OBJECTIVE To describe our surgical technique for, and results of, subtotal adrenalectomy for phaeochromocytoma in multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 2. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Teaching hospital, The Netherlands. SUBJECTS 6 patients (four women and 2 men, mean age 35 years, range 31-46) with MEN type 2 who presented between 1993 and 1996. INTERVENTIONS Cortical sparing a...

Only a few studies are available with appropriate data on the effects of non-aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) use in patients fatty liver disease. We performed retrospective study 1347 imaging that showed disease from 2016 through 2019. then determined change validated indices using Fibrosis-4 (FIB4) and NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS). Patient clinical information, including ...

The dilemma of aging and lack successors must be understood to improve the scale efficiency competitiveness China’s agriculture. This paper uses a survey 1347 farmers in Liaoning, Jiangsu, Jiangxi applies tobit probit models explore impact intergenerational inheritance on farmland management terms current willingness for expansion. results show that (1) an increased probability agriculture can ...

We juxtapose the effects of trade and technology on employment in U.S. local labor markets between 1990 and 2007. Labor markets whose initial industry composition exposes them to rising Chinese import competition experience significant falls in employment, particularly in manufacturing and among non-college workers. Labor markets susceptible to computerization due to specialization in routine t...

Antibodies specific for DNA:RNA hybrids were coated onto polystyrene test tubes and applied to hybridization assays involving DNA and RNA. Synthetic DNA probes complementary to 16S rRNA of Campylobacter were labeled with biotin and hybridized to ribosomal RNA directly in lysates of bacterial cells. After hybridization, DNA:RNA hybrids were captured with immobilized anti-DNA:RNA antibody, and th...

The start D’Souza,1 stated that the origins of the Periodic Health Examination (PHE) or screening occurred in a brothel in the papal state of Avignon in 1347, “when an abbess and a local surgeon, every Saturday, singly examined women ‘in the home’ and if any of them had contracted any illness by their whoring, they were separated from the rest and not allowed to prostitute themselves for fear t...

HIV-1 non-coding exon 3 can either be spliced to exons 4, 4a, 4b, 4c, and 5 to generate tat, rev, and nef mRNAs or remain unspliced to produce the 13a7 vpr mRNA. Here we show that serine- and arginine-rich proteins 55 and 75 (SRp55 and SRp75) inhibit splicing from the 5'-splice site of exon 3 thereby causing an accumulation of the partially unspliced 13a7 vpr mRNA. In contrast, serine- and argi...

BACKGROUND The prognostic significance of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the context of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) of cancer of unknown primary (CUP) origin is unclear. METHODS Patients treated for CUP at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre between 2001 and 2013 were stratified by p16 status and retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Of the 73 patients included, those with p16-...
