THE diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism has been classically based upon the demonstration of high plasma calcium and low plasma phosphorus concentrations and an excessive urinary excretion of calcium. In recent years, however, it has become recognized that patients with primary hyperparathyroidism may present with plasma calcium concentrations that are within the normal range (George et al...

The number of people seeking alternative medications to treat disease is increasing; indeed, this was the subject of study conducted by Eisenberg et al in 1993 [1] who reported that there were 425 million visits to providers of alternative treatment during 1992 in the USA. This number has probably increased since then. These alternative therapies are sold as nutritional supplements for numerous...

Introduction As described throughout this book, typical observers exhibit remarkable sensitivity to the social information conveyed by the bodily movement of other people. While researchers have historically motivated their studies of the perception of human movement by asserting that successful social behavior depends on it (for review see Blake & Shiffrar, 2007), empirical evidence for this l...

What is there about alternative medicine that sets it apart from ordinary medicine? The term refers to a remarkably heterogeneous group of theories and practices -as disparate as homeopathy, therapeutic touch, imagery, and herbal medicine. What unites them? Eisenberg et al. defined alternative medicine (now often called complementary medicine) as "medical interventions not taught widely at U.S....

Succinic dehydrogenase has usually been associated with a macromolecular intracellular unit (mitochondria) whenever the enzyme has been isolated. In an ultracentrifugal analysis of the composition of extracts of various organisms, Schachman et al. (1952) found that Rhodospirillum rubrum yielded particles with a wide range of sedimentation constants. Succinic dehydrogenase has been demonstrated ...

In [1], Eisenberg and Faltings proposed a breakout [2] based hybrid approach to detect infeasible subset (IS) in constraint satisfaction problems. In this paper, we adopted this algorithm as a preprocessing procedure to reduce the over-constrained constraint satisfaction problem. Then a three procedures hybrid approach is employed to detect the irreducible infeasible subset (IIS) of identified ...

This minireview is dedicated to the memory of Henryk Eisenberg and honors his major contributions to many areas of biophysics and to the analysis of macromolecular states and interactions in particular. This work reviews the ATP and ADP states of a ubiquitous protein, actins, and considers the present evidence for and against unique, nucleotide-dependent conformations of this protein. The effec...
