Distribution of p53 codon 72 polymorphism in Indian primary open angle glaucoma patients.

Purpose: Glaucoma is a complex neurodegenerative disorder of the eye. Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) is the most common type, accounting for over half of the total cases. Recently, a significant difference in the distribution of the codon 72 polymorphism of the tumor suppressor gene p53 between control subjects and POAG patients of Chinese origin (p=0.

Studies on Anion Promoted Titania.1: Preparation, Characterization, and Catalytic Activity toward Alcohol and Cumene Conversion Reactions of Phosphated Titania.

Phosphate impregnated titania samples with varying amount of phosphate have been prepared by solid-solid kneading as well as aqueous impregnation method. All the samples are characterized by XRD, TG-DTA, and N(2) adsorption-desorption isotherm. Surface area is found to increase with the increase in phosphate content up to 7.

Dermatomycoses in and Around Jamnagar.

1 Three hundred clin ically diagnosed cases of dermatomycoses attending the skin out patients department, Irwin Group of Hospital, Jamnagar were studied mycologically. Dermatomycosis were found in 216 cases (72 percent) either by direct smear examination or by culture or by both. The commonest genus isolated was Trichophyton (79.

Measurement of turbulent fluctuations in high-speed flows using hot wires and hot films.

A hot wire has a limited life in high-speed wind-tunnel flows because it is typically subjected to large dynamic loads. As a consequence hot films and modified hot wires are frequently used for turbulence measurements in such flows. However, the fluctuation sensitivities of such probes are reduced because of various factors, leading to erroneous results.
