تأثیر GVHD مزمن بر بقا بیماران لوسمی میلوئیدی حاد پس از پیوند سلولهای بنیادی خون محیطی از خواهر یا برادر با HLA مشابه بدون تخلیه سلول T
Background : Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is among major complications of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells transplantation, and also is an important factor affecting the outcome of transplantation. An increased incidence of GVHD has been suggested following allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) transplantation, however, how this affects survival is not yet well clear. In this stu...
متن کاملWhy do larger mothers produce larger offspring? A test of classic theory.
Across a wide range of taxa, larger mothers produce larger offspring. Theory assumes that larger, more fecund mothers create higher local densities of siblings, and so larger mothers produce larger offspring to offset sibling competition. This assumption has been debated for over 30 yr, but direct empirical tests are surprisingly rare. Here, we test two key assumptions of classic theories that ...

Sibling Size and Investment in Children's Education: An Asian Instrument This study consistently estimates the trade-off between child quantity and quality by exploiting exogenous variation in fertility due to son preferences. Under son preferences, childbearing and fertility timing are determined conditional on the first child's gender. For the sample of South Korean households I find strong e...
متن کاملAdaptive developmental plasticity in growing nestlings: sibling competition induces differential gape growth.
Sibling competition has been shown to affect overall growth rates in birds. However, growth consists on the coordinated development of a multitude of structures, and there is ample scope for developmental plasticity and trade-offs among these structures. We would expect that the growth of structures that are used in sibling competition, such as the gape of altricial nestlings, should be priorit...
