Development of a Solution Method to Promote Proper Bandaging Techniques for Transfemoral Amputees by Lalla, Bhaveen

“…Target bandage lengths are expected to apply adequate pressure, while covering the exposed area of the residual limb for the current bandaging step. Testing occurred on an anatomically correct residual limb model (ACM) and five constructed models (CM) assembled by altering proximal and distal ACM circumferential measurements in increments of 5 cm. …”

Whole-exome sequencing of cases with familial cardiomyopathy by Spracklen, Timothy

“…The potential role of POLG in human cardiomyopathy and arrhythmic phenotypes is a finding that should be explored further, as should the putative role of ITGB5 in paediatric cardiomyopathy. This study indicates how exome sequencing, combined with in vivo functional analysis, can identify variants that are likely to contribute to disease in human patients. …”

Iras oxygen- and carbon-rich miras close to the galactic plane by Leeuw, Lerothodi La Pula

“…The oxygen and carbon-rich Miras, respectively, have mean periods and K half-amplitudes of 386 days and 0.36 mag and 442 days and 0.46 mag. Statistical tests showed that the probability that the period distribution functions of the oxygen and carbon-rich stars came from the same population was very small: 0.00055. …”

Characterization of a plasminogen activator from human melanoma cells cultured in vitro by Heussen, Christa, Heussen, Christa

“…A study of the distribution of plasminogen activators in tissues and body fluids obtained from a number of animals showed that all mammals examined had two immunochemically distinct plasminogen activators that corresponded, in their distribution, to the urokinase-like and Mel-PA-like enzymes of man. Antibodies to human Mel-PA cross-reacted with the corresponding enzyme in all mammals tested, whereas antibodies to human urokinase were species specific. …”

In vitro modelling of cellular haemozoin and inhibition by β-haematin inhibitors and their derivatives by Openshaw, Roxanne

“…Further investigations into the exchangeable haem amounts as a function of intracellular test compound amounts at the IC50 values of these β-haematin inhibitors highlighted that there was an apparent 1:1 relationship with the amount of intracellular exchangeable haem, indicative of complex formation. …”
