This work presents a study of human hair as a bio-indicator for detection of heavy metals as part of environmental health surveillance programs project to develop a subject of interest in the biomedical and environmental sciences. A total of 34 hair samples were analyzed that consisting of 29 samples from sanitation workers and five samples from students. The hair samples were prepared and trea...

The impact of the ACE I/D polymorphism on coronary heart disease (CHD) risk is modest at most, however it may act as a modifier gene. ACE genotype was determined in 2711 healthy middle-aged men (mean age 56 years) followed for 15 years. No genotype-CHD risk association was found, but when analyzed by quartiles of systolic blood pressure (SBP), compared with II homozygotes, carriage of each addi...

Difficulties in social communication are not necessarily observed only in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and there are many subclinical cases in the general populations. Although advanced parental age at childbirth has often been considered a possible risk factor of ASD, it might contribute to poor social functioning in children, rather than to ASD itself. This study examined...

A series of low molecular weight peptide inhibitors of factor Xa, unrelated to any previously described, was identified by screening a combinatorial peptide library composed of L-amino acids. The minimal inhibitory sequence is a tripeptide, L-tyrosinyl-L-isoleucyl-L-arginyl, which competitively inhibits the hydrolysis of small chromogenic substrates by factor Xa but binds in an orientation whic...
