The city of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, has sociodemographic characteristics similar to some African cities. Up to now, it has had the highest prevalence of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) infection (1.74%) in the country. To investigate which strains of HTLV-I are circulating in Salvador, we studied isolates from 82 patients infected with HTLV-I: 19 from the general population, 21...

In a recent paper (Basil, Sen and Sen Gupta, 1945) we have shown that groundnut meal affords a culture medium for the growth of various intestinal organisms when it is digested with some proteolytic enzyme. The hydrolysate when further admixed with a trace of liver extract gives still better results. The latter observation led us to work on the growth of other delicate organisms, and the experi...

A central aspect of pathogenesis in the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies or prion diseases is the conversion of normal protease-sensitive prion protein (PrP-sen) to the abnormal protease-resistant form, PrP-res. Here we identify porphyrins and phthalocyanines as inhibitors of PrP-res accumulation. The most potent of these tetrapyrroles had IC50 values of 0.5-1 microM in scrapie-infecte...

Inversio-ongelmien teoria on matematiikan ja sen sovellusten kirjossa edelleen varsin nuori tutkimusala. Yksittäisiä ongelmia on toki tutkittu kauan, ja ensimmäinen yhtenäinen osakokonaisuus lienee 1950-luvulla kehitetty Gel’fandin koulukunnan yksiulotteinen käänteinen sirontateoria. Muutaman vuosikymmenen hiljaiselon jälkeen myös moniulotteisissa inversio-ongelmissa saavutettiin läpimurtoja, j...
