Aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁) is a DNA-binding toxin that contributes to the burden of liver cancer in tropical areas. AFB₁-DNA adducts are powerful biomarkers that discern individual and population risk from exposure to this carcinogen. The discovery of concordance between the metabolic pathways of the male Fischer rat and humans allowed data from rats to guide the development of chemoprevention strateg...

Aims: The present study was undertaken to evaluate whether a visual classification of anterior malar support using vector relationship is supported by cephalometric analysis and to assess the effects of face mask therapy on vector relationship and other cephalometric variables. Methods and Material: Pre-treatment profile photographs and lateral cephalograms of forty adult subjects (20 positive ...

Single copies of an approximately 65-70 residue domain are shown to be present in the sequences of 14 eukaryotic proteins, including yeast byr2, STE11, ste4, and STE50, which are essential participants in sexual differentiation. This domain, named SAM (sterile alpha motif), appears to participate in other developmental processes because it is also present in Drosophila polyhomeotic gene product...

With little known regarding sex and limb-heterogeneity, we investigated vascular reactivity and ischemic reperfusion in the upper and lower extremities of 15 healthy men (26 ± 2 years) and women (23 ± 1 years). Doppler ultrasound was used to evaluate ischemic reperfusion (IR) and flow-mediated dilation (FMD) following suprasystolic cuff occlusion in both the arm (brachial artery (BA)) and the l...

This study was conducted to determine the effects of beak trimming, stocking density (D) and sex (S) on live weight (LW), carcass yield and its component, and plasma glucose (PG) and triglyceride levels in Large White turkeys. To accomplish this aims, totally 288 d old large white turkey chicks (144 in each sex) were used. Beaks of 77 male and female poults were trimmed when 8 d old with an ele...

Family Planning Perspectives p a red with private households, become even more inflamed when the questions go into behaviors “beyond” intercourse. Another reason is the federal government’s reluctance to sponsor such cont roversial re s e a rch into the full range of noncoital behaviors among adolescents.* For example, the highly charged political debate in 1992 over federal financing of c o m ...

CONTEXT Electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities are common following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). It probably represents cardiovascular stress after SAH. AIMS The purpose of this study was to assess cortisol dynamics in relation to the ECG abnormality and disease course of SAH. SETTINGS AND DESIGN The study follows a consecutive cohort of aneurysmal SAH patients, who underwent surgery wi...
