Breast cancer (BC) is a leading cause of cancer-associated mortality in females worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs), a type of non-coding RNA, have been reported to be important in the regulation of BC onset and progression. Several studies have implicated the role of miR-183 and miR-494 in different types of cancer. However, the biological functions of these miRNAs in BC remain largely unkno...

2014 The role of interplanar fluctuations associated with « parallel » vortex loops is considered in the two coupled problems of XY magnetism and superconductivity of the second kind, in a quasitwodimensional situation. Using an admittedly simplified criterion, it is argued that, for weak interplanar couplings, the critical 3d temperature is related to the multiplication of such loops ; it shou...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy of afterloading brachytherapy following radical neck dissection (RND) in the management of extensive cervical lymph node disease in nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy; and to examine prospectively prognostic factors and the pathologic behavior of neck disease. PATIENTS Twenty-seven patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who had extensive cervical l...

The belief that Homo sapiens is absolutely dimorphic with the respect to sex chromosome composition, gonadal structure, hormone levels, and the structure of the internal genital duct systems and external genitalia, derives from the platonic ideal that for each sex there is a single, universally correct developmental pathway and outcome. We surveyed the medical literature from 1955 to the presen...

In many cases of callosal dysgenesis in both human patients and mouse models, misguided fibers from the cortex form abnormal bilateral, barrel-shaped structures known as Probst bundles. Because little is known about how axons are arranged within these anomalous fiber bundles, understanding this arrangement may provide structural and molecular insights into how axons behave when they are misguid...

Abstract Background Many older people throughout their lives will require nursing care, consequentially most nurses care for during career. It is important that and student are provided with shared learning opportunities so professional caring partnerships can be nurtured realised mutual benefit. Intergenerational projects offer intergenerational learning. However, few explore nurse-older perso...

the objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of dietary l-arginine on performance, meat production and its chemical composition, carcass fat deposition, intestine morphology and blood parameters of ross broiler chickens during 46 days. in this experiment, 192 day old commercial female ross broiler chicks were used with 4 dietary treatments and 4 replications in a completely...
