Within the National Health Service this process is generally written down manually. Errors are made each year as a con...

stimuli was not significantly different between TRN and SED hearts (P > 0.05 unpaired t-test n = 9-10). We suggest that despite the occurrence of both cardiac hypertrophy and electrical remodelling in response to voluntary exercise, these changes do not pre-dispose the exercise trained heart to arrhythmias. Our findings are consistent with the overall beneficial effect of mild exercise on the h...

By using its Structural Funds to deliver a coherent programme of assistance based on logical principles, the European Union has taken a leading role in strengthening the capacity of the Scottish Highlands and Islands to deliver effective regional development strategies.

We have produced a murine monoclonal antibody (MAb), ZX10, recognizing the NTPase/helicase domain of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural 3 protein (NS3), from which we designed a single-chain variable fragment (ScFv). The ZX10 MAb recognized a discontinuous epitope of the NTPase/helicase domain, of which the linear sequence GEIPFYGKAIPL at residues 1371 to 1382 constitutes one part. cDNAs...
