background: 49, xxxxy syndrome is a rare sex chromosomal disorder, occurring in 1 per 85,000-100,000 male births. the classical phenotype is ambiguous genitalia, facial dysmorphism, mental retardation and a combination of cardiac, skeletal and other malformations. case: a two month-old boy with intrauterine growth restriction (iugr) and low birth weight, facial dysmorphism, clinodactyly in feet...

In this study, the relationship between nitrogen content and corrosion resistances of non-equimolar multicomponent AlCrNbYZrN films (N = 13–49 at.%) is probed. While there was no linear resistance, results clearly show that were instead determined by their nitrogen-induced porosities i.e. less porous sample, higher resistance. The 23, 30 37 at.% N samples denser while 13 sample 49 film had an u...

Carboxylesterases (CES) are a well recognized, yet incompletely characterized family of proteins that catalyze neutral lipid hydrolysis. Some CES have well-defined roles in xenobiotic clearance, pharmacologic prodrug activation, and narcotic detoxification. In addition, emerging evidence suggests other CES may have roles in lipid metabolism. Humans have six CES genes, whereas mice have 20 Ces g...
