To the Editors: In the Health Professional Follow-up Study, Michaud et al. (1) found a 55% increased risk of bladder cancer for subjects with a history of gastric ulcer. Previous epidemiologic investigations on the issue are limited to patients who had undergone gastric surgery (2, 3). To provide further information on the topic, we report here data from a case-control study of bladder cancer, ...

due to the complex assessment of young walnut cultivars (juglansregia l.) based on morphological traits, advance molecular tools have provided a new prospect for cultivar identification and dna fingerprinting. in this study, specific molecular keys were identified for 5 iranian walnut cultivars (juglansregia l.) using 30 ssr markers. the results showed that 5 ssr markers produced polymorphic ba...

Previous studies on the relationship between obesity and circulating insulin-like growth factor (IGF) hormones show inconsistent findings and have not considered the possibility of racial/ethnic–specific differences that may exist. We therefore examined the relationship between obesity status [as measured by body mass index (BMI)] and plasma levels of the IGF proteins, IGF-I, IGF-binding protei...

Several studies have shown that feeding of an energy-dense diet over short periods to cull cows could be profitable in terms of increased saleable yield and improved carcass conditions. Although the application of growth promoters, such as anabolic implants and beta agonists, in finishing of cull cows have been recorded, there is no conclusive evidence as to the timing and duration of beta agon...

BACKGROUND Alternatives to the available stavudine-containing paediatric fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablets are rapidly needed due to concerns regarding the cumulative toxicity of long-term stavudine exposure. We report the bioavailability and short-term safety of a novel paediatric FDC tablet of zidovudine (ZDV)/lamivudine (3TC)/nevirapine (NVP; 30/15/28 mg) in HIV-infected children. METHO...

Background: We examined the associations between muscular strength, markers of overall and central adiposity, and cancer mortality in men. Methods: A prospective cohort study including 8,677 men ages 20 to 82 years followed from 1980 to 2003. Participants were enrolled in The Aerobics Centre Longitudinal Study, the Cooper Institute in Dallas, Texas. Muscular strength was quantified by combining...

We note that the Chinese remainder theorem implies that this group is isomorphic with the cylic group of order 30, Z30. 31 is prime so the only abelian group of order 31 is Z31. 32 = 2. So there are many possibilities corresponding to all of the ways we can write m1 +m2 + ...+mr = 5 with m1 ≥ m2 ≥ ... ≥ mr. The solutions are 5 = 5 which corresponds to Z32, 4 ≥ 1 giving Z16 ×Z2, 3 ≥ 2 giving Z8 ...
