1162 ALTHOUGH CHANGES IN DREAMING DURING PREGNANCY ARE RELATIVELY WELL STUDIED,1-4 THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH THE POSTPARTUM STATE ARE NOT. We have observed informally that many new mothers describe acting out vivid disturbing nightmares about their new infants. A typical episode, which we dubbed the baby-in-bed (BIB) nightmare pattern, involves a dream that the infant has been lost in the mother’s ...

Background: Data on a link between HCV or HBV infection and the development of cardiovascular disease among HIV-negative and HIV-positive individuals are conflicting. We sought to investigate the association between HBV or HCV infection and myocardial infarction in HIVinfected individuals. Methods: The prospective observational database of the D:A:D collaboration of 11 cohorts of HIV-infected i...

INTRODUCTION There is conflicting data on long-term CD4 immune recovery after combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) in resource-limited settings. Virologic suppression is rarely documented in cohorts from sub-Saharan Africa so objective evidence of adherence is biologically unsubstantiated. We sought to investigate long-term patterns of immune recovery in Ugandan patients on ART with sustain...

Lipid rafts are regions of the plasma membrane that are enriched in cholesterol, glycosphingolipids and acylated proteins, and which have been proposed as sites for the proteolytic processing of the Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein (APP). Lipid rafts can be isolated on the basis of their insolubility in Triton X-100 at 4 degrees C, with the resulting low-density, detergent-insoluble glycol...

For example, biomedical research on the carcinogenity of synthetic fuels mixtures is primarily sponsored by the DOE and conducted through its national laboratories, which are viewed by some groups as proponents of synthetic fuel development. Although the technology for producing liquid fuels from coal was first demonstrated by Germany during the 1920's, coal lique-faction is still in an early s...

Depressed mothers use less of the exaggerated prosody that is typical of infant-directed (ID) speech than do nondepressed mothers. We investigated the consequences of this reduced perceptual salience in ID speech for infant learning. Infants of nondepressed mothers readily learned that their mothers' speech signaled a face, whereas infants of depressed mothers failed to learn that their mothers...

Plaintiff instituted an action under the Federal Employers' Liability Act,' alleging that defendant was negligent in that it "should have known of the [defective mechanism and] . . . failed to make proper repairs." 2 The plaintiff at no time explicitly mentioned the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur; the defendant limited its defense to the question of damages. The district court instructed the jur...
