The impact of pill organizers on pill taking was determined in the Trial of Antioxidant Vitamins C and E (TRACE) Study, a factorial trial of vitamin C and vitamin E supplementation in 184 individuals. Participants were recruited in 1996–1997 and randomized to one of two groups (pill organizer or no organizer) and to one of four supplement groups for 2 months. The pill count (observed/expected X...

OBJECTIVE Blister-like aneurysms are small hemispherical bulges that usually originate from the anteromedial wall of the distal internal carotid artery and cause significant subarachnoid hemorrhage. It is very important to recognize this novel lesion as a different type of aneurysm than ordinary berry aneurysms. CASE DESCRIPTION We report the case of a 43-year-old man who underwent a diagnost...

The O-GlcNAc transferase Eogt modifies EGF repeats in proteins that transit the secretory pathway, including Dumpy and Notch. In this paper, we show that the Notch ligands Delta and Serrate are also substrates of Eogt, that mutation of a putative UDP-GlcNAc binding DXD motif greatly reduces enzyme activity, and that Eogt and the cytoplasmic O-GlcNAc transferase Ogt have distinct substrates in D...

background: the main object of this experimental work was to practise laboratory production both adult and the larval stage of hymenolepis diminuta with conventional modification to make further studies easier. materials & method: adults h. diminuta were collected from urban rats in tehran, iran. the beetles became infected using blended gravid segments with flour as bait. cysticercoids have be...

The Getty Conservation Institute and the J. Paul Getty Museum have been studying the use of low oxygen atmospheres using nitrogen for pest eradication. Earlier work by Nieves Valentin and Frank Preusser found that a 30-hour exposure to an atmosphere of 0.5% oxygen and 99.5% nitrogen killed all life stages of the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) [1]. In a collaborative project at the Universi...
