The three positron based chemical entities, analogous to hydrogen atom, hydrogen molecule and hydride, are drawing increasing attention in the literature. While a lot is known about the binding energies, not much is known about the radii of the atoms and ions and bond lengths and structures of these exotic entities. This article brings for the first time exact values of these structural propert...

Infertility patients are known to be at increased risk of endometrial carcinoma (EC) and atypical hyperplasia (AH). However, the incidence and clinical features of EC and AH in these patients remain to be clarified. In this study, we examined the rate at which a routine infertility workup revealed EC/AH and investigated the clinicopathological features of EC/AH detected in this way. Among patie...

Aqueous humor (AH) is one of the body fluids in the eye, which is known to be related with various ocular diseases, but the complete RNAs characteristic of the AH in patients is not yet known. The aim of this study was, with a microarray analysis, to reveal the disease-related extracellular miRNAs profiles in individual patients AH. 100 μl of AH was collected by anterior chamber paracentesis fr...

Recent successes in genome-wide association studies (GWASs) make it possible to address important questions about the genetic architecture of complex traits, such as allele frequency and effect size. One lesser-known aspect of complex traits is the extent of allelic heterogeneity (AH) arising from multiple causal variants at a locus. We developed a computational method to infer the probability ...

Aim: Most endodontic sealers show antimicrobial activity before setting, but most of them also lose this ability after setting. Addition of an antibiotic may affect the properties of sealers such as sealing ability, setting time, and so on. The aim of this study was to assess whether the addition of antibiotics (amoxicillin, doxycycline, and clindamycin) improves the sealing ability of AH 26 se...

BACKGROUND & AIMS The role of liver progenitor cell (LPC) expansion, known as a marker of disease severity, as well as the impact of macrophage activation on liver regeneration remains unclear in humans. We aimed to characterize the LPC and macrophage compartments in alcoholic hepatitis (AH), as well as gene expression patterns to identify predictors of a good prognosis in this setting. METHO...

INTRODUCTION Both admission hyperglycemia (AH) and diabetes mellitus adversely affect the prognosis in acute coronary syndromes. We prospectively assessed the predictive role of AH in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS Three hundred-one consecutive patients hospitalized for STEMI were enrolled. Patients were stratified into four groups based on the...

shaykh shams al-din mohammad ben makki ameli known as the first martyr is an outstanding faqih from jabal amel in the ayyubids period. trying to spread shiism in an anti-shiite environment and to have relationships with the sarbedaran of khorasan in iran, he was imprisoned and finally martyred. relying on the relationship between religion and reason and the status of reason in religious precept...

The presynaptic protein complexin (CPX) is a critical regulator of synaptic vesicle fusion, but the mechanisms underlying its regulatory effects are not well understood. Its highly conserved central helix (CH) directly binds the ternary SNARE complex and is required for all known CPX functions. The adjacent accessory helix (AH) is not conserved despite also playing an important role in CPX func...
