunus interaction. This technique is an important complementary tool to other means of studying genomics. In this work an analysis of gene expression of resistance/susceptibility to PPV in apricot is performed. RNA-Seq has been applied to analyse the gene expression changes induced by PPV ...

Are Apricot Kernels Toxic?

If future research shows that Laetrile has value, we can expect the consumption of apricot kernels to increase. Critics of Laetrile have asserted that apricot kernels are highly toxic. Case histories confirm that negative reactions to eating apricot kernels can take place, but such reports are rare, and we have only suggestive evidence concerning what doses cause adverse effects.

Results of the APRICOT Study

Background. Successful coronary thrombolysis involves a risk for reocclusion that cannot be prevented by invasive strategies. Therefore, we studied the effects of three antithrombotic regimens on the angiographic and clinical courses after successful thrombolysis. Methods and Results. Patients treated with intravenous thrombolytic therapy followed by intravenous heparin were eligible when a pat...

Lain Entralgo, Barcelona, Editorial Labor, 1982, 4to, pp. 311, illus., [no price stated], (paperback). Compared with other Continental countries, Spain produced very few outstanding medical scientists in the nineteenth century. It is, therefore, understandable, as well as right and proper, that Spa...
