Clinical question " Is sunlight an effective treatment for jaundice in term infants? " A women's health educator at Southern Health wanted to know if there was any evidence that sunlight helps to reduce physiological jaundice in healthy term infants. The formulated search question followed a standard patients/interventions/comparisons/outcomes (PICO) format. Patients were term newborn infants w...

Research was conducted on Aloe vera, a traditional medicinal plant, to investigate the effects of light on growth, carbon allocation, and the concentrations of organic solutes, including soluble carbohydrates and aloin. The plants were vegetatively propagated and grown under three irradiances: full sunlight, partial (30% full sunlight), and deep shade (10% full sunlight) for 12-18 months. After...

Dear MMTC fellow members, Time flies, we are now moving into the end of year 2010 and some people are planning and shopping for the coming holiday seasons.

The deglycase and chaperone protein DJ-1 is pivotal for cellular oxidative stress responses and mitochondrial quality control. Mutations in PARK7, encoding DJ-1, are associated with early-onset familial Parkinson's disease and lead to pathological oxidative stress and/or disrupted protein degradation by the proteasome. The aim of this study was to gain insights into the pathogenic mechanisms of...

Introduction Conclusions References

Context. Astronomical research dealing with accurate radial velocity measurements need reliable astronomical standards to calibrate the spectrographs and to assess possible systematics. Stellar radial velocity standards offer a reference at the level of a few hundred m s−1 and are not adequate for most present needs. Aims. We aim to show that sunlight reflected by asteroids is a fairly accessib...
