INTRODUCTION Orbital complications were observed in 53 patients (1.35%, n=53/3912 of all treated patients; 11.04%, n= 53/480 of hospitalized patients). Complications in the orbit can occur in 3-5% of adults with the inflammatory condition of sinuses, while the percentage in children ranges from 0.5-8%. OBJECTIVE The objective of our work was to determine the frequency of the occurence of orbi...

We present a taxonomic revision of the crested newt Triturus karelinii sensu lato. Based on the presence of discrete nuclear DNA gene pools, deep genetic divergence of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, and no indication of gene flow, we interpret this taxon as comprising two species: one covering the southern Caspian Sea shore, the Caucasus and the Crimea, i.e. the eastern part of the total range ...

Downlo PIM family of serine threonine protein kinases plays an important role in regulating both the growth and rmation of malignant cells. However, in a cell line–dependent manner, overexpression of PIM1 can t cell and tumor growth. In 22Rv1 human prostate cells, but not in Du145 or RWPE-2, PIM1 oversion was associated with marked increases in cellular senescence, as shown by changes in the le...

acrjourna h levels of the critical p53 inhibitor Mdm4 is common in tumors that retain a wild-type p53 allele, ting that Mdm4 overexpression is an important mechanism for p53 inactivation during tumorigenesis. t this hypothesis in vivo, we generated transgenic mice with widespread expression of Mdm4. Two ndent lines of transgenic mice, Mdm4 and Mdm4, developed spontaneous tumors, the most prevf ...

English teachers are frequently asked to help colleagues prepare presentations for internationalconferences. Sometimes this assistance takes the form of a language course or tutorials focusingon the spoken language. Contact time is short but the participants are highly motivated. Whattype of pronunciation work will provide the greatest payoff in terms of successfully beingunders...

This report summarizes the proceedings of the 6th and 7th workshops of the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC), held back-to-back in 2008. GSC 6 focused on furthering the activities of GSC working groups, GSC 7 focused on outreach to the wider community. GSC 6 was held October 10-14, 2008 at the European Bioinformatics Institute, Cambridge, United Kingdom and included a two-day workshop focused ...

Aluminophosphate monoliths with high CO 2-over-N 2 selectivity and CO 2 capture capacity. Access to the published version may require subscription. a Monoliths of microporous aluminophosphates (AlPO 4-17 and AlPO 4-53) were structured by binder-free pulsed current processing. Such monoliths could be important for carbon capture from flue gas. The AlPO 4-17 and AlPO 4-53 monoliths exhibited a te...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the response corn (Zea mays L.) grain yield nitrogen (N) fertilizer application and its residual effect on soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seed yield. During 2021 growing season, a corn-soybean rotation continued at Scandia, KS (USA), evaluating five N rates (0, 53, 107, 161, 214 lb N/a) applied in under both dryland irrigated conditions. Average yields ra...

The octyl alcohol, DL-2-ethyl-fl-hexanol, is used industrially as a solvent and, in the form of the ester, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, as a plasticizer. According to Shaffer, Carpenter & Smyth (1945) this ester is saponified in rats and rabbits, phthalic acid being excreted and there being also an increase in the short-chain fatty acids in the urine. After feeding the DL-alcohol to rabbits, Akiy...
