In Escherichia coli polA lig-4 bacteria, the moles percent 6-methyladenine content of 10S deoxyribonucleic acid (Okazaki fragments) is 0.96 compared with 1.4 for bulk desoxyribonucleic acid.

OBJECTIVE To assess the frequency of occurrence and risk factors for multiple primary melanoma. DESIGN Population-based, case-control study. SETTING New Hampshire. PARTICIPANTS Three-hundred fifty-four New Hampshire residents with a confirmed first diagnosis of cutaneous melanoma. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Diagnosis of a subsequent primary cutaneous melanoma. RESULTS An additional melanoma...

Background. Malignant melanoma is uncommon but potentially fatal. Knowledge and attitudes play an important part in the early detection of this skin cancer. Aim. To assess knowledge, risk perception, and intended behaviour related to melanoma compared with actual risk status. To suggest measures to improve the primary and secondary prevention of melanoma in general practice for a high-risk grou...

background: classification of molar gestation into complete hydatidiform mole (chm) and partial hydatidiform mole (phm) is done according to clinical, ultrasonographic, histologic and genetic criteria. however, making a distinction between chm and phm using histologic criteria alone may be difficult and several studies have shown that misclassifications are frequent, even for experienced pathol...

Gestational choriocarcinomas are malignant tumors of trophoblastic cells that affect 5-25% of women with sporadic hydatidiform moles (HMs) depending on countries and studies. Nucleotide binding and oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 7 (NLRP7) is a major gene responsible for recurrent HMs and recently mutations in this gene have also been shown in 13% of women with sporadic, non-recurr...

Background Approximately 5% to 10% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a hereditary basis. In most of these defined hereditary cancer syndromes, PDAC is not the predominant cancer type. Traditional criteria for publicly funded genetic testing typically require the presence of a set combination of the predominant syndrome-associated cancer types in the family history.We report the ide...

Young bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) plants grown in nutrient solution were gradually acclimated to 50, 100, or 150 moles per cubic meter NaCl, and photosynthetic rates of individual attached leaves were measured on several occasions during the salinization period at external CO(2) concentrations ranging from approximately 70 to 1900 micromoles per mole air. Net CO(2) assimilation (A) was plo...

Addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG) as an osmotic agent (at -230 kilopascals) dramatically lessened the toxicity of NaCl (at 50 moles per cubic meter) to rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings. This was explained by a reduction in the uptake of NaCl. This reduction was much greater than could be accounted for by the lowered transpiration rate resulting from the solute potential changes due to the P...
