INTRODUCTION The aim of our study was to investigate the extent to which Instructions to authors of the Croatian open access (OA) journals are addressing ethical issues. Do biomedical journals differ from the journals from other disciplines in that respect? Our hypothesis was that biomedical journals maintain much higher publication ethics standards. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study looked at...


 A few years ago, validating proteins to see if they were good or bad was a process that took years. With the creation of Ramachandran Graph evaluates protein structures through angles φ (phi) and ψ (psi), this task became less onerous. evolution computing bioinformatics, platforms have been created generate graphs in an online manner, however, high degree usability complexity. The system...

to facilitate a comprehensive whole population visual acuity screening, a 1-meter vision screener “e” chart was prepared to be used in the person-by-person household visual acuity examination by non-expert health workers. the chart is designed to be used in measuring visual acuity from a distance of one meter. the scaling is in terms of-log mar (logarithm of minimum angle of resolution) with a ...

Nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) is an important family of transcription factors that can be activated by calmodulin and calcineurin in human cells. To investigate the expression and clinical significance of NFAT isoforms and calcineurin in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we collected tumor and adjacent normal tissues from 159 NSCLC patients and assembled them in a tissue microarr...

Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is an important neglected zoonosis in Cameroon, where many communities depend on their livestock for livelihood and the incidence of human TB and TB-HIV/AIDS co-infection are high and increasing annually. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of bovine TB in cattle in the highlands of Cameroon. The magnitude and trend of detecting TB lesions in slaughtere...

growth chart is the best measure for weight monitoring of children. most factors that affect child heath show their effect on child weight. this cross sectional and descriptive analytical study was achieved to estimate malnutrition prevalence and effective factors in children under 5 years old in rural area of khoramabad province. 555 girls and 570 boys were chosen from health houses by cluster...

The possibility of cluster emission from trans-lead (86≤Z≤96) region periodic chart has been explored comprehensively by employing few empirical formulas which are modified adding angular momentum (l) or isospin-dependent (I=(N−Z)/A) both terms for the calculation decay half-lives. These versions found with lesser χ2 per degree freedom and root mean-square error, in addition to smaller values s...
