Autoantibodies to intrinsic factor can jeopardize pernicious anemia diagnosis: a case report.

Vitamin B12 deficiency may cause neurological and hematological alterations. Its assessment should be easy considering that the access to its measurement is available in majority of the clinical laboratories. The presence of technical interference when measuring vitamin B12 can lead to an erroneous or a more difficult diagnosis of conditions as pernicious anemia.

Selecting two-photon sequential ionization pathways in H through harmonic filtering.

Recent experiments in gas-phase molecules have shown the versatility of using attosecond pulse trains combined with IR femtosecond pulses to track and control excitation and ionization yields on the attosecond timescale. The interplay between electron and nuclear motions drives the light-induced transitions favoring specific reaction paths, so that the time delay between the pulses can be used as the tracking parameter or as a control knob to manipulate the molecular dynamics. Here, we present simulations on the hydrogen molecule to demonstrate that by filtering the high harmonics in an attosecond pulse train one can quench or enhance specific quantum paths thus dictating the outcome of the reaction.

When Is Group Membership Zero-Sum? Effects of Ethnicity, Threat, and Social Identity on Dual National Identity.

This paper presents an investigation into marginalizing racism, a form of prejudice whereby ingroup members claim that specific individuals belong to their group, but also exclude them by not granting them all of the privileges of a full ingroup member. One manifestation of this is that perceived degree of outgroup membership will covary negatively with degree of ingroup membership. That is, group membership may be treated as a zero-sum quantity (e.

Elucidating the 2D magnetic topology of the 'metal-radical' TTTA⋅Cu(hfac)2 system.

The TTTA⋅Cu(hfac)2 polymer (1; in which TTTA = 1,3,5-trithia-2,4,6-triazapentalenyl, and hfac = (1,1,1,5,5,5)-hexafluoroacetylacetonate) is one of the most prominent examples of the rational use of the 'metal-radical' synthetic approach to achieve ferromagnetic interactions. Experimentally, the magnetic topology of 1 could not be fully deciphered. Herein, the first-principles bottom-up procedure was applied to elucidate the nature and strength of the magnetic JAB exchange interactions present in 1.
