SBOannotator: a Python tool for the automated assignment of systems biology ontology terms.

Motivation: The number and size of computational models in biology have drastically increased over the past years and continue to grow. Modeled networks are becoming more complex, and reconstructing them from the beginning in an exchangeable and reproducible manner is challenging. Using precisely defined ontologies enables the encoding of field-specific knowledge and the association of disparate data types.

[Cardiac death and acute myocardial infarct after psychological or physical stress--causality questions and insurance law].

Often, it is the question to the medical expert, if there is a causality in the lawful sense from professional effort or psychical stress to acute coronary death or acute myocardial infarction. Following the German social law the connection has to be probably. Probability is well defined juridically opposite to possibility.

[Myocardial infarct and occupational accident].

According to our knowledge to day the cause of a heart infarction is a stenosing atheromatosis of the coronary vessels or an associated coronary thrombosis. Here are described two cases with unusual precipitating factors of a heart infarction, one by an anaphylactic reaction caused by smallpox vaccination, the other case caused by a very intensive stress situation. As the basic condition in the two cases was accepted a coronary heart disease but the described events were considered by the author as the determinating concomitant cause for the social accident insurance in consequence of their intensity and acuteness.

Behavioral effects of aluminum ingestion on animal and human subjects.

Abnormally high brain aluminum concentrations have been detected in hemodialysis patients who died of an unexplained encephalopathy. As a result, this study was undertaken to examine whether the ingestion of aluminum produces behavioral aberrations in non-dialysed human subjects and rats with ostensibly normal renal function. Rats were fed AlCl3 by intubation in varying doses, and tests measuring learning ability, visual temporal acuity, motor coordination and activity were administered.

Some interrelationships between plasma levels of LH, FSH, oestradiol 17beta, androgens and semen analysis data in male infertility patients.

Serum LH, FSH and immunoreactive testosterone-like substances (TLS) have been measured by radioimmunoassay in 130 male infertility patients and oestradiol 17beta in 26 cases. A weak but significant negative correlation was found between FSH and sperm count (rs = -0.19, p less than 0.
