A new genetic map of maize, ISU-IBM Map4, that integrates 2029 existing markers with 1329 new indel polymorphism (IDP) markers has been developed using intermated recombinant inbred lines (IRILs) from the intermated B73xMo17 (IBM) population. The website http://magi.plantgenomics.iastate.edu provides access to IDP primer sequences, sequences from which IDP primers were designed, optimized marke...

PURPOSE Disordered sleep and myopia are increasingly prevalent among Chinese children. Similar pathways may be involved in regulation of both sleep cycles and eye growth. We therefore sought to examine the association between disordered sleep and myopia in this group. METHODS Urban primary school children participating in a clinical trial on myopia and outdoor activity underwent automated cyc...

Iontophoresis of inositol 1, 4, 5-triphosphate into frog (Xenopus laevis) eggs activated early developmental events such as membrane depolarization, cortical contraction, cortical granule exocytosis, and abortive cleavage furrow formation (pseudocleavage). Inositol 1, 4-bisphosphate also triggered these events, but only at doses approximately 100-fold higher, whereas no level of fructose-1, 6-b...

The distinctiveness of anxiety and depressive symptoms in children has previously been questioned based on their high degree of comorbidity, shared risk factors, and treatment response. Developing children may show an unstable presentation of anxiety and depressive symptoms that would complicate interpretation of studies of comorbidity. The present study examined the measurement stability of an...

For most of the weather antenna application, the antenna must be covered with radome to enhance operational efficiency in all weather circumstances. This radome provides environmental protection and along with that it enhances antenna performance. The antenna manufacturer must evaluate radome scattering level so that they can estimate the parameter of cost effective antenna and can provide maxi...

Inhibitory antibody formation is a major complication of factor VIII replacement therapy in patients with hemophilia A. To better understand the pathogenesis of this immunologic reaction, we evaluated the role of T-cell costimulatory signals for antifactor VIII antibody formation in a murine model of hemophilia A. Repeated intravenous injections of factor VIII in these factor VIII–deficient mic...

BACKGROUND We examined the relation of tobacco and alcohol consumption after total laryngectomy with overall survival (OS). METHODS Tobacco and alcohol consumption was assessed at 5 time points after total laryngectomy. Patients were followed up for survival until December 31, 2014. A multivariate Cox regression was fitted to test for differences in OS. RESULTS Three hundred fifty-nine pati...
