We report the unusual case of a 45-year-old woman who presented with multiple episodes of small bowel obstruction.Initial exploratory lap-roscopy did not reveal an etiology of the obstruction.Subsequent upper endoscopy identified a non-obstructing gastric trichobezoar which could not be removed endoscopically but was not thought to be responsible f
The primary purpose of this two-phased study was to examine the structural validity and statistical utility of a racism scale specific to Black men who have sex with men (MSM) who resided in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area and Baltimore, Maryland.Phase I involved pretesting a 10-item racism measure with 20 Black MSM.Based on pretest findings,
Ras-GTPase-activating Tick Sprays SH3 domain-binding-proteins 1 (G3BP1) and 2 (G3BP2) are multifunctional RNA-binding proteins involved in stress granule nucleation, previously identified as essential cofactors of Old World alphaviruses.They are recruited to viral replication complexes formed by the Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), Semliki Forest virus (
Typhoons Bolaven (1215) and Lingling (1913) were two typhoons that went directly north to hit Heilongjiang province and caused heavy rain.Both of them changed in the process of going north to the inland.The tropical cyclone yearbook, Fengyun cloud top brightness temperature data, conventional observation data and NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data were used
The entry of influenza virus into the host cell requires fusion of its lipid envelope with the host membrane.It is catalysed by viral hemagglutinin protein, whose fragments called fusion peptides become inserted into the target bilayer and initiate its merging with the viral membrane.Isolated fusion peptides are already capable of inducing lipid mi
