In this study, the entire coding sequence and the exon-intron junctions of the thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) gene from 200 Japanese individuals were screened for mutation. Three novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified-106G>A in exon 3 (Gly36Ser, *20 allele), 967A>G in 3'-untranslated region, and -87C>T in intron 8. The allele frequencies were 0.003 for 106G>A, 0.003 for 967A>G, and 0.010 for IVS8 -87C>T. In addition, the three known SNPs, 474T>C (Ile158Ile), 719A>G (Tyr240Cys, *3C allele), and IVS4 +35C>T were detected at frequencies of 0.299, 0.010, and 0.421, respectively.

Environmental pollution has been a significant concern for the last few years. The leather industry significantly contributes to the economy but is one of Bangladesh's most prominent polluting industries. It is also responsible for several severe diseases such as cancer, lung diseases, and heart diseases of leather workers because they use bleaching agents and chemicals, and these have numerous adverse effects on human health.

Purpose: Stanford Type B Aortic Dissection (TBAD), a critical aortic disease, has exhibited stable mortality rates over the past decade. However, diagnostic approaches for TBAD during routine health check-ups are currently lacking. This study focused on developing a model to improve the diagnosis in a population.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent clinical arrhythmia, posing significant mortality and morbidity challenges. Outcomes of current catheter ablation treatment strategies are suboptimal, highlighting the need for innovative approaches. A major obstacle lies in the inability to comprehensively assess both structural and functional remodelling in AF.

Field studies of social behaviour are challenging due to the need to record or infer interactions between multiple individuals, often under suboptimal environmental conditions or with potential disturbance by observers. Due to the limited field techniques available, we present a novel method to quantify social behaviours in the field by comparing the counts of individuals caught in traps across multiple locations sampled simultaneously. The distribution of individuals between traps gives the extent of aggregation, and phenotypic data allow for inference of non-random assortment.

Introduction: Many studies have documented the profound impact that the mother-child relationship has on child sociality and behavior. However, the biological mechanisms that govern the relationship are poorly understood. We developed a mother-child emotional preparation program (MCEP), based on a novel autonomic nervous system learning mechanism.
