Posttranslational modification of histones has emerged as a key regulatory signal in eukaryotic gene expression. Recent genetic and biochemical studies link H3-lysine 9 (H3-K9) methylation to HP1-mediated heterochromatin formation and gene silencing. However, the mechanisms that target and coordinate these activities to specific genes is poorly understood. Here we report that the KAP-1 corepres...

Introduction: Interventional angiography procedures are increasingly used today. These techniques require a long time of standing near the patient and x-ray tube which lead to increase the radiation-dose of the staff and interventionists. This may also, in turn, lead to the occurrence of radiation deterministic effects. Since a large number of interventional radiology were perf...

INTRODUCTION Improving healthcare providers' capacities of prevention and treatment of female genital mutilation (FGM) is important given the fact that 200 million women and girls globally are living with FGM. However, training programs are lacking and often not evaluated. Validated and standardized tools to assess providers' knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) regarding FGM are lacking. The...

results: most addict patients had a medium level of education. improvement in knowledge, attitude and practice (kap) of patients after intervention was observed as follows; decreasing kap in poor level (2.8% vs. 30.6%), (3% vs. 50%), (25% vs. 80.6%), respectively; also, increasing kap in fair level (7% vs. 55.6 %), (15% vs. 15%), (19% vs. 7%), respectively and increasing kap in satisfactory lev...
