BACKGROUND The deposition of tau protein in neurofibrillary tangles constitutes an important feature of many neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. A polymorphic gene, saitohin (STH), nested within the tau gene (microtubule associated protein tau, MAPT), was recently identified and an association of a non-synonymous polymorphism in STH with increased risk for Alzheimer's di...

The influence of highly purified pituitary adrenocorticotropic (ACTH) and growth (somatotropic, STH) hormones on resistance of normal, young adult rats infected with Pasteurella pestis organisms (EV 76) has been studied. The daily dosage of ACTH was 0.1 mg. (25 I.U per mg.) and that of STH was 1.0 mg. When these hormones were administered for 3 days prior to infection (1 LD(50)) and for 4 days ...

Let’s make it clear: STH is not old-fashioned, CSAVE is not Jurassic, and the stethoscope is not a piece that is missing from the museum. Being a vassal of sovereign clinics, the members of STH believe in the permanence of the stethoscope and in the strong integrating power of the starting point of CSAVE, with the other findings from the multisensorial physical examination, scientific concepts ...

The present study deals with the effect of high doses of STH and adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) in both intact and hypophysectomized rats. To counteract the infectionpromoting activity of ACTHthe animals were given antibiotics. From this experiment we hoped to clarify two points: (1) whether ACTH will produce hypertension and cardiorenal lesions in the intact rat, and (2) whether STH and/o...

In this work, a solar illumination model of the Earth’s atmosphere is developed. The developed allows us to determine with extreme accuracy how atmospheric varies during night hours on global scale. This time-dependent variation in causes series sudden changes entire Earth-atmosphere-ionosphere system considerable interest for various research sectors and applications related climate change, io...

Recently there have been calls for the eradication of malaria and the elimination of soil-transmitted helminths (STHs). Malaria and STHs overlap in distribution, and STH infections are associated with increased risk for malaria. Indeed, there is evidence that suggests that STH infection may facilitate malaria transmission. Malaria and STH coinfection may exacerbate anemia, especially in pregnan...

The stealth trading hypothesis (STH) states that informed traders concentrate their trades on medium sizes to conceal their information. Supporting empirical evidence for the NYSE case is considerable. In this paper, we question several methodological aspects of previous studies to provide new insights. We show that the STH cannot be rejected under alternative definitions of the trade-size cuto...

Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections affect an estimated 2 billion people world wide. Children experience the greatest morbidity, limiting their potential in academic and physical endeavors. Our study assessed the prevalence of STH infections in primary school-aged children in a rural village in the Nyanza Province of Kenya. Over two-thirds (68%) of the sampled population tested positive ...
