Previous studies have shown that binding sites for fibrinogen on platelets stimulated with platelet-activating factor (PAF), adenosine diphosphate or epinephrine rapidly close in the absence of fibrinogen. In the present study we investigated whether a-thrombin induced similar changes in the glycoprotein (GP) IIB/IIIA-complex. Whereas 80% of binding sites exposed by PAF closed within 30 minutes...

METHODS A 2-year observational study of scrub typhus at a tertiary referral hospital in northern Vietnam was carried out. Diagnosis was based on a single serological test in patients with suggestive clinical symptoms. RESULTS Scrub typhus was diag...

Due to extended inundation, waterlogging and restricted below-ground aeration cause inhibition in plant growth performance. This study examined two different rubber clones, RRIM 600 RRIT 251, for below ground aeration. To evaluate the performance under stress conditions, net photosynthetic rate (PN), maximum quantum yield photosystem II (Fv/Fm) root elongation were observed. has a higher normal...

W opracowaniu wykorzystano fragmenty corocznych orędzi papieża Jana Pawła II na Światowy Dzień Środków Społecznego Przekazu zawierające w wersji włoskiej termin „libertà” (pol. „wolność”). Nawiązano do ciągle potrzebującej badań i upowszechniania ich wyników historii podejścia wolności, tym wolności komunikowania się. Przybliżono raczej mało znane orędzia. Wskazano przykład, z jaką częstotliwoś...
