In 1998, one of the largest determinations of organochlorine pesticides in a representative sample of a Spanish population (682 serum samples from the Canary Islands) was made in the context of the "Canary Islands Nutrition Survey" (ENCA). In the Canary Islands, extensive farming areas have been developed in these last decades, with greenhouses dedicated to intensive cultivation using DDT in hu...

as soon as the belly slips out completely, an elongated palpable swelling appears in the muscle which quickly disappears. In other skeletal muscles the sign may be elicited by tapping the belly of the muscle with a patellar hammer when nodular tumour-like swelling appears at the site of tapping. I have come to believe that myoidema and myotatic irritability have a common significance and both o...

One of the fundamental mechanisms for detonation initiation is deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT). This research experimentally explores runaway condition highly turbulent fast flames before DDT, which are characterized by extremely high flame speeds. Such experience increased effects compressibility and may develop a acceleration combined with pressure buildup that leads to turbulence...

The epsilon class glutathione-S-transferase of Anopheles gambiae, agGSTe2, is capable of metabolizing DDT. A molecular docking analysis of DDT with agGSTe2 support an E2 elimination mechanism wherein the glutathione sulfur serves as the base to convert DDT to DDE.

background: anopheles mosquitoes are an important group of arthropods due to their role in transmission of ma­laria. the present study was conducted for determination of susceptibility status of anopheles stephensi to different imagicides collected from malarious area in chabahar city, iran. methods: in the present study seven insecticides including: ddt 4%, lambdacyhalothrin 0.05%, deltamethri...

and economic costs on many poor countries. For South Africa, which has a relatively minor malaria problem for a developing country, from 2000 to 2002 the economic cost ranged between US$15 million and US$41 million, excluding estimates of the human suffering and estimates of lost investment in malarial areas. The methods of controlling and treating the disease are well known and include indoor ...

Sir: Perlis et al. found that irritability was present in 40% of outpatients with major depressive disorder (MDD). The finding mirrors DSM-IV-TR, which lists irritability not only as a core symptom of mania and hypomania, but also as a common symptom of MDD. Kraepelin classified irritability as a manic (excitement) symptom. The bipolar nature of irritability in MDD can have an important impact ...

DDT is a system for testing closed-source binary device drivers against undesired behaviors, like race conditions, memory errors, resource leaks, etc. One can metaphorically think of it as a pesticide against device driver bugs. DDT combines virtualization with a specialized form of symbolic execution to thoroughly exercise tested drivers; a set of modular dynamic checkers identify bug conditio...
