BACKGROUND   The Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes Section of Neurology (UEMS SEN)/European Board of Neurology (EBN) examination was launched in 2009 to set standards in knowledge and skills for the next generation of European neurologists. METHODS   Stimulated by the low participation at the first examination, we conducted a survey amongst 76 junior colleagues to assess awareness, m...

Following the report of the presence of nitrosamine-like substances in samples of homemade spirit from Zambia, which had been obtained from an area where cancer of the oesophagus is common, samples of distilled alcoholic drinks were collected throughout western Kenya and southern Uganda from areas where the frequency of cancer of the oesophagus varies from very common to very rare. The 44 sampl...

Altered glycosylation of proteins in cancer cells is one of the main processes responsible for anaplasia, invasion and metastatic potential of neoplastic cells. Lectins are nonimmunogenetic compounds which specifically detect certain terminal sugars of glycoconjugates. The aim of the present study was to identify the N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNac) containing glycoconjugates in cancer cells in a...

M iddleware for event broker networks (EBNs) both alleviates the issues related to underlying platform heterogeneity and provides a uniform application interface. A common service interface that such middleware provides is publish–subscribe,1 a paradigm in which producers publish information and consumers subscribe to it. In EBNs, information of interest is encapsulated in events; on such netwo...

Understanding how recurrent neural circuits can learn to implement dynamical systems is a fundamental challenge in neuroscience. The credit assignment problem, i.e. determining the local contribution of each synapse to the network’s global output error, is a major obstacle in deriving biologically plausible local learning rules. Moreover, spiking recurrent networks implementing such tasks shoul...

OBJECTIVES To determine the causes and risk factors of infant mortality. METHODS The population-based case-control study in 2011 comprised infants under one-year-old who had died at Ali-ebn-Abitaleb Hospital in Zahedan, Iran, during 2011 who were taken as the case group, while infants selected randomly through multistage sampling from various health centres formed the control group. Data were...

Highly conserved EB1 family proteins bind to the growing ends of microtubules, recruit multiple cargo proteins, and are critical for making dynamic microtubules in vivo. However, it is unclear how these master regulators of microtubule plus ends promote microtubule dynamics. In this paper, we identify a novel EB1 cargo protein, Sentin. Sentin depletion in Drosophila melanogaster S2 cells, simil...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the biodiversity ofplant associations in On Ebn-e-Ali Mountain in Tabriz and its relationship to various biodiversity indices. Four plant associations including 1) Noaea mucronata- Poetum bulbosa, 2) Noaea mucronata- Brometum tomentellus, 3) related to bush form as well as Poeto bulbosa-Brometum tomentellus and4) Brometo ...
