Material Evidence of Sediments Recovered from Ancient Amphorae Found at the Potaissa Roman Fortress.

Methods for material investigation are powerful tools that allow specialists to elucidate important aspects regarding ancient artifacts such as the Roman amphorae deposits discovered at Potaissa Fortress in Turda, Romania. Archeological debate states that the deposit contained olive oil and wine amphorae, but no material evidence has been presented until now. The current research is focused on the most representative large amphora fragments found in the Potaissa deposit, with a significant amount of sediment on their walls, to give archeologists the material proof to elucidate their debate.

One Molecule for Mental Nourishment and More: Glucose Transporter Type 1-Biology and Deficiency Syndrome.

Glucose transporter type 1 (Glut1) is the main transporter involved in the cellular uptake of glucose into many tissues, and is highly expressed in the brain and in erythrocytes. Glut1 deficiency syndrome is caused mainly by mutations of the gene, impairing passive glucose transport across the blood-brain barrier. All age groups, from infants to adults, may be affected, with age-specific symptoms.

A general framework for quantifying uncertainty at scale.

In many fields of science, comprehensive and realistic computational models are available nowadays. Often, the respective numerical calculations call for the use of powerful supercomputers, and therefore only a limited number of cases can be investigated explicitly. This prevents straightforward approaches to important tasks like uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis.

[Sacrococcygeal teratoma in children. Anatomo-clinical, therapeutic and prognostic considerations].

Presentation of potentially malignant tumours, highly frequently found in children, developed out of embrionary remnants. Study of clinical observation files, iconography resources, histopathological samples and surgical operation notes, corroborated with patient's reexamination several years later. There are presented nine clinic cases of tumours found in newborn, babies and even in young children, with teratome-like structure, that have malignant potential if excised late.

[Intestinal tuberculosis in children. Differential diagnosis and treatment].

Lately, tuberculosis has became a top priority problem in health all over the world. The actual level of epidemiological indicates of tuberculosis Shaw that Romania is the country that has the most unfavorable situation in Europe except for Bosnia-Herzegovina. Tuberculosis incidence from 1996 to 1997 ranks Dolj county second in Romania from the point of view of the increasing rate (154.
