Wide regional differences in the age-related Anti Mullerian hormone (AMH) regression patterns or age at onset of natural menopause have been reported, possibly reflecting genetic, socioeconomic, environmental, racial or ethnic peculiarities. Moreover, adaptation of AMH levels from different assays using regression functions may lack accuracy and externally defined references for AMH levels may ...

In this supplement we prove the admissibility of all the cycles appearing in the paper Goncharov’s Relations in Bloch’s higher Chow Group CH3(F, 5). First let’s recall the following two Lemmas: Lemma 3.1. (Gangl-Müller-Stach) Let fi (i = 1, 2, 3, 5) be rational functions and f4(x, y) be a product of fractional linear transformations of the form (a1x+b1y+c1)/(a2x+b2y+c2). We assume that all the ...

Persistent M ü llerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is an autosomal recessive disorder of sex development (DSD) characterized by the presence of M ü llerian duct derivatives in 46, XY phenotypic males. To date, more than 50 different mutations of the anti-M ü llerian hormone gene (AMH) have been reported. Here, we report two novel mutations of AMH in a Japanese patient with PMDS. A 1-year-old male pres...

In this paper we present a study on visual perception, awareness and self-control, based on the visual exploration of the classical Brentano-Müller Lyer illusion and of some of its variants. The study has been realized with the help of self-made software designed to analyze eye-tracker recordings. In the case of subjects that have a certain familiarity with visual illusions, although not with a...

George has had more than his share of such Indiana Jones-style adventures. He kept a constant vigil at the Iraqi Museum in Baghdad during the Gulf War, catching a nap in the cellar in between air raids; he organized opposition to the truckloads of armed looters who scoured the countryside in the mid-1990s; and he later survived a brutal assault by an unknown assailant. All the while, George has...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of ovarian endometrioma vaporization using plasma energy on antimullerian hormone (AMH) level. METHOD We report a prospective, noncomparative series (NCT01596985). Twenty-two patients with unilateral ovarian endometriomas≥30 mm, with no surgical antecedent and no ongoing pregnancy, underwent vaporization of ovarian endometriomas using plasma energy during t...

In a recent paper, Marr, Müller-Linow and Hütt [Phys. Rev. E 75, 041917 (2007)] investigate an artificial dynamic system on metabolic networks. They find a less complex time evolution of this dynamic system in real networks, compared to networks of reference models. The authors argue that this suggests that metabolic network structure is a major factor behind the stability of biochemical steady...
