Unstirred suspensions of erythrocytes form stable spherical aggregates of uniform size. The radius of the spheres depends upon the suspending medium and the hematocrit. Erythrocyte suspensions will undergo sedimentation only after these aggregates are formed. Aggregation is a two-step process: first, erythrocytes associate in long chains (rouleau formation). Next, these chains form spheres of u...

PURPOSE Chronic inflammation induces cancer and cancer induces local tissue damage with systemic inflammation. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the potential relationship between the severity of inflammation and prognosis in cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study enrolled 220 patients from January 2002 to December 2006 who underwent gastric surgery. We evaluated t...

Many protein and mRNA species occur at low molecular counts within cells, and hence are subject to large stochastic fluctuations in copy numbers over time. Development of computationally tractable frameworks for modelling stochastic fluctuations in population counts is essential to understand how noise at the cellular level affects biological function and phenotype. We show that stochastic hybr...

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a clonal proliferation of plasma cells invading the bone marrow and secreting monoclonal immunoglobulin. In order to study epidemiological biological biochemical characteristics MM, we carried out retrospective work on cohort 50 cases collected at Avicenna Military Hospital in Marrakesh, during period 5 years (from January 2013 December 2017). Our included 32 men (64%) ...

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and chest CT imaging of patients with confirmed COVID-19 (COVID-19) suspected COVID-19. Methods: The study time span was from February 2020 to May 2020. case samples were selected 72 covid-19 diagnosed treated by First People’s Hospital Yinchuan Temporary Emergency Hospital, including 38 34 covid-19. All underwent laboratory examination examina...

Cultivation of the erythrocytic stages of Plasmodium parasites, specifically the most important and deadly for humans, Plasmodium falciparum, has required a lot of effort and time in order to develop a continuous in vitro culture. Moreover, the development of methods to synchronize P. falciparum parasites (which grow asynchronously in vitro) has become an essential tool in research to study dif...

An electron microscopical and biochemical examination of the properties of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPN) and of its ribonucleic acid (RNA) was made. The buoyant density of IPN in CsCl was found to be 1.33 g/cm(3). Electron microscopical examination of the banded virus revealed structures similar in size (74 nm) and shape to reoviruses but lacking a characteristic inner capsid struc...
