The protease-resistant prion protein (PrP(res)) of a few natural scrapie isolates identified in sheep, reminiscent of the experimental isolate CH1641 derived from a British natural scrapie case, showed partial molecular similarities to ovine bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). Recent discovery of an atypical form of BSE in cattle, L-type BSE or BASE, suggests that also this form of BSE migh...

The homogeneous Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) of a (1/2)$^+$ bound system, that has both fermionic and bosonic degrees freedom, we call {\em mock nucleon}, is studied in Minkowski space, order to analyse the chiral limit covariant gauges. After adopting an interaction kernel built with one-particle exchange, $\chi$-BSE numerically solved by means Nakanishi integral representation light-front pr...

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide; and its incidence is increasing in many countries. Breast SelfExamination (BSE) is a simple and easy way to detect any changes in the breast and help in early detection of breast cancer, which is highly recommended in young age started from age of 20 years. The aim of the study is to determine breast cancer knowledge, and BSE practices...

BACKGROUND Breast cancer is a serious health problem. Early detection is crucial for optimal treatment and reducing mortality. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate health beliefs concerning performance of breast self- examination (BSE) and mammography in a sample of Iranian female health workers. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study was performed among 441 female heal...

BACKGROUND Atypical bovine spongiform encephalopathies (BSEs), classified as H-type and L-type BSE based on the Western immunoblot profiles, are naturally occurring diseases in cattle, which are phenotypically different to classical BSE. Transmission studies in cattle using the intracerebral route resulted in disease where the phenotypes were maintained irrespective of BSE type but clinically a...

Experimental transmission of the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) agent has been successfully reported in pigs inoculated via three simultaneous distinct routes (intracerebral, intraperitoneal and intravenous). Sheep derived BSE (Sh-BSE) is transmitted more efficiently than the original cattle-BSE isolate in a transgenic mouse model expressing porcine prion protein. However, the neuropath...

We present a benchmark study of gas phase geometry optimizations in the excited states carbon monoxide, acetone, acrolein, and methylenecyclopropene using many-body Green’s functions theory within GW approximation Bethe–Salpeter equation (BSE) employing numerical gradients. scrutinize influence several typical approximations GW-BSE framework; we used one-shot G0W0 or eigenvalue self-consistent ...

Molecular features of the proteinase K-resistant prion protein (PrP res) may discriminate among prion strains, and a specific signature could be found during infection by the infectious agent causing bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). To investigate the molecular basis of BSE adaptation and selection, we established a model of coinfection of mice by both BSE and a sheep scrapie strain (C50...

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease, caused by a prion, that mainly affects cattle. Other ruminants, cats, nonhuman primates and humans are occasionally affected; this disease is called feline spongiform encephalopathy (FSE) in cats, and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) in people. BSE is primarily acquired by eating prion-containing tissues from a...
