Analysis of DNA from 852 Island Melanesians has revealed a high frequency of single- and triple-gamma-globin genes in this population. Homozygotes for triple- and single-gamma genes have normal hematologic findings, normal hemoglobin F (HbF) levels, and when there is coexisting alpha thalassemia, appropriate levels of Bart's Hb (gamma 4) at birth. In addition, we have identified an individual w...

The Arabidopsis thaliana somatic embryogenesis receptor kinases (SERKs) consist of five members, SERK1 to SERK5, of the leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase subfamily II (LRR-RLK II). SERK3 was named BRI1-Associated Receptor Kinase 1 (BAK1) due to its direct interaction with the brassinosteroid (BR) receptor BRI1 in vivo, while SERK4 has also been designated as BAK1-Like 1 (BKK1) for its fu...

background treatment of helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) as a major cause of gastric diseases is of utmost concern.we aimed to assess efficacy of triple therapy (amoxicillin, clarithromycin and pantoprazole) plus probiotic yogurt (py) on eradication of h.pylori. methods total 102 h. pylori positive patients were divided to 3 groups equally and randomly. for treatment of each group amoxicillin, c...

hapax legomenon (pl. hapax legomena; sometimes abbreviated to hapax, pl. hapaxes), is a word that occurs only once within a context, either in the written record of an entire language, in the works of an author, or in a single text. the related terms, dis legomenon, tris legomenon, and tetrakis legomenon respectively refer to double, triple, or quadruple occurrences, but are far less commonly u...

helicobacter pylori infection is one of the most common human infections which have been associated with many upper gasterointestinal complications. different treatment regimens for helicobacter pylori eradication have been used. one of these regimes is the quadruple therapy regimen which metronidazole is one of the medications. in recent years several reports on h. pylori resistance to this an...
