Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Studying Spatial Patterns and Association Between these Patterns of Mortality and Prosperity in MalaysiaFaisal G. Khamis, Abdul Aziz Jemain, Kamarulzaman IbrahimIn this study, we examined the geographical distribution (the spatial structure) of mortality and prosperity in Malaysia. In addition we proposed an approach to investigate the association between clustering patterns of mortality and prosperity across different areas of the country. To characterize the geographic pattern of mortality and prosperity, three indicators (infant, neonatal, and stillbirth) were proposed for mortality and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,935 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPeripheral Blood Leukocyte Production of BDNF following Mitogen Stimulation in Early Onset and Regressive AutismAmanda Enstrom, Charity Onore, Angela Tarver et al.Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is critical for neuronal differentiation and synaptic development. BDNF is also implicated in the development of psychological disorders including depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Previously, elevated BDNF levels were observed in neonatal blood samples from infants who were later diagnosed with autism when compared with children who developed normally, suggesting that BDNF may be involved in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 8,525 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRat Cardiomyocytes Express a Classical Epithelial Beta-DefensinAnnika Linde, Gerald H. Lushington, Frank Blecha, Tonatiuh MelgarejoBeta-defensins (BDs) are classical epithelial antimicrobial peptides of immediate importance in innate host defense. Since recent studies have suggested that certain BDs are also expressed in non-traditional tissues, including whole heart homogenate, and because effector molecules of innate immunity and inflammation can influence the development of certain cardiovascular disease processes, we hypothesized that BDs are produced by cardiomyocytes as a … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,994 accessesView PDF Cite
