To develop a Portuguese short form, the Eating Attitudes Test-40 (EAT-40) was administered to a community sample of 922 female students and to a clinical sample of 63 females suffering from an eating disorder. With the EAT responses of the community sample a factor analysis was performed and items with factor loadings > or = 0.30 were selected. Internal consistency was computed for both the ins...

background: recent advances in cancer treatment have resulted in an increased number of cancer survivors. fertility might be impaired by cancer itself or through gonadal damage as a consequence of radio-chemotherapy. damages to reproductive organs are seen in minimally upto 30% of cancer patients. the aim of the present study was evaluate the attitude of iranian oncologists toward fertility pre...

We report Zeeman infra-red spectroscopy of electronic-nuclear levels 5I8 →5I7 transitions Ho3+ in the C4v(F−) centre CaF2 with magnetic field along ⟨111⟩ direction crystal. Transitions to lowest 5I7 state, an isolated electronic doublet, and next group states, a pseudo-quadruplet consisting doublet two nearby singlets, exhibit strongly non-linear splittings intensity variations. Simulated spect...

Protein A chromatography is widely used as a capture step in monoclonal antibody (mAb) purification processes. Antibodies and Fc fusion proteins can be efficiently purified from the majority of other complex components in harvested cell culture fluid (HCCF). Protein A chromatography is also capable of removing modest levels of viruses and is often validated for viral clearance. Historical data ...

The membrane receptor for retinol-binding protein (RBP) has been solubilized from human placental brush-border membranes with octyl-beta-glucoside, Nonidet P-40 and CHAPS. A method, based on the preferential precipitation of 125I-RBP-receptor complex with poly(ethylene glycol) 8000, was developed in order to measure the RBP-binding activity in the detergent extracts. The receptor was fairly sta...

in the spring of 1995, i attended a session at the organization of American Historians conference at the Washington Hilton, which focused on the state of political history. When i walked toward the conference room i expected to find a small crowd, and one with little hope for the future. At the time, the political history field seemed bleak. senior practitioners, who, for at least two decades, ...

We compared the neurokinin 1 receptor (NK(1)R) antagonists aprepitant, CP-99994 [(2S,3S)-3-(2-methoxybenzylamino)-2-phenylpiperidine], and ZD6021 [3-cyano-N-((2S)-2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-[4-[2-(methyl-(S)-sulfinyl)phenyl]piperidino]butyl)-N-methyl]napthamide]] with respect to receptor interactions and duration of efficacy in vivo. In Ca(2+) mobilization assays (fluorometric imaging plate reade...
