Discriminatory ability of hypervariable variable number tandem repeat loci in population-based analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains, London, UK [PDF]
To address conflicting results about the stability of variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) loci and their value in prospective molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, we conducted a large prospective population-based analysis of all M ...

HOLWECK TYPE MOLECULAR PUMP [PDF]
The general design of a Holweck-type molecular pump is considered. The design consists of a stationary helical pumping groove cut inside a cylindrical bore and a closely fitting smooth cylindrical rotor spinning concentrically inside this housing. Approximate analytical expressions were obtained for the pumping speed and ultimate pressure ratio of this

Molecular typing methods for Neisseria meningitidis [PDF]
Neisseria meningitidis is an important pathogen because it causes life-threatening infections. The rapid course of meningococcal disease and the capacity of some serogroups to cause large-scale epidemics necessitates the use of sensitive, reliable and rapid typing methods to characterise strains. Molecular typing techniques for N. meningitidis are used

ABSTRACT Background While Wilms tumor (WT) typically has a favorable prognosis, relapsed cases—especially those with high‐risk histology—remain therapeutically challenging after intensive frontline therapy. The combination of vincristine and irinotecan has demonstrated activity in pediatric solid tumors, and pazopanib, a multi‐targeted tyrosine kinase ...
