AlphaBeta: computational inference of epimutation rates and spectra from high-throughput DNA methylation data in plants.

Stochastic changes in DNA methylation (i.e., spontaneous epimutations) contribute to methylome diversity in plants.

Calibration-Free Laser-Induced Plasma Analysis of Nanoparticle-Doped Material Using Self-Absorption Correction Methodologies.

The qualitative and quantitative analysis of doped nanomaterial containing iron (Fe) and tin (Sn) nanoparticles was investigated using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Doped nanoparticles were prepared via co-precipitation and hydrothermal processes. The emission spectra of ablated plasma of doped material revealed the existence of different species in the doped nanomaterial.

Cefuroxime antacid interactions.

Cefuroxime sodium a second generation semi-synthetic cephalosporin is effective for treating meningitis, lower respiratory tract infections, gonorrhea, bone and joint infections and is approved for surgical prophylaxis. There are number of synergistic and as well as antagonistic drug interactions reported for this antibiotic. Withstanding to gastric irritations caused by this antibiotic, antacids may possibly be co-administered with cefuroxime, which may result in severe adverse drug interaction.

Laparoscopic appraisal of infertility and pelvic pain in Pakistani women: a 5 years audit.

Five hundred and nine Laparoscopic examinations performed between 1987-91, (147 procedures for evaluation of gynaecologic pelvic pain and 313 for infertility) revealed ectopic pregnancy (27%), twisted ovarian cyst (18%) and acute pelvic inflammatory disease (14%) in cases of acute gynaecologic pain, and endometriosis (17%) and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (16%) in chronic pelvic pain. Adhesions (20%), tubal block (15%), endometriosis (9%) and polycystic ovary (7%) were common findings in cases of infertility. These data support the usefulness of this minimally invasive procedure in accurate diagnosis of gynaecological disorders and provides insight into the spectra of diseases seen in Pakistani women with pelvic pain and infertility.
