Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions vary among cities mainly because of variations in primary energy source, climate, and population densities.Neighbourhood characteristics such as area, configuration, land use, and road network could have further impact on these emissions variations.This study explores whether the neighbourhood types and their elements
IGF-1, IGFBP-1, and IGFBP-3 polymorphisms predict circulating IGF levels but not breast cancer risk: findings from the Breast and Prostate Cancer Cohort Consortium (BPC3).
IGF-1 has been shown to promote proliferation of normal epithelial breast cells, and the IGF pathway has also been linked to mammary carcinogenesis in animal models.We comprehensively examined the association between common genetic variation in the IGF1, IGFBP1, and IGFBP3 genes in relation to circulating IGF-I and IGFBP-3 levels and breast cancer
Iron requirement in the infection of Salmonella and its relevance to poultry health
Summary: Iron is essential for DNA synthesis, respiration, energy metabolism, and key metabolic reactions intrinsic to life because of its capability to accept and release electrons easily and its indispensability for most of the creatures on the earth including bacteria and poultry.Salmonella species, the gram-negative foodborne facultative anaero
Persistent Retinal Detachment in Retinoblastoma: The Challenges
Introduction.Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common eye tumor in children.There have been significant improvements in treatment options targeting killing the tumor while also conserving the eye and attempting to conserve functional vision.Retinal detachment (RD) is not an uncommon event and compromises the vision and sometimes RB treatment.Material
