This remarkable and brilliant book throws a searchlight on to the clinical study, treatment and training of a section of our community whose problems have been so misunderstood and ignored. The author's approach reveals much profound and original thinking based on a new concept of the condition which has been labelled "subnormality", and his opinions and findings are the result of years of expe...

In the Northern Adriatic Sea, extracellular enzymatic activity was measured during a Lagrangian study following a drifting buoy for 40 h. Dissolved free enzymatic activity represented 20 to 70% of total activity depending on the type of enzyme. aand P-glucosidases exhibited a significantly higher free activity than proteolytic enzymes. In subsequent laboratory experiments we investigated the ef...

BACKGROUND: Vitamin A which is found in different tissuesand organs plays a particular role in detecting clinical signs invarious deficiency conditions. However, sometimes the marginaldeficiency is present in a way that clinical signs are not visible butperformance defects, such as infertility is seen. OBJECTIVES: Inthis study, the normal baseline levels of vitamin Aand β-carotene inclinically ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Varicella-Zoster virus (VZV) is a human herpes virus that usually attacks young children and commonly causes chicken pox (Varicella). Following primary infection, a lifelong latent infection is established. The virus often reactivates during adulthood or senesces to cause shingles (Zoster). Little is known regarding the genotypes of Varicella in Kuwait. The aim of this...

The structure of a(+/-),a(+/-),b(+/-)-type Coulombic systems is characterized by the effective ground-state density of the a-type particles, computed via nonrelativistic quantum mechanics without introduction of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. A structural transition is observed when varying the relative mass of the aand b-type particles, e.g., between atomic Hand molecular H-2(+). The part...

Tocopherols are lipophilic antioxidants that are synthesized exclusively in photosynthetic organisms. In most higher plants, aand g-tocopherol are predominant with their ratio being under spatial and temporal control. While a-tocopherol accumulates predominantly in photosynthetic tissue, seeds are rich in g-tocopherol. To date, little is known about the specific roles of aand g-tocopherol in di...
