Background: Even though tumours are considered to occur frequently in pet hamsters, there is only a small number of scientific reports current literature. Methods: Pathological from 177 hamsters were evaluated. Results: Of these, 78 male and 75 female. Median age affected was 12 months (range 2–34). Integumental the most common neoplasms (62%, 109/177). As far as species known, Syrian (52%, 30/...

Introduction:Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) has been demonstrated to be an effective therapeutic tool in patients with disseminated bone metastasis. TRT is generally performed with a single radionuclide. In this study we investigated the feasibility of combined TRT with a high-energy beta emitter (153Sm) and a low energy beta emitter (177Lu) in wistar...

Salicylaldehyde 2-chlorobenzoyl hydrazone (H(2)LASSBio-466), salicylaldehyde 4-chlorobenzoyl hydrazone (H(2)LASSBio-1064) and their complexes [Zn(LASSBio-466)H(2)O](2) (1) and [Zn(HLASSBio-1064)Cl](2) (2) were evaluated in animal models of peripheral and central nociception, and acute inflammation. All studied compounds significantly inhibited acetic acid-induced writhing response. Upon coordin...

We study convertible bond arbitrage for the Canadian market. Convertible bond arbitrage is the combination of a long position in underpriced convertible bonds and a short position in the underlying stock. First, we find a downward pressure on cumulative average abnormal returns of the underlying stocks between the announcement and the issuance dates of the convertible bonds. This effect is stro...

Definitions Information Retrieval (IR). The process of finding documents from a given document collection that are relevant to the user's query. Document collections. The key assumption of IR is that document collections are large. Note: This is not always the case. There are some specialized uses of IR techniques, where the document collections are on the order of tens or hunderds of documents...

Cortactin is an F-actin binding protein that activates actin-related protein 2/3 complex and is localized within lamellipodia. Cortactin is a substrate for Src and other protein tyrosine kinases involved in cell motility, where its phosphorylation on tyrosines 421, 466, and 482 in the carboxy terminus is required for cell movement and metastasis. In spite of the importance of cortactin tyrosine...
