The capacity of the osteoporotic spine to withstand axial loads may be influenced by trabecular bone quality, subregional BMD and vertebral body geometry. However, there is limited information in the literature regarding in vivo loading of the thoracic spine, other than a mathematical mod[r]
2. Patients and Methods From October 1988 to October 1996, 122 patients affected by epithelial ovarian cancer who had been found to be in complete remission, as judged by laparoscopy and/or laparotomy, entered the GOCCNE study (Gruppo Oncologico Cooperativo Clinico del Nord-Est, consisting of 20[r]
The study to identify the receptors for human HBV LHBs has been less successful. Despite the fact that the specific preS1 domain for attachment of the LHBs to human liver cells and/or cell lines has been repeatedly verified, the cellular protein that is responsible for this binding has not been f[r]

Resting and stress ECG analyses in CAD patients primarily focus on time-dependent ST-segment analysis and the detection of other abnormalities, such as Q-wave abnormalities, Q-T interval, etc. This is not comparable to the MCG concepts and technology, which performs a coronary disease/is[r]
In the early 1990s two randomized clinical trials have indicated the effectiveness of high dose of folic acid [1] or folic acid-containing multivitamin supplementation [2] during the periconceptional period in the primary prevention of recurrent [1] and first occurrence [2] of neural-tube defect[r]

Random integration also raises the concern that an endogenous gene will be damaged by transgene insertion. The degree of risk for any one insertion event must approximate to the proportion of coding sequences (plus controlling elements) within the human genome, a figure of no more than 2%.[r]
New methods for quantifying signal variability are needed in order to determine the affects of such variability. Higuchi [7] has provided a relatively straight-forward technique that can be applied to time- series data to extract the fractal dimension. When applied to data such as COP displa[r]
4. Discussion The principle findings of this study include the followings: first MTHFR gene mutation does not seem to be associated with the occurrence of coronary heart disease or the elevation of plasma tHcy in the studied patients. Plasma tHcy was significantly higher in elder patients with c[r]
1. Introduction Multicellular organisms live in a complex milieu where signaling pathways contribute to critical links, for their existence. Tyrosine kinases are important mediators of this signal transduction process, leading to cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, metaboli[r]
Lyme disease does not necessarily follow when someone is bitten by a tick: only 3-10% of ticks are infected and the risk of catching the disease is very low if removal is done correctly [r]
