loess and loess-like deposits cover large areas of golestan province of iran, a well-known region in the world for its high incidence rate of esophageal cancer (ec). despite numerous published works on the possible contributing factors for the observed high incidence rate, very little attention has been given so far to a possible link between the mineralogy of loess deposits in the region and e...

The subject of government bank regulation is intimately intertwined with that of government deposit insurance. If the government is to insure bank deposits, it should also have some say in the risks that insured banks are allowed to take, otherwise it would leave itself wide open to unlimited potential losses. John H. Kareken (in this issue) comes close to arguing that banks without government ...

To present 2 cases with long-term relapse-free intervals only after limbo-keratoplasty but not after conventional penetrating keratoplasty in granular dystrophy.Retrospective review of the patient charts and photographs taken during long-term follow-up of 2 cases with granular dystrophy, in which 1 eye received penetrating keratoplasty and the fellow eye received penetrating limbo-keratoplasty....

AIM To review the existing literature on the role and significance of intestinal transglutaminase 2 immunoglobulin A deposits (TG2 deposits) in patients with overt celiac disease (CD), potential celiac disease (PCD), and other autoimmune or gluten-related conditions. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of studies published in English, evaluating presence and characteristics of TG2 deposi...

Doubly transgenic mice expressing both a mutated amyloid precursor protein and a mutated presenilin-1 protein accumulate A(beta) deposits as they age. The early A(beta) deposits were found to be primarily composed of fibrillar A(beta) and resembled compact amyloid plaques. As the mice aged, nonfibrillar A(beta) deposits increased in number and spread to regions not typically associated with amy...

The influence of various factors, such as current density, bath and annealing temperatures, on microhardness of electrodeposited nickel from a nickel sulfamateformamide bath was investigated. Bright, adherent, finegrained and almost defect-free nickel deposits with moderately high hardness were obtained at 50 "C and a current density of 0.6 Aldm2. The microhardness of the nickel deposits decrea...
