Although the molecularly cloned mouse c-mos oncogene locus can be efficiently activated by insertion of a retroviral long terminal repeat (LTR) 5' to its coding region, only low-frequency transformation occurs with the LTR element inserted 3' to this region. Analysis of several of the latter transformed cell lines suggested that loss of 2 kilobases (kb) of normal mouse DNA sequences preceding c...

There remains a pressing need for a stability metric that can reliably identify fall susceptibility during walking, enabling more effective gait rehabilitation for reduced fall incidence. One available metric is the maximum margin of stability (MOS(max)), which is calculated using the body's center of mass (COM) position and velocity along with the location of the maximum center of pressure (CO...

The effects of oligosaccharide supplementation on the growth performance, flock uniformity and GIT development of broiler chickens were investigated. Four diets, one negative control, one positive control supplemented with zinc-bacitracin, and two test diets supplemented with mannoligosaccharide (MOS) and fructooligosaccharide (FOS), were used for the experiment. Birds given MOS or FOS had impr...

This paper presents a new simple configuration to realize the voltage-controlled floating resistor, which is suitable for integrated circuit implementation. The proposed resistor is composed of three main components: MOS transistor operating in the non-saturation region, DDCC, and MOS voltage divider. The MOS transistor operating in the non-saturation region is used to configure a floating line...

BACKGROUND Cutaneous microvascular occlusion syndromes (MOS) present with noninflammatory retiform purpura with variable outcomes that are dependent on the severity, duration, and specific underlying cause. Transient cases are often associated with few sequelae, while severe forms such as symmetrical peripheral gangrene may be associated with amputation and death. OBSERVATIONS A middle-aged m...

The relationship between the mos protooncogene protein and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) during the maturation of Xenopus oocytes was investigated. Microinjection of the PKA catalytic subunit (PKAc) into Xenopus oocytes inhibited oocyte maturation induced by the mos product but did not markedly affect the autophosphorylation activity of injected mos protein. By contrast, PKAc did not inhi...

A mixed effect model describing median overall survival (mOS) in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (aHCC) treated with antiangiogenic therapy (AAT) was developed from literature data. Data were extracted from 59 studies, representing 4,813 patients. The final model included estimates of mOS after AAT (8.5 months) or placebo (7.1 months) administration. The mOS increased 21% when t...

Results The overall response rate (ORR) and mOS are described in Table 1. In the retrospective cohort, the 1, 2, and 3 year survival rates were 89%, 69%, and 61% respectively for patients with stable disease (SD). Similarly, in the prospective cohort, 1 and 2 year survival rates for patients with SD were 95% and 76%, respectively. The mOS was not reached for patients with SD in both cohorts. Th...

BACKGROUND Primary care medical officers (MOs) are expected to maintain self-education while serving in their units in order to maintain professional standards. With the rise of smartphone use in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the WhatsApp application can facilitate medical learning. To date, there has been no description of the use of this tool by MOs in a military setting. This paper aims t...

effect of dietary mixture of prebiotic mannan oligosaccharide (mos) and β-1,3glucan, on growth performance, survival and body composition in grass carp juvenile (ctenopharyngodon idella) were investigated for 56 days. practical diets were supplemented with 0, 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 g/kg mixture of mos and β-1,3glucan in a totally randomized design trial in triplicate groups. the experiment carri...
