The major public health problem faced by psychiatry is the group of disorders that constitutes the diagnostic category of schizophrenia. These disorders affect approximately 1 percent of the population and most commonly have their onset in early adult life. More importantly, they usually leave the patient with varying degrees of cognitive, affective, and psychosocial impairment. This combinatio...

iron overload is known to occur in the west european and american population due to the consumption of iron-rich diets. on the other hand, genetic disorders leading to iron overload are also known. iron overload leads to increased peroxidation and disruptive disintegration of lipid-rich membranes, and predisposes humans for an enhanced risk of cancer induction. in experimental animals iron over...

K-region epoxides of dibenz(a,h)anthracene and benz(a)anthracene were more active in producing malignant transforma tion of hamster embryo cells than the corresponding hydrocarbons, K-regions CMand frans-dihydrodiols and phenols. The cytotoxicity exerted by epoxides, relative to the other derivatives, varied among those tested. The 8,9-epoxide (non-K-region) of benz(a)anthracene was less active...

background and aim: sinusoidal harmonic acceleration (sha) test is one of the most effective and best-tolerated methods to assess vestibular system function, especially horizontal semicircular canal in children. a prerequisite for using this test in children, is the availability of normative data. despite of the numerous studies related to the sha in adults, few researches have been documented ...

We analyzed the immune microenvironment in the neoplastic and stromal components of Stage I lung adenocarcinoma lesions, finding that a high ratio of tumor-infiltrating FOXP3+ regulatory T cells to CD3+ lymphocytes, an elevated expression of the interleukin-7 receptor, as well as a reduced expression of the interleukin-12 receptor β2 all constitute independent factors of poor prognosis.

The title compound, C(15)H(22)O(4), an eremophilane sesquiternoid, was isolated from the roots of Ligularia virgaurea. Both six-membered rings (A and B) adopt chair conformations and the five-membered ring is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.016 Å). The two methyl and two hy-droxy groups adopt a syn conformation and the A/B ring junction is cis-fused. An intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond g...

For example, CH the family of Hamming code is a family of codes with ni = 2 − 1, ki = 2 − i − 1, di = 3 and R(CH) = 1, δ(CH) = 0. We will mostly work with family of codes from now on. This is necessary as we will study the asymptotic behavior of algorithms for codes, which does not make sense for a fixed code. For example, when we say we say that a decoding algorithm for a code C takes O(n) tim...
