Previous work has shown that hunger and food intake are lower in individuals on high-protein (HP) diets when combined with low carbohydrate (LC) intakes rather than with moderate carbohydrate (MC) …more

Fluoroacetaldehyde is converted to fluoroacetate and 4-fluorothreonine in Streptomyces cattleya indicating that it is the biosynthetic precursor of both of these secondary metabolites.

This review outlines the recent developments in uncovering the enzymes and intermediates involved in fluorometabolite biosynthesis in the bacterium Streptomyces cattleya. A particular emphasis is placed on the purification and …more

Purpose: To assess the technical success and early outcome of fluoroscopically guided transcervical fallopian tube recanalization (FTR) in mid-tubal occlusion following sterilization reversal surgery. Methods: From July 1995 to January …more

The 2,3,4-trideoxy-2,3,4-trifluoro hexose analogues of d-glucose and d-altrose were prepared and characterised and these novel sugar analogues were explored by 2D-(19)F-EXSY NMR for their potential to cross erythrocyte (red blood …more

BACKGROUND: Functional brain abnormalities have been repeatedly demonstrated in schizophrenia but there is little data concerning their progression. For such studies to have credibility it is first important to establish …more

A 29-year-old nulliparous patient was treated with uterine artery embolization (UAE) for a large symptomatic uterine fibroid, resulting in a marked reduction of the tumor volume. She subsequently conceived and …more

“Fogging” is the temporary loss of visibility of an infarct on CT which occurs in the subacute phase at about 2 weeks after stroke. It occurs in up to 40% …more

Homocystinuria due to 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency may present with variable neurological manifestations. Radiological features include white matter changes (leukoencephalopathy). Clinical, biochemical, and radiological response to treatment may again be variable. …more

In large clinical trials where outcome assessment is possible using questionnaires, it may be more cost-effective to mail them to patients than to conduct interviews in-person. However, nonresponse to mailed …more

Reaction of the bis- isonitrile complex [Mo2Cp2(mu-SMe)(3)(xylNC)(2)](BF4) (2b) with NaOH (suspension) under reflux in tetrahydrofuran produced, in quantitative yields, the A-alkylidyne species [Mo2Cp(mu-SMe) (3){mu-(5-C5H4)(xylN)CN(xyl)C}] (4), in which a deprotonated Cp …more

Polynuclear manganese complexes are used as precursors for the synthesis of manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnO NPs). Altering the thermal decomposition conditions can shift the nanoparticle product from spherical, thermodynamically-driven NPs …more

Objectives: Lacunar strokes account for 25% of all ischemic strokes and may represent the cerebral manifestation of a systemic small vessel vasculopathy of unknown etiology. Altered retinal vessel fractal dimensions …more
