1 Comment on " Why is the DNA denaturation transition first order? " Recently, Kafri, Mukamel and Peliti (KMP) [1] extended the classical Poland-Scheraga (PS) model for the denaturation transition of DNA [2]. According to PS, the energetic binding of bases in the double helix competes with the entropic contribution of denatured loops, implying that the nature of the transition depends on the ex...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE Dyslipidemia is the most common factor leading to ischemic heart disease, which is one of the leading causes of death. The use of statins is the most important preventative measure of ischemic heart disease; however, their efficacy in patients in Poland is still too low. The purpose of this study was to evaluate regional differences in achieving treatment goals in tot...

This little book contains a surprisingly large number of good descriptions of experimental techniques, presented with enough theory to make them intelligible. The chapters deal with blood, the circulation, respiration, muscle, peripheral nerve, the physical basis of body heat exchanges, and electronics in physiology. The methods are all physical rather than chemical, and such topics as electro-...
