In a prolific and illustrious career, the late Gary Becker (1930–2014) developed what he would later call "the economic approach to human behaviour". One of the most significant strands of that research was that which focused on human capital, occuping a significant part of his career, especially in his early years. In this paper we will focus on Becker’s early work in human capital up to the p...

QUESTION Is there a means of assessing research impact beyond citation analysis? SETTING The case study took place at the Washington University School of Medicine Becker Medical Library. METHOD This case study analyzed the research study process to identify indicators beyond citation count that demonstrate research impact. MAIN RESULTS The authors discovered a number of indicators that ca...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the most common and severe form of the childhood muscular dystrophies. The disease is typically diagnosed between 3 and 7 years of age and follows a predictable clinical course marked by progressive skeletal muscle weakness with loss of ambulation by 12 years of age. Death occurs in early adulthood secondary to respiratory or cardiac failure. Becker muscular dystr...

The genus Atrigalleria Becker, gen. n. with two new species: chlorogramma sp. n., from Ecuador and A. chlorographa Costa Rica are described.

Staphylococcus aureus expression of capsular polysaccharide type 5 (CP5) has been shown to be downregulated by CO(2). Here we show that CO(2) reduces CP5 expression at the transcriptional level and that CO(2) regulates CP8 expression depending on the genetic background of the strains. Growth in the presence of air supplemented with 5% CO(2) caused a significant decrease in CP8 expression in fou...

H E gene a in the flour moth Ephestia kuhniella is an eye color mutantT that is, its most obvious phenotypic effect consists in a reduction of the size and number of the pigment granules in the eyes. Pigmentation in other parts of the body is also reduced. Color mutants constitute a group of genes most appropriate for phenogenetic studies, since they seem to be relatively easily accessible to i...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy affects skeletal muscles and leads to progressive muscle weakness and risk of atypical anesthetic reactions following exposure to succinylcholine or halogenated agents. The aim of this report is to describe the investigation and diagnosis of a patient with Becker muscular dystrophy and review the care required in anesthesia. CASE RE...
