It has been well demonstrated the relationship between the infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPVs) genotypes and cervical cancer. In Northeastern Argentina a high incidence of this pathology has been described and therefore a high prevalence of HPV infection is expected. In order to identify HPV genotypes associated with malignant and pre-malignant cervical lesions present in the a...

The prevalence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in the general population of northern Taiwan is described. A total of 343 consecutive cervical swabs from women visiting the medical center for routine gynecologic care were included. Cervical cell cytology was examined by the Papanicolaou (Pap) test, and a PCR-based hybridization gene chip analysis was used to identify HPV genotypes. The HPV prevale...

We report on the photoconductive response of nanostructured sol-gel films in function of the silver nitrate concentration (ions and colloids). Silver colloids were obtained by spontaneous reduction process of Ag+ ions to Ag(0). 2-d hexagonal nanosructured sol-gel thin films were prepared by dip-coating method using the non-ionic diblock copolymer Brij58 to produce channels into the film, which ...

A tool to aid the study of audio transmission over heterogeneous networks Summary The first part of this report documents a study into the problems involved in establishing audio communication over heterogenous, and possibly lossy, networks like the Internet. In particular, it first provides a description of the problems involved in sending audio over networks. The report then goes on to descri...

CCK-58 differs from CCK-8 in patterns of expression of pancreatic secretion of fluid and amylase and gallbladder contraction. These differences have physiological relevance only if CCK-58 release is stimulated by nutrients entering the intestine and if CCK-58 circulates in sizeable amounts. In this study, we report that when radiolabeled CCK-58 is added to rat blood and plasma is formed, there ...
