The sensitivity of hyperfine structure to nuclear radius and quark mass variation

Description : To search for the temporal variation of the fundamental constants one needs to know dependence of atomic transition frequencies on these constants. We study the dependence of the hyperfine structure of atomic $s$-levels on nuclear radius and, via radius, on quark masses. An analytical formula has ...

Inventory of platforms towards the design of a statically balanced six degrees of freedom compliant precision stage

Description : For many applications in precision engineering, a six degrees of freedom (DoF) compliant stage (CS) with zero stiffness is desirable, to deal with problems like backlash, friction, lubrication, and at the same time, reduce the actuation force. To this end, the compliant stage (also known as complian...

Effects of intracoronary nicardipine and nifedipine on left ventricular function and coronary sinus blood flow

Description : 1 To determine the relative effects of nifedipine and nicardipine on left ventricular inotropy we directly injected into the left main coronary artery, in 12 patients with coronary artery disease, 20 min apart and in random order, 0.2 mg of each drug, which had previously been shown to increase coro...

No association between a polymorphism in the steroid metabolism gene CYP17 and risk of breast cancer.

Description : A recent study showed an association between a single base substitution, T-->C, in the promotor region of the CYP17 gene, the risk of breast cancer and age at menarche in Asian, African-American and Latino women from California and Hawaii. The C allele was associated with increased risk of breast ca...

Genetic susceptibility according to three metabolic pathways in cancers of the lung and bladder and in myeloid leukemias in nonsmokers.

Description : BACKGROUND: We chose a set of candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to investigate gene-environment interactions in three types of cancer that have been related to air pollution (lung, bladder and myeloid leukemia). PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study has been conducted as a nested case-contr...

4-Aminobiphenyl-hemoglobin adducts and risk of smoking-related disease in never smokers and former smokers in the european prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition prospective study

Description : The aim of this study was to evaluate whether biomarkers of environmental tobacco smoke exposure [i.e., 4-aminobiphenylhemoglobin (4-ABP-Hb) adducts] were predictive of the risk of tobacco-related cancers and diseases. We did a casecontrol study nested within the European Prospective Investigation i...

DNA adducts and lung cancer risk: a prospective study.

Description : Objectives were to investigate prospectively the ability of DNA adducts to predict cancer and to study the determinants of adducts, especially air pollutants. DNA adducts were measured in a case-control study nested in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) investiga...

Quantitative analysis of DNA methylation after whole bisulfitome amplification of a minute amount of DNA from body fluids

Description : Cell-free circulating DNA isolated from the plasma of individuals with cancer has been shown to harbor cancer-associated changes in DNA methylation, and thus it represents an attractive target for biomarker discovery. However, the reliable detection of DNA methylation changes in body fluids has prov...

A genome-wide association scan on estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer

Description : Introduction: Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease and may be characterized on the basis of whether estrogen receptors (ER) are expressed in the tumour cells. ER status of breast cancer is important clinically, and is used both as a prognostic indicator and treatment predictor. In this study, we...
