A novel form of human disease with a protease-sensitive prion protein and heterozygosity methionine/valine at codon 129: Case report
(BioMed Central, 2010-10)
Background: Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder in humans included in the group of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies or prion diseases. The vast majority of sCJD cases are ...
Why are we fat? Discussions on the socioeconomic dimensions and responses to obesity
(BioMed Cental, 2010-04)
This paper draws together contributions to a scientific table discussion on obesity at the European Science Open Forum 2008 which took place in Barcelona, Spain. Socioeconomic dimensions of global obesity, including those ...
Mechanisms of action of Methylthioadenosine: pathways implicated in neuroprotection in models of Multiple Sclerosis and other neurological diseases
(BioMed Central, 2010-11-25)
Background
Methylthioadenosine (MTA) has anti-oxidant and anti-proliferative properties and was shown to induce cell protection in hepatic cells. We previously demonstrated that exert immunomodulatory and neuroprotective ...
A TaqMan real-time PCR based assay targeting plaice (Pleuronectes platessa L.) DNA to detect predation by the brown shrimp (Crangon crangon L.) and the shore crab (Carcinus maenas L.)—Assay development and validation
(Elsevier, 2010-07-14)
We describe a protocol for the preservation, extraction, and detection of plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) DNA from the stomach contents of the brown shrimp, Crangon crangon and the shore crab, Carcinus maenas. These two ...

Brillouin distributed sensor using RF shaping of pump pulses
(IOP, 2010)
We introduce a novel configuration for long-range Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA) sensors that is based on shaping the pump pulses in the radio frequency instead of the optical domain. This results in a ...
A statistical investigation into the sharing of common genetic factors between blood pressure and obesity phenotypes in nuclear families from the Greater Bilbao (Spain)
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2010)
Objectives: Several obesity phenotypes (e.g. body mass and fat, fat distribution) have been suggested to be a risk for elevated blood pressure. This study was undertaken to determine the heritability of four blood pressure ...
Translating propositional extended conjunctions of Horn clauses into Boolean circuits
(Elsevier, 2010-01-25)
Horn⊃ is a logic programming language that extends usual Horn clauses by adding intuitionistic implication in goals and clause bodies. This extension can be seen as a way of structuring programs in logic programming. We ...
DNA methylation epigenotypes in breast cancer molecular subtypes
(BioMed Central, 2010-09-29)
Introduction: Identification of gene expression-based breast cancer subtypes is considered a critical means of prognostication. Genetic mutations along with epigenetic alterations contribute to gene-expression changes ...
