The classical triad of McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) consists of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (FD), skin hyperpigmentation (café-au-lait spots), and endocrine dysfunction, frequently seen in females as precocious puberty. Etiology is genetically based and is explained by mosaicism of activating somatic mutations of the alpha-subunit of Gs protein. Clinical presentation is varied and is depend...

Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is a rare feature of rheumatic disorders in children and adolescence and its presentation as the first symptom of rheumatic disorders is very infrequent. A 9-year-old girl, in whom MAS developed, was admitted to our Hospital in Tehran, Iran. She suffered from high grade fever and rash followed by multiple joint swelling months afterwards. Bone marrow aspira...

Introduction Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is a rare and life-threatening complication of Kawasaki Disease (KD) that is usually diagnosed at the same time or after KD. We report a case of MAS as the initial manifestation of KD. Case Report A previously healthy 3-year old girl was admitted to the pediatric infectious di...

Four new myoinhibitory peptides were isolated and identified from the ventral nerve cord of adult Manduca sexta. The new peptides are related to two previously identified myoinhibitory peptides also isolated from adult M. sexta, Mas-MIP I and Mas-MIP II. The sequences of the new peptides are APEKWAAFHGSWamide (Mas-MIP III), GWNDMSSAWamide (Mas-MIP IV), GWQDMSSAWamide (Mas-MIP V), and AWSALHGAWa...

Angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] is a biologically active heptapeptide that may counterbalance the physiological actions of angiotensin II (Ang II) within the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Here, we evaluated whether activation of the Mas receptor with the oral agonist, AVE 0991, would have renoprotective effects in a model of adriamycin (ADR)-induced nephropathy. We also evaluated whether the Ma...

BACKGROUND In genomic models that assign an individual variance to each marker, the contribution of one marker to the posterior distribution of the marker variance is only one degree of freedom (df), which introduces many variance parameters with only little information per variance parameter. A better alternative could be to form clusters of markers with similar effects where markers in a clus...

Malabsorption syndrome (MAS) is a multifactorial disease that causes intestinal disorders in broilers due to infection of the gastrointestinal tract with different infectious agents. The exact aetiology is unknown, although several viruses are isolated from MAS affected chickens. None of these isolated infectious agents alone inducted the malabsorption syndrome. MAS in broilers is characterised...

While current Semantic Web technologies are well-suited for data publication and integration, the design deployment of dynamic, autonomous long-lived multi-agent systems (MAS) on is still in its infancy. Following vision hypermedia MAS Linked Systems, we propose to use a value-passing fragment Milner’s Calculus formally specify generic hypermedia-driven behaviour Data agents as their embedding ...

Background: Fertility control is an issue of global and national public health concern. Though considerable progress has been made in the development of methods of contraception among females, progress and possibilities are still slow and limited. Therefore, there is a need to develop new contraceptive modalities for males. In this study the antifertility activities of Cornus mas were evaluated...
