the 1930s. Each account is brief and well focused. The reader is then confronted with a long, often rambling discourse encompassing one migrant's entire life (1904-1978). A number of short statements about specific events (farming and moonshining) follow with no apparent reason for their placement in the book. Thus, on... |
To the Editor.— On Jan 1, 1988, the State of Illinois began requiring evidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody testing in all persons applying for a marriage license. Although the law does not prohibit HIV-infected individuals from getting married, it does require documentation of testing. Individuals ca... |
Introduction The incidence of spontaneous resolution of vitreomacular traction (VMT) is low in studies of Ocriplasmin that have had a limited follow-up. Previous studies did not look for morphological parameters in the natural history using spectral-domain ocular coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging. The purpose of th... |
AIM |
To assess lipid profile and the genotype distribution of lipoprotein lipase gene polymorphism at Pvu II polymorphic site within the intron between exons 6 and 7 in patients with hypertriglyceridemia. |
METHODS |
Pvu II polymorphism was determined in 116 hypertriglyceridemic patients and 50 normolipidemic controls from Zagreb, Croatia. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Polymerase chain reaction was used for amplification of 6th intron, which was then restricted with Pvu II-restriction endonuclease. Seru... |
RESULTS |
Triglycerides showed a positive correlation with total cholesterol (r=0.222, 95% CI=0.041-0.389, p=0.017) and inverse correlation with HDL-cholesterol (r= -0.278, 95% CI= -0.449 to -0.088, p=0.005), especially with HDL3-cholesterol (r= -0.333, 95% CI= -0.497 to -0.147, p=0.001). The respective frequencies for genotypes... |
CONCLUSION |
There is an association between genetic variation at the locus for lipoprotein lipase and high serum triglyceride levels. This might prove useful in the detection of individuals susceptible to the development of hypertriglyceridemia, as well as a marker in the analysis of this genetic defect in patient families.Identif... |

OBJECTIVE |
The methods used to diagnose and classify ovarian cancer have changed over the past decade. We used hospital registry data to assess the incidence, treatment durations and hospital costs of ovarian cancer in Switzerland. |
METHODS |
We carried out a retrospective analysis of a hospital registry covering all inpatient care episodes in Switzerland between 1998 and 2012. Ovarian cancer incidence was assessed by identifying patients with a first ovarian cancer diagnosis as the main reason for hospital stay after an event-free period. We assessed the d... |
RESULTS |
The average age-adjusted incidence rate was 14.6 per 100,000 women per year between 2004 and 2012. This rate is substantially higher (+35.5%) than the corresponding rate published by the National Institute for Cancer Epidemiology and Registration (NICER). Hospital patient volume was low in most cases, with more than 40... |
CONCLUSIONS |
We found a substantial difference between the ovarian cancer incidence estimate based on hospital registry data and the corresponding estimate by NICER. The reasons for this substantial difference should be carefully explored. A case-wise comparison could determine whether the difference is due to over- or under-report... |
In this paper, the Chinese natural clinoptilolite was treated hydrothermally, with fusion with NaOH powder as pretreatment. High purity of zeolite Na-Y, Na-P and Na-A were identified as the reacted products, depending on the reaction conditions such as hydrothermal time and the Si/Al molar ratio in the gels. And their ... |
The high-resolution research tomograph (HRRT) is a dedicated human brain positron emission tomography scanner.
