BACKGROUND The effects of weak magnetic and electromagnetic fields in biology have been intensively studied on animals, microorganisms and humans, but comparably less on plants. Perception mechanisms were attributed originally to ferrimagnetism, but later discoveries required additional explanations like the "radical pair mechanism" and the "Ion cyclotron resonance" (ICR), primarily considered ...

Activation of the RAS pathway has been implicated in oncogenesis and developmental disorders called RASopathies. Germline mutations in BRAF have been identified in 50-75% of patients with cardio-facio-cutaneous (CFC) syndrome, which is characterized by congenital heart defects, distinctive facial features, short stature and ectodermal abnormalities. We recently demonstrated that mice expressing...

INTRODUCTION Insulin pumps are able to deliver bolus insulin as a standard, extended or combination bolus. There is minimal research to determine which bolus is preferable in different settings. Anecdotally, many patients utilizes only the standard bolus (SB) due to uncertainty regarding when and how to program the different bolus types. We compared postprandial glycemia when five different ext...

Correlated responses to selection for rapid 3 to 6-wk postweaning gain in male mice were estimated for five fat depots weighed at specific degrees of maturity in body weight (37.5, 50.0, 62.5, 75, 87.5 and 100%). Fat pads measured were from regions of the subcutaneous hindlimb, subcutaneous forelimb, epididymides, mesentery and kidneys. At the same degree of maturity, selected mice (M16) were o...

OBJECTIVE This study was designed to develop predictive formulas for precise insulin dosing in young children with type 1 diabetes (T1DM). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Consecutive 1-year data from a group of 14 young patients (eight girls, six boys) 3.9 ± 0.8 years old with diabetes duration of 2.0 ± 0.8 years, transitioned from multiple daily injections (MDI) to continuous subcutaneous insuli...

The properties of thin films are often influenced by the crystal’s preferred orientation. In present study, we report strong dependence surface conductivity on orientation TiN film that acts as coating material for Ti bipolar plate. is successfully controlled along (111) or (200) planes adjusting N2 flow rate substrate temperature during deposition process via DC (direct current) reactive magne...
