the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of basic swimming skills training on gross motor skills in male autistic children (7-11 years old). for this purpose, 20 autistic children (mean + sd age: 10.3±1.05 yr and bmi: 18.9±1.76 kg/m2) were randomly divided into two groups of experimental and control (each group 10 subjects). the training protocol of the experimental group was impleme...

Correct interactions with extracellular matrix are essential to human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) to maintain their pluripotent self-renewal capacity during in vitro culture. hPSCs secrete laminin 511/521, one of the most important functional basement membrane components, and they can be maintained on human laminin 511 and 521 in defined culture conditions. However, large-scale production of ...

It is a standard urological teaching that an intratesticu Jar mass is cancerous until proved otherwise and in 93% of cases. it is true1. Benign testicular tumours are rare and represent only 1-3.5% of all testicular growths and ofthesetrue cysts of the testis are the least common. Clinically these masses may be difficult to differentiate from a more ominous solid neop lasm. We report a case of ...

AIMS To investigate the effect of Notch2 and Notch3 on cell proliferation and apoptosis of two trophoblast cell lines, BeWo and JAR. METHODS Notch2 and Notch3 expression in BeWo and JAR cells was upregulated or downregulated using lentivirus-mediated overexpression or RNA interference. The effect of Notch2 and Notch3 on cell proliferation was assessed by the CCK-8 assay. The effect of Notch2 ...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a new analysis method of mfVEP objective perimetry in the early detection of glaucomatous visual field defects compared to the gold standard technique. METHODS AND PATIENTS Three groups were tested in this study; normal controls (38 eyes), glaucoma patients (36 eyes), and glaucoma suspect patients (38 eyes). All subjects ...

Empirical evidence suggests infants can make inferences about uncertain future events using probabilistic data (Denison & Xu, 2010; Teglas et al., 2007). However, it is unclear if infants are using information about proportions to make these decisions. Infants were presented with population jars that contained large distributions of objects, and were tasked with deciding which of the two jars w...

Copying the whole of a library is one of the major types of reuse in software development. In Java, a single library archive file often contains other libraries it depends on, but users of the library hardly know about such inner libraries. Since reusing libraries is a black-box method, developers may combine some libraries without knowing that those libraries contain the same library inside in...

Growth of anaerobic bacteria in the AnaeroPack (Mitsubishi Gas Chemical America, Inc., New York, N.Y.) anaerobic atmosphere generation systems, both the AnaeroPack jar and pouch and the AnaeroPack in a GasPak jar were considered equivalent to or better than growth obtained in the corresponding GasPak jar or pouch system (Becton Dickinson Microbiology Systems, Cockeysville, Md.) for 89 (86%) of ...
