Primêre voorkoming is ’n belangrike terrein vir mediese genetika en die geneticse raadgewer vertolk hierin ’n belangrike roi. Daar is egter spesifieke indikasies vir verwysing van persone na ’n genetiese raadgewer en sy span, ’n Belangrike ontwikkeling in primêre voorkoming van genetiese afwykings is die moontlikheid van voorgeboortediagnose, deur amniosentese, van veral chromosoom afwykings, n...

Internationalization has accelerated the speed of knowledge generation and innovation. Thus, companies increasingly need to pool and create new resources by engaging in alliances with various partners. However, high failure rates of strategic alliances imply that the degree of a company’s collaboration success is related to the level of its alliance capability. While ”alliance capability” has l...

From the leaves and branches Barnettia kerrii, two verbascoside derivatives (6"-O-acetylverbascoside and 4"'-O-acetylverbascoside), as well as two phenolic glycosides (khaephuosides A and B) were isolated together with 15 known compounds. The structural elucidations were based on analyses of spectroscopic data.

Explict examples of the AdS/CFT correspondence, where detailed calculations can be performed, are very useful in developing our understanding of the correspondence. A good example is the discovery of an infinite class of Sasaki-Einstein manifolds in [1, 2], each of which gives rise to a supersymmetric solution of type IIB string theory with an AdS5 factor. This discovery combined with the subse...

Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) is found in certain rural areas of the Balkans and affects at least 25,000 inhabitants. Of the many hypotheses on BEN, the Aristolochia hypothesis has recently gained ground substantiated by the investigations on aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN). On both clinical and morphological grounds, AAN is very similar to BEN. That exposure to aristolochic acid (AA) of...

Insect herbivores contend with various plant traits that are presumed to function as feeding deterrents. Paradoxically, some specialist insect herbivores might beneWt from some of these plant traits, for example by sequestering plant chemical defenses that herbivores then use as their own defense against natural enemies. Larvae of the butterXy species Battus philenor (L.) (Papilionidae) sequest...
