While epidemiological studies have suggested that aluminum is a risk factor for Alzheimer disease (AD), the underlying mechanism through which aluminum leads to AD remains unknown. Despite the lack of evidence linking aluminum to AD that have motivated many to avoid using materials such as cooking utensils made with the metal, researchers have yet to investigate the precise effects of aluminum ...

The hip joint gains its vascular supply from the superior gluteal arteries as well as from the medial and lateral circumflex femoral arteries with the first perforating artery. In gluteal trauma, the superior and inferior gluteal artery may be affected which may end with vascular insult of hip joint. The current study includes a dissection of 171 cadavers to examine the vascular supply of hip j...

Adoptive transfer of regulatory T cells (Tregs) prevents GVHD in experimental animals. Because antigen activation drives Treg function, we measured the frequency, growth requirements, and function of alloantigen-specific (allospecific) Tregs from human blood. When alloantigen was presented directly, the precursor frequency of allo-specific Tregs in normal individuals was 1.02% (95% confidence i...

Abstract We present a case report of an immunocompromised adult with cytomegalovirus infection and APLA positivity complicated by multiple large arterial thrombi. This is rare presentation as most the cases reported earlier have been venous thrombosis, thus demonstrating propensity CMV to induce thrombosis either directly or indirectly.

Then it is internally merged as sister phrase. Either copy may be pronounced. When appears higher than bare argument ellipsis has occurred second disjunct. This cons...
