background: s1 radiculopathy is a high prevalence illness and its early diagnosis is of crucial importance. several reports have revealed the efficacy of magnetic stimulation in diagnosis of this condition. we conducted this study to compare mmep latency and mmep amplitude in patients with s1 radiculopathy and healthy controls in shohadaye tajreash hospital in 2007. materials and methods: this ...

Breeding cassava relies on several selection stages (single row trial-SRT; preliminary; advanced; and uniform yield trials-UYT). This study uses data from 14 years of evaluations. From more than 20,000 genotypes initially evaluated only 114 reached the last stage. The objective was to assess how the data at SRT could be used to predict the probabilities of genotypes reaching the UYT. Phenotypic...

In this newer version, LDsplit was implemented in Java language with a user-friendly interface as shown in Figure 2. This greatly facilitates the analysis of data, providing users with an integrative view of genomic context of hotspots (e.g. flanking DNA sequences). We tested the newly implemented LDsplit on HapMap SNP data to predict the association of the FG11 SNP with the DNA2 hotspot, previ...

S1 Table. Properties of available TCR structures. For each X-ray structure TCR names used in the literature are listed and the relevant TCR chains within one biological unit are indicated. Loci and alleles of the TRAV, TRBV, TRAJ, and TRBJ were assigned using the IMGT Gene/DB [1] and the sequences of the CDR loops are listed for comparison of the different subtypes (Mutations within the framewo...

background: human leukocyte antigen-g (hla-g) is a non-classical class i molecule highly expressed by extravillous cytotrophoblast cells. due to a single base pair deletion, its function can be compensated by other isoforms. investigating the frequency of null allele in recurrent miscarriage (rm) subjects could be useful in understanding the relationship between frequency of this allele and rm ...

The Helicobacter pylori virulence gene, cagA, and active forms of the vacuolating cytotoxin gene, vacA, are major determinants of pathogenesis. However, previous studies linking these factors to disease risk have often included patients using aspirin/nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs) or acid-suppressing drugs, both of which may confound results. Also, particularly for gastric cance...

Here we briefly review our information theoretic approach to revealing community structure in weighted and directed networks [1] and present a new fast stochastic and recursive search algorithm to minimize the map equation — the objective function of our method. We have developed this algorithm to be able to accurately partition the large number of bootstrap networks [2]. The search algorithm c...

The double exponential model t t M T Be Ae vl μ μ − − + = was fitted to log10(vl) data from day 0 to day 28 post ART. When vl was undetectable it was replaced with the limit of detection (80 copies per ml), indicated by the dashed line in Figure S1 and S2. Fits were performed by nonlinear least squares regression, confidence intervals were calculated by bootstrapping the cases and trimming the ...
