Background Fertility preservation for female cancer patients prior to cancer therapy has emerged as an essential component of comprehensive patient care. In the US, approximately 6% of women diagnosed with invasive cancer between 2007 and 2011 that were under 45 years old. The incidence of cancers in reproductive age women signifies a need for fertility preservation options and this need is inc...

• Haspelmath (1993) argues that the direction of morphological derivation correlates with the likelihood that the event can occur spontaneously—events more likely to occur spontaneously are lexicalized in their morphologically basic form as words denoting non-causative COS predicates (e.g. melt), while those less likely to occur spontaneously are lexicalized in their morphologically basic form ...

BACKGROUND A core outcome set (COS) is a standardised set of outcomes which should be measured and reported, as a minimum, in all effectiveness trials for a specific health area. This will allow results of studies to be compared, contrasted and combined as appropriate, as well as ensuring that all trials contribute usable information. The COMET (Core Outcome Measures for Effectiveness Trials) I...

für die resultierende mittlere Geschwindigkeit eines Teilchens nach einem Stoß: t>red = v c p . Aus den Gesetzen des elastischen Stoßes für Kugeln der Massen m0, mx ergibt sich für die Geschwindigkeit von 77i0 nach dem Stoß mit ß = ( (m x m0 ) / (m, + m 0 ) ) 2, e=(l/ß-l) (d/R0)2 : v=v0(ßey*(( 1 + 1/fi) — cos2 ft)1'*; (A.6) cos #m i n = (1 (R0/d)2 (ß (vmJv 0)2)/ (ß-1) cos # m a x = (1 (R0/d)2)1...

A full-length cDNA clone encoding human mitochondrial carbonic anhydrase (CA), CA V, was isolated from a human liver cDNA library. The 1123-bp cDNA includes a 55-bp 5' untranslated region, a 915-bp open reading frame, and a 153-bp 3' untranslated region. Expression of the cDNA in COS cells produced active enzyme. The 34-kDa precursor and 30-kDa mature form of CA V were identified on Western blo...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the prevalence of metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) and Tn6001 in carbapenem-non-susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CNSPA). The CNSPA included extensively drug-resistant P. aeruginosa (XDRPA) and non-XDRPA isolates in Taiwan. METHODS A total of 308 CNSPA isolates collected at a medical centre from 2000 to 2005 and 26 XDRPA collected from six medical centres in differen...

objective: fetal development of the central nervous system is an important and sensitive stage which is affected by many external and internal stimuli. this study aimed to investigate effect of musical stimuli on fetal rat brain. materials and methods: in this experimental study, twelve female wistar rats were selected and evenly assigned to control and musical groups. the females were mated wi...
