This volume on. the theoretical principles of roentgen therapy, which is going to be followed by a second on the more clinical aspects of radiation therapy, bears the stamp of authority. Each section is written by an acknowledged leader in the particular field covered, the contributors being:?R. R. Newell, m.d., Professor of Medicine (Radiology), in the Stanford University Medical School, San F...

The Medtronic Mosaic valve (Medtronic, Inc, Minneapolis, Minn) is a third-generation stented porcine bioprosthesis combining physiologic fixation and a-amino-oleic acid antimineralization treatment to improve hemodynamic performance and durability. Despite encouraging short-term and midterm clinical results, however, there has been a heightened interest in the safety and efficacy of this device...

the diabetes is an autoimmune disease, in which the role of autoantibodies is of a specific importance. the appearance of these autoantibodies can be the first symptom in the serum of type i diabetic patients, which may appear ten years before onset of the disease. the most important autoantibodies include glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibodies (gad65-ab). this can be used as a good tool fo...

OBJECTIVE: Due to the increased prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in subjects with type 2 diabetes and also this fact that antibodies could potentially identify subjects at risk of thyroid dysfunction, this study was conducted to investigate thyroid autoimmunity in type 2 diabetic patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Among patients referred to Yazd Diabetes Research Center, 4000 type 2 diabetic pat...

Antibodies are essential tools of biomedical and biochemical researches. Polyclonal antibodies are produced against different epitopes of antigens. Purified F(ab')2 can be used for animal’s immunization to produce polyclonal antibodies. Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) was purified by ion exchange chromatography method. In all stages verification method of the purified antibodies was sod...

The state-selective photodissociation of methylnitrite CH30NO(So,v) + hv -+ CH30+ NO(t,r,v) is reviewed and the dynamics of the bond-breaking process is analysed in connection with an ab initio S1-potential energy surface of the parent molecule. Experimental and theoretical results reveal an interesting picture of the dissociation path of a polyatomic molecule which decays by vibrational predis...
