Multiple endocrine adenomatosis type III (MEA--III) in a 32-year-old white woman is reported. The initial manifestation, a thyroid nodule, was detected at the age of 4 years. The characteristic ocular manifestation of MEA--III are discussed.

background: the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of methanolic extract of achillea millefolium l. (mea) on the antiproliferative activity of bleomycin on human prostate cancer and normal skin cells. materials and methods: human prostate cancer cell (du-145) and human non-malignant fibroblast cell (hfff2) were treated with mea at various concentrations ( 20, 100, 500, 1000 and 200...

This article presents the results of a numerical study, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis to investigate the species distribution of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) with deflected membrane electrode assembly (MEA). These new geometry were examined while employing three-dimensional, single phase, non-isothermal and parallel flow for model of a PEM fuel cell. This num...

BACKGROUND Catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia is limited in part by difficulty in identifying suitable sites for ablation. A noncontact multielectrode array (MEA) has been developed that allows reconstruction of 3360 electrograms, using inverse-solution mathematics, that are superimposed onto a computer-simulated model of the endocardium. This study assesses the accuracy of timing and...

In Arabidopsis, a complex of Polycomb-group (PcG) proteins functions in the female gametophyte to control the initiation of seed development. Mutations in the PcG genes, including MEDEA (MEA) and FERTILIZATION-INDEPENDENT SEED 2 (FIS2), produce autonomous seeds where endosperm proliferation occurs in the absence of fertilization. By using a yeast two-hybrid screen, we identified MEA and a relat...

We have developed an adaptation of multi-variate analysis of variance (MANOVA) to analyze statistically both local and global patterns of multi-electrode array (MEA) electrophysiology data where the activities of many (typically >100) neurons have been recorded simultaneously. Whereas simple application of standard MANOVA techniques prohibits extraction of useful information in this kind of dat...

Clopidogrel low-responsiveness assessed with multiple electrode platelet aggregometry (MEA) has been shown to be a strong and independent predictor of early stent thrombosis (ST) after coronary stenting. The relation of clopidogrel response status, as assessed with MEA, with incidence and timing of ST during an extended follow-up period has never been reported. Here, we report the six-month fol...

The cation exchange chromatographic separation of pyridine, monoethanol amine (MEA) and triethanol amine (TEA) have been explored from source to receiving phase through a fiber supported solid membrane (FSSM). The FSSM were prepared by chemical modification of cellulose fibers with introducing the carboxylic acid ion exchanging groups. The experimental values explored were concentration of pyri...

Kisspeptin, encoded by the Kiss1 gene, is required for reproduction. Humans and mice lacking kisspeptin or its receptor, Kiss1r, have impairments in reproductive physiology and fertility. In addition to being located in the hypothalamus in the anteroventral periventricular and arcuate nuclei, kisspeptin neurons are also present in several extra-hypothalamic regions, such as the medial amygdala ...
