BACKGROUND Preeclampsia represents a major cause of maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide. Although it is known that the placenta plays a central role in development of preeclampsia, investigation into the contribution of environmental toxicants to the risk of preeclampsia has been sparse. OBJECTIVES In the present study we examined the relationship between longitudinally measured urinar...

Osmanlı’nın imparatorluğa uygun bir toplum oluşturma çabası, birçok farklı halkı Türk ve İslami nitelikler çerçevesinde örgütleyerek bağlantı noktaları yaratmıştır. Yönetici elitler bölge konjonktüründe, yükselen hakim değer Türklük İslam’dı. Osmanlılar on yedinci yüzyılın tartışmalı dönemlerinde Anadolu’da yerel halkla daha kurumsal ilişkiler kurdular. Gerek yönetsel gerekse eğitsel alanlarda ...

Around the world, large-scale biomonitoring programs have provided extensive information about human exposure to a large number of environmental chemicals (Barr et al. 2010; Bilau et al. 2008; Churchill et al. 2001; Woodruff et al. 2011). As these programs extend to look at vulnerable populations, including pregnant women, fetuses, and the elderly, our knowledge of the widespread distribution o...

Deletion of 13 amino acids from the carboxyl terminus of staphylococcal nuclease (WTSNase delta) results in a denatured, partially unfolded molecule that lacks significant persistent secondary structure but is relatively compact and monomeric under physiological conditions [Shortle & Meeker (1989) Biochemistry 28, 936-944; Flanagan et al. (1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 89, 748-752]. Becau...

Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) was widely cultivated in Europe in the mid-16th Century for food (porridge), and for fiber. Hemp was brought to South America from Spain in 1545.

Although banned from production in the United States and other developed countries in the late 1970s, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) remain widespread environmental contaminants found in measurable amounts in the general population. These compounds have been linked to longer time to pregnancy and increased preg nancy loss in both epidemiologic and experimental research. A new study pinpoints ...
