Chemotherapy with MOPP (nitrogen mustard, vincristine, procarbazine and prednisone) was started. This was initially successful, but new exacerbations of the disease occurred, with mainly abdominal manifestations, and the patient succumbed on May 21, 1973, ten months after the diagnosis was made. An autopsy confirmed th... |
This work deals with a trimeric bacterial protein, RhCC, which, although belonging to the tautomerase superfamily, shows oxygenase activity. A model of the complex from RhCC and substrate 4‐hydroxyphenylenolpyruvate (4HPP), fitting the observation of extra electron densities from X‐ray diffraction of the crystal, could... |
Jacob Dorman’s work on Black Israelite religion contributes to a new set of recent books on richer notions of culture and specifically on the complex ways that African diasporic religious traditions have developed and changed over time and space. The term “Black Israelite” refers to African Americans who held the belie... |
In many ways the pineal is an ideal endocrine gland for the biological psychiatrist. The gland is small, circumscribed and relatively homogeneous, so it can be studied either in tissue culture or in vivo. The results from such studies combine to give a well-characterized model for investigating noradrenergic neurotrans... |
A number of essential biological functions are controlled by proteins that bind to specific sequences in genomic DNA. In this article we present a simplified model for analyzing DNA‐protein interactions mediated exclusively by hydrogen bonds. Based on this model, an optimized algorithm for geometric pattern recognition... |

AIM |
The purposes of this study are: (1) to evaluate symptomatology and psychological well-being, according to Ryff's theoretical model, of two groups of drug dependent patients in residential structures compared with a control; (2) to explore the impact of dual diagnosis, pharmacological therapy, duration of stay in struct... |
METHODS |
The sample is formed by 61 drug-dependent patients and 65 controls. Each subject completed two self-administered scales: Kellner's Symptom Questionnaire-SQ and Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scales-PWB. Differences in PWB and SQ mean scores between clinical and control subjects and within clinical group, for each spec... |
RESULTS |
Clinical group had significantly lower levels of all six PWB dimensions and SQ scores compared to the controls. Dual diagnosis did not produce any significant effect on PWB and SQ general scores, except for the PWB dimension of positive social relations. Pharmacological therapy had a slightly significant effect only on... |
DISCUSSION |
We found that drug dependence is associated with high degree of symptomatology and the lack of positive psychological functioning in specific areas. Improving positive psychological functioning of this population could be a good way to intervene on specific problems which could interfere with treatment continuity.The p... |
The legacy of human-Neandertal interbreeding Non-African humans are estimated to have inherited on average 1.5 to 4% of their genomes from Neandertals. However, how this genetic legacy affects human traits is unknown. Simonti et al. combined genotyping data with electronic health records. Individual Neandertal alleles ... |
