Oligomer-based DNA Affymetrix GeneChips representing about one-third of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) genes were used to profile global gene expression in a single cell type, guard cells, identifying 1309 guard cell-expressed genes. Highly pure preparations of guard cells and mesophyll cells were isolated in the presence of transcription inhibitors that prevented induction of stress-induci...

BACKGROUND Thyroid cancer (TC) detection is increasing steadily. AIM To determine the incidence of TC based on pathological reports of thyroidectomies. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty pathology laboratories performing thyroid gland pathological studies were identified. Those that accepted to participate were required to send trimestral reports of all thyroid pathological studies, from March 2011...

A study was carried out to determine the incidence of sudden cardiac death in a well defined population in relation to prodromes, medical history, and previous medical consultations before sudden cardiac death. In Frederiksborg county, Denmark (population 332 000), of 1309 consecutive deaths in a six month period, 166 were due to sudden cardiac death; among men aged 50-69, 22% of all deaths wer...

AIM To assess (i) the association between lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] with the likelihood of coronary heart disease and metabolic syndrome (MS) and (ii) its covariates in Turkish adults. METHODS Cross-sectional evaluation of 1309 adults, who had serum Lp(a) determinations by Behring nephelometry, and followed for a mean 1.0 year. MS was defined by ATPIII criteria modified for male abdominal obesit...

Identification curves were estimated for the English consonants /b,d,g/ using five-formant CV synthetic stimuli comprehensively sampling the F2 onset-F2 vowel acoustic space in the vicinity of /b,d,g/ locus equations [H. Sussman et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 90, 1309-1325 (1991)]. The stimuli included 10 English monophthongal vowel contexts, 11 levels of F2 onset per vowel, and 3 levels of F3 ons...

Peripheral nerve injuries, particularly in the upper limb, may have devastating consequences. The outcome of injury is determined by the amount of cellular damage, and by variables which include the site of the lesion, the degree of disruption of the conne...

Inactivation of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene product initiates colorectal tumorigenesis. Patients with familial APC (FAP) carry germ-line mutations in the APC gene and develop multiple colorectal adenomas and subsequent carcinomas early in life. The severity of the disease correlates with the position of the inherited APC mutation (genotype-phenotype correlation). Together with the...
