OBJECTIVE To test whether lesion site patterns in patients with chronic, severe aphasia who have no meaningful spontaneous speech are predictive of outcome following treatment with a nonverbal, icon-based computer-assisted visual communication (C-ViC) program. DESIGN Retrospective study in which computed tomographic scans performed 3 months after onset of stroke and aphasia test scores obtain...

Aortic valve (AoV) calcification is common in aged populations. Its subsequent aortic stenosis has been linked with increased morbidity, but still has no effective pharmacological intervention. Our previous data show endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is involved in AoV calcification. Here, we investigated whether deficiency of ER stress downstream effector CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homolog...

Data on inclusive jet production in the transverse-momentum (pJ.) range 0-8 GeV /c for 200-GeV/c p, 1r-, 1r+, K-, K+, and]) incident on a hydrogen target are presented. The jet cross section is fully corrected for losses and biases, and compared with the predictions of a model based on quantum chromodynamics. Both the absolute cross section and the inclusive charged-particle distributions insid...

The repeatability of DNA methylation measures may also affect the power of epigenome-wide association studies From Pierre-Antoine Dugué,* Dallas R English, Robert J MacInnis, Jihoon E Joo, Chol-Hee Jung and Roger L Milne Cancer Epidemiology Centre, Cancer Council Victoria, Melbourne, VIC, Australia, Centre for Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Melbourne School of Population and Global Health, Uni...

Vasoactive intestinal contractor (VIC)/endothelin-2 (ET2) is a vasoactive peptide hormone comprising 21 amino acids. The complete nucleotide sequence of the full-length gene encoding preproVIC (PPVIC) was determined. The PPVIC gene contains five exons that span 6 kb and shows a duplication on exons 2 and 3, coding for the VIC and VIC-like peptides respectively. Similarities between the genomic ...

To explore the relationship between neuraminidase immunity and the degree of attenuatíon of live influenza A virus vaccines, a comparative evaluation of three Victoria/75-ts-1[E] (Vic/75-ts-1[E]) recombinant viruses in serum hemagglutination-inhibiting-negative (titer, </=1:8) adult volunteers was performed. These three ts-1[E] viruses had a similar restriction of replication at 38 degrees C in...
