In the version of this article initially published, at the bottom of the left column on page 442, the number " 18 " was inadvertently replaced by " 8 " during the publication process. The correction is given below (marked in bold): Page 442, left column From: Score: <18=increased mortality ≥8=better candidate for TACE To: Score: <18=increased mortality ≥18=better candidate for TACE This is an O...

The nuclear Dbf2-related protein kinases 1 and 2 (NDR1/2) are closely-related AGC family kinases that are strongly conserved through evolution. In mammals, they are activated inter alia by phosphorylation of an hydrophobic domain threonine-residue [NDR1(Thr-444)/NDR2(Thr-442)] by an extrinsic protein kinase followed by autophosphorylation of a catalytic domain serine-residue [NDR1(Ser-281)/NDR2...

BACKGROUND The aim was to evaluate the applicability of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of primary rectal cancer in a training unit. METHODS A cohort analysis was undertaken of consecutive patients undergoing elective surgery for primary rectal cancer over a 7-year interval. Data on patient and operative details, and short-term clinicopathological outcomes were collected prospectively a...

This population-based prospective study was undertaken in Mahatma Gandhi Medical College to estimate the renal function in young healthy Indian adults. A young healthy heterogeneous Indian cohort comprising 978 individuals, predominantly medical students, was assessed by a detailed questionnaire, and variables such as height, weight, body mass index (BMI), birth weight, and blood pressure were ...

BACKGROUND The increase in remifentanil concentration during haemorrhagic shock and the difference between this effect and that for propofol are not fully understood. We investigated the influence of haemorrhage on the pseudo-steady-state remifentanil concentration in a porcine model and compared the changes with those for propofol. METHODS After infusion of remifentanil (0.5 µg kg⁻¹ min⁻¹) a...

The amount of actin and total protein per cell in normal rat kidney (NRK) cells in culture is initially high in very low density cultures, but rapidly decreases as the cells come into contact in higher density cultures. In a viral transformant of NRK (442), the level of actin and total protein does not change significantly from low to high density cultures. NRK cells, which are flattened agains...
