Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIdentification of Venom-Specific Fingerprints of Clinically Relevant Uruguayan Snakes by MALDI-TOFNorma Suarez, Victor MoraisSnakebite envenomation is a particular public health problem in many areas of the world, including extensive areas of Latin America. In particular, in Uruguay, snakebite accidents are caused by two snakes of the genus Bothrops: Bothrops alternatus and Bothrops pubescens. The only effective treatment available is the administration of the specific antivenom. Although there is an ELISA that allows the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 26 Jul 2019 · 8,205 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImprovement of Nuclear Track Density Measurements Using Image Processing TechniquesA. Mostofizadeh, X. Sun, M. R. KardanThe well known edge detection methods were applied to evaluate accuracy and precision of nuclear track densitometry of polycarbonate detector. All measurements carried out in two cases of before and after improvement of track images. Considering the overlapping phenomenon -including double and triple tracks- experimental and statistical results showed that not only each particular edge detection method affects the accuracy … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,427 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlatelet Derived Growth Factor-A mRNA Levels in Diabetic and Nondiabetic Subjects at Risk of Coronary Heart DiseaseSalman A.H. AlrokayanCoronary heart disease (CHD) is the number one cause of death in developed countries. We investigated the quantity of platelet derived growth factor-A mRNA (PDGF-A mRNA) among four different groups of diabetic and nondiabetic Saudi subjects (n = 40) at risk of CHD. Total RNA was derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMN) and PDGF-A mRNA reverse transcribed into cDNA … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,676 accessesView PDF Cite
