A vasopressin-sensitive mechanism within the medial preoptic area-anterior hypothalamus (MPOA-AH) appears to be essential for expression of a complex behavior involved in olfactory communication in Golden hamsters called flank marking. The present study investigated whether the induction of flank marking by arginine-vasopressin (AVP) within the MPOA-AH is mediated by a receptor that is more sim...

Proof. First suppose that a ∼H b, so that a = bk for some k ∈ H, and let ah (with h ∈ H) be an artibrary element of aH. Then we have ah = bkh = b(kh) ∈ bH, hence aH ⊆ bH. The proof of bH ⊆ aH is similar. Conversely, suppose that aH = bH. Since a ∈ aH = bH we have a = bk for some k ∈ H. Then a−1b = k−1 ∈ H, hence a ∼H b. (d) Prove that the map g 7→ ag is a bijection from H to aH. Proof. Consider...

PURPOSE To analyze the anatomic consequences of selective amygdalohippocampectomy (AH) in patients with hippocampal sclerosis and to correlate the clinical outcome with the MR appearance. METHODS Seventeen patients were examined with clinical and neuropsychologic examination and cranial MR after AH (7 transcortical AH, 10 trans-Sylvian AH). The clinical and neuropsychologic outcomes after AH ...

PURPOSE/BACKGROUND We aimed to describe changes in survival in alcoholic hepatitis (AH) over time by examining published data. METHODS A systematic literature search of Ovid Embase and PubMed was undertaken using the MESH terms 'hepatitis, alcoholic' to identify randomised controlled trials (RCT) and observational studies (OS) in alcoholic hepatitis. Data were extracted from included studies ...

To determine the frequency of atrioventricular conduction disturbances in aortic valve disease, 26 consecutive patients (age 54 +/- 2 years) with symptomatic aortic valve disease were studied by His bundle electrocardiography at the time of cardiac catheterisation and were compared with a group of patients who underwent cardiac catheterisation and were found to have coronary artery or mitral va...

The syndrome of enhanced atrioventricular nodal (AVN) conduction has been defined arbitrarily by: AH interval during normal sinus rhythm (AH-NSR) less than or equal to 60 msec; shortest right atrial pacing cycle length (PCL) maintaining 1:1 AVN conduction (shortest PCL 1:1) less than or equal to 300 msec; and at the shortest PCL 1:1, an increase in the AH interval from AH-NSR (delta AH) less th...

In this paper we will study the dynamics of a non-BPS Dp-brane in the background of N BPS Dk-branes.

Aryl hydrocarbon (benzo[a]pyrene) hydroxylase inducibility by benzo[a]anthracene was studied in 29 somatic cell hybrid clones, developed by fusing mouse spleen or peritoneal cells from four different inbred strains with hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase-deficient Chinese hamster E36 cells. Karyotype analysis plus 25 markers assigned to 16 autosomes and the X chromosome were examined. In 28...

Ascorbate (AH, the reduced form of vitamin C) is an important radical scavenger and antioxidant in human plasma; the resulting ascorbyl radical can disproportionate to AH and dehydroascorbic acid (DHA). Here we address potential maintenance mechanism(s) for extracellular AH by examining the ability of cells to convert extracellularly presented DHA to AH. DHA was rapidly transported into human l...
