Carcinoma of the stomach is one of the major prevalent and principal causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Current advancement in technology has improved the understanding of the pathogenesis and pathology of gastric cancers (GC). But, high mortality rates, unfavorable prognosis and lack of clinical predictive biomarkers provide an impetus to investigate novel early diagnostic/prognostic m...

silver nanoparticles (nps) have been the subjects of researchers because of their unique properties ( e.g., size and shape depending optical, antimicrobial, and electrical properties). a variety of preparation techniques have been reported for the synthesis of silver nps; notable examples include, laser ablation, gamma irradiation, electron irradiation, chemical reduction, photochemical methods...

Endothelins are potent peptide vasoconstrictors which were discovered two decades back. Their role in cardiovascular diseases, cancer, glaucoma, diabetes mellitus and many other diseases have been studied. Inspite of a lot of research many questions regarding their pathophysiological roles still remain unanswered. Though many endothelin receptor antagonists showed promising results in animal st...

will be missed. Each author must do his best, and the editor, advised by his referees, must judge whether that best is good enough. If the editor decides to publish his readers can judge and comment, either privately or in the correspondence column of the journal, if prior claims have been overlooked. They frequently do. Alzheimer's disease: recent advances and future prospects Recent years hav...

disappearance of the intragenic regions during the process of transcription or shortly afterwards is that both the intragenic and expressed sequences are first transcribed into a precursor mRNA (HnRNA). After that the inserts are excised while the released coding regions are spliced to from the final active mRNA. Specific enzymes are responsible for this processes. According to speculations on ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility of achieving the target of 95% coverage for the childhood immunisation schedule by 1995 and to determine the influence of sociodemographic factors and information systems on recent trends. DESIGN Analyses of trends in quarterly vaccination data for diphtheria, pertussis, and measles in health districts between February 1988 and February 1991. SETTING Dist...

The ability to successfully introduce foreign genes into eukaryotic cells has made possible a new approach to the treatment of human disease. Gene therapy is now being brought to bear on genetic, malignant, and infectious diseases. In this review, we summarize the status of the field through an analysis of clinical protocols involving transfer of marker or therapeutic gene(s) into various somat...
