Activation of a single incomplete P element induces recombination at a rate of approximately 0.5-1% in the male germline of Drosophila. Male recombination rises by an order of magnitude to approximately 20% if homologous P elements are involved. The high rate of recombination suggests the possibility that sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) might be elevated to a similar extent, since homologous P ...

AIM To assess the development and implementation of the Integrated Rapid Assessment and Treatment (IRAT) pathway for the management of patients with fecal incontinence and measure its impact on patients' care. METHODS Patients referred to the colorectal unit in our hospital for the management of faecal incontinence were randomised to either the Standard Care pathway or the newly developed IRA...

High-throughput gene profiling studies have been extensively conducted, searching for markers associated with cancer development and progression. In this study, we analyse cancer prognosis studies with right censored survival responses. With gene expression data, we adopt the weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to describe the interplay among genes. In network analysis, nodes r...

background coronary artery diseases (cad) are associated with psychological problems such as anxiety and depression in patients. thus, management of these problems can consider as an important intervention by health care workers, especially nurses. objectives the purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of patient-focused clinical pathway on anxiety, depression and satisfactio...
