Electrical responses in specific sensory systems show wide variations due apparently to the modulating action of "extrasensory" or "unspecific" mechanisms. The chapter presents a summary of some observations related to these variations and their physiological and psychological significance. Two experiments ...
The current protocols for blocking background staining in immunohistochemistry are based on conflicting reports. Background staining is thought to occur as a result of either non-specific antibody (Ab) binding to endogenous Fc receptors (FcRs) or a combi
The composition of patients increasingly resembles that of the case distribution seen in primary care practice according to Braun: 20% of unspecific diagnoses (syncope, thoracic pain, chest pain, breathing difficulties, etc) make for 80% of consultations (Pareto function). The primary care "low ...
All patients with active inflammation had bone edema, and almost half had surrounding soft tissue inflammation with a para-vertebral or pre-sacral distribution. These findings on MRI are not specific of CNO and rather represent an inflammatory process, but are similar to other descriptions of CNO ...
All cases were non-specific, that is, no peculiar or distinguish- able combination of symptoms was found. Further, unspecific symptoms we documented were epilepsy in 17 families, growth retardation in 11 families, muscular hypertonia in five families and hypotonia in 17 families, micro- cephaly...
The synthesis of NO by ECs is regulated, at least to some extent, by specific miRNA. DOX was found to increase the expression of miR-320a in the hearts of drug-treated mice and in HUVECs in vitro. The attenuation of this molecule translated to improved heart vessel density in vivo, rep...
(2006), Thelohanellus hov- orkai is able to distinguish its susceptible fish host from non-susceptible host species. This was the first case of host-specific invasion reactions demonstrated for a myxosporean. However, in our own observations, carp mucus often elicits far higher sporoplasm ...
p pBackground/p pActive approaches including both specific and unspecific exercise are probably the most widely recommended treatment for patients with chronic low back pain but it is not known exactly which types of exercise provide the most benefit. Nordic Walking - power walking using ski poles...
Indeed, several reports of noninvasive fetal sex determination using PCR- based amplification of Y-chromosome-specific sequences, such as the DYS marker or the SRY gene,11,12 have been published, and this method is reliable, with high sensitivity and specificity, as confirmed by numerous studies...
2 and Supplementary Notes), so we used DEA to identify a set of genes that were specific for STAB1 + Mɸ compared to tumour AIMɸ or AMɸ. We identified 20 genes, from here on referred to as “STAB1 signature genes” (Fig. 5I). Interestingly, STAB1 + Mɸ uniquely...
