Auto-antibodies (aAbs) to thyroid peroxidase (TPO) interact with a restricted immunodominant region (IDR) divided into two overlapping regions A and B. Among the five major regions structuring the IDR/B, regions 210-225, 353-363, 549-563, 713-720 and 766-775, region 353-363 constitutes an important anchor point for the binding of TPO-specific aAbs in sera from Hashimoto's and Graves' patients. ...

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) seropositivity has been inconsistently associated with pancreatic cancer. We, therefore, investigated the association between H. pylori seropositivity and pancreatic cancer in a case-control study nested within Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention Study (ATBC) cohort of Finnish male smokers. Pancreatic cancer cases (n = 353) and control subjects (n =...

We show how one may expect a significant number of SZ detections in future Planck data without any of the typical assumptions needed in present component separation methods, such as about the power spectrum or the frequency dependence of any of the components, circular symmetry or a typical scale for the clusters. We reduce the background by subtracting an estimate of the point sources, dust an...

A discharge case record (ICD-10) based retrospective study for a calendar year was carried out in one of the biggest tertiary care hospitals of Delhi, India. Of 5856 adolescent admissions, 53.77% were males and 46.22% were females. The respective proportion of adolescent admission and death recorded was 7.5% and 5.2%. The average monthly adolescent admissions were 488 (range: 304-648), and 47% ...

The Curie temperature increases from an intrinsic value of 266 K to 353 when the biaxial tensile strain 2.3% is applied monolayer MnSe 2 magnetic substrate, but valley splitting MoTe remains as large 72 meV.
