The distance d(va,vb) between two vertices of a simple connected graph G is the length shortest path va and vb. Vertices va,vb are considered to be resolved by vertex v if d(va,v)≠d(vb,v). An ordered set W={v1,v2,v3,…,vs}⊆V(G) said resolving for G, any va,vb∈V(G),∃vi∈W∋d(va,vi)≠d(vb,vi). representation with respect W denoted r(v|W) an s-vector(s-tuple) (d(v,v1),d(v,v2),d(v,v3),…,d(v,vs)). Using...

There are few reports describing stroke due to the acute occlusion of the vertebral artery (VA) origin successfully treated by endovascularily. The authors report a case of 78-year-old man suffering from stroke owing to acute VA origin occlusion associated with contralateral hypoplastic VA leading to basilar artery (BA) thrombosis. Cerebral angiography demonstrated that the right VA was occlude...

OBJECTIVE To determine the baseline predictors of visual acuity (VA) outcomes 1 year after treatment with ranibizumab or bevacizumab for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). DESIGN Cohort study within the Comparison of Age-related Macular Degeneration Treatments Trials (CATT). PARTICIPANTS A total of 1105 participants with neovascular AMD, baseline VA 20/25 to 20/320, and VA ...

Myosin-Va is an actin-based processive motor that conveys intracellular cargoes. Synaptic vesicles are one of the most important cargoes for myosin-Va, but the role of mammalian myosin-Va in secretion is less clear than for its yeast homologue, Myo2p. In the current studies, we show that myosin-Va on synaptic vesicles interacts with syntaxin-1A, a t-SNARE involved in exocytosis, at or above 0.3...

To investigate the role that myosin Va plays in axonal transport of organelles, myosin Va-associated organelle movements were monitored in living neurons using microinjected fluorescently labeled antibodies to myosin Va or expression of a green fluorescent protein-myosin Va tail construct. Myosin Va-associated organelles made rapid bi-directional movements in both normal and dilute-lethal (myos...

To investigate the effect of vitamin A and Zn supplementation on vitamin A status, haemoglobin level and defecation of children with persistent diarrhea, a total of 160 paediatric patients were randomly assigned to one of four intervention groups: daily supplementation of 1,500 IU VA for 14 days; daily Zn supplementation for 14 days; daily supplementation with both VA and Zn for 14 days; no sup...

OBJECTIVE To provide an overview of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) research activities, highlighting diabetes-related research. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Diabetes is an important component of the VA research portfolio. All four VA research services support aspects of diabetes research. VA diabetes research projects and funding were examined from 1998 to 2003. RESULTS VA scientist...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of oxidative injury in affecting foetal and placental weights in mice by exposing them to tobacco smoke with or without supplementation with antioxidants. METHODS The randomized control trial of pregnant mice at day one of gestation was conducted at Anatomy Department CPSP Regional Center Islamabad, from March 2005 to October 2005. The mice were divided into ...
