BACKGROUND: Two polymorphisms, -260C/T and -651C/T, in the CD14 gene have been implicated in susceptibility to cancer.However, the results remain inconclusive.This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the association between the two polymorphisms and risk of cancer.METHODS: All eligible case-control studies published up to March 2014 were identified
Large- and medium-bodied terrestrial mammals of the Upper Berbice region of Guyana
Large mammals are key contributors to forest ecosystems globally, but Neotropical mammal populations are understudied.We employed remotely triggered camera traps and track surveys to assess the mammal community in the newly accessible upper Berbice region of Guyana.In a cumulative 2,821 trap nights between two camps and 14 km of track surveys we re
Interneurons secrete prosaposin, a neurotrophic factor, to attenuate kainic acid-induced neurotoxicity
Prosaposin (PS) is a secretory neurotrophic factor, as well as a regulator of lysosomal enzymes.We previously reported the up-regulation of PS and the possibility of its axonal transport by GABAergic interneurons after exocitotoxicity induced by kainic acid (KA), a glutamate analog.In the present study, we performed double immunostaining with PS an
Source First or Target First? Insight into the Order of Reading in Revision Using In-depth Interviews
While revision procedures have been studied in some detail in the literature on revision, the question of the order of reading during bilingual revision has hardly been investigated.This article explores this issue by analysing in-depth interviews conducted in Switzerland Computer HDD Mounting Bracket with translators in different professional cont
