Here we report a method to calculate Born radii, an important parameter used in a Generalized Born model. Traditional methods to derive Born radii are mostly based on a complicated formula, while our method is easier and more direct. Atoms are classified according to their atom type, and the Born radii of each type are obtained by fitting to experimental solvation free energy. The SMARTS langua...

Background: Encephaloceles result from failure of the surface ectoderm to separate from the neuroectoderm. We aimed to review the data of cases with occipital encephalocele. Case report: Patient records were reviewed retrospectively for encephalocele. The clinical, radiological and surgical data were evaluated. Five female newborns with occipital encephaloceles were included. All but one mother...

A novel technique, based on cytotoxicity-neutralization, was developed for the in vitro titration of anti-sheep lymphocyte and anti-sheep macrophage sera. The titres obtained for a number of antisera were compared with those found in an agglutination assay. Anti-lymphocyte sera with a high cytotoxicity-neutralization titre very effectively suppressed the number of circulating lymphocytes in the...

Neurons born in new places eurogenesis in the adult brain is generally considered to be restricted to the hippocampus and olfactory bulb—ancient parts of the brain that are found even in nonmammalian species. A few publications suggested that the neocortex—a well-developed region in primates that is implicated in higher thought—also supports neurogenesis. These reports have been met with skepti...
