The 3.3-Å cryo-EM structure of the 860-Å-diameter isometric mutant bacteriophage T4 capsid has been determined. WT T4 has a prolate capsid characterized by triangulation numbers (T numbers) Tend = 13 for end caps and Tmid = 20 for midsection. A mutation in the major capsid protein, gp23, produced T=13 icosahedral capsids. The capsid is stabilized by 660 copies of the outer capsid protein, Soc, ...

Background/aim: This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) levels on intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and to determine the appropriate PEEP level during steep Trendelenburg position combined with pneumoperitoneum.Materials and methods: Ten pigs were included in this study. Pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg posit...

PURPOSE To report on whole body positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) screening for metastasis at diagnosis of primary uveal melanoma. METHODS Since August 2003, 333 consecutive patients were diagnosed with uveal melanoma and underwent whole body screening for metastatic disease with PET/CT along with liver function tests and physical examination. Abnormal findings prompte...

The experiment was conducted at the Central Research Farm (CRF), SHUATS, Naini, Prayagraj during Rabi 2022. Seven treatments were evaluated against, Leucinodes orbonalis i.e., Emamectin benzoate 5% SG @ 0.4ml/lit (T1) (14.34), Neem oil 5ml/lit (T2) (20.71), Spinosad 45% SC 0.5ml/lit (T3) (12.97), Chlorantraniliprole 20% (T4) (9.98), Beauveria bassiana 2gm/lit (T5) (17.04), Indoxacarb 14.5% (T6)...

We study constructions and classifications of three-generation models based on magnetized $T^4$ $T^4/{Z}_2$ orbifold as candidates the compact space. focus chiral fermion zero-mode wave functions in extra dimensions. Freedoms constant gauge fields, called Scherk-Schwarz phases are taken into account. Infinite number yielded, corresponding to ways which magnetic flux can be turned on. classify t...

OBJECTIVE To determine a levothyroxine (T4) dose recommendation for the treatment of autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT)-induced hypothyroidism. METHODS T4 doses in 75 children and adolescents with newly diagnosed AIT were prospectively collected and compared to T4 doses of patients with congenital hypothyroidism (CH, n=22). RESULTS Sixty-four patients with AIT and 22 patients with CH were include...

Serum free thyroxin (FT4) was determined in 40 patients with various nonthyroidal illnesses. We studied seven methods: (1) a free thyroxin index calculated from total T4 and triiodothyronine resin uptake; (2) a free T4 index determined by enzyme inhibitor assays (Abbott's "Tetrazyme" and "Thyrozyme"); (3) a free T4 index calculated from total T4 and thyroxin-binding globulin; (4) free T4 by equ...

Excessive bias and imprecision are major analytical problems associated with some assays for free and total thyroxine (T4). Bias in free T4 methods is largely proportional to variations in serum T4 binding. In direct methods, this is attributable to requirements for substantial quantities of protein-bound T4 to replace analytical losses of free T4. In some total T4 methods, bias is inversely pr...

Sawdust (SD) usually sourced from rubber plant is commonly used as substrate to cultivate the grey oyster mushroom Pleurotus sajor-caju in Malaysia. However, market price of SD increasing because its declining availability. Thus, this study aimed discover an alternative mushroom. The raw materials were oil palm pressed fiber (PPF), rice straw (RS) and SD, either alone or combination with differ...
