Direct detection experiments aimed at uncovering the elusive nature of dark matter (DM) have made significant progress in probing ever lower cross-sections for DM-nucleon interactions. At same time, an upper limit cross-section sensitivity region is present due to DM scattering Earth and atmosphere as a result never reaching detector. We investigate impact this effect both spin-dependent spin-independent In contrast previous studies that assume straight line path we employ semi-analytic...

SUMMARYSixty-one children with cerebral cysticercosis are presented. The commonest clinical manifestation was epilepsy or without focal signs in 43% of children, followed by the syndrome raised intracranial pressure 34% and meningoencephalitis 13%. CT scan positive 93% cases HAI test 86% so examined. Both were 80%. Skull X-ray revealed evidence calcification and/or 60%. Two died, one each subacute sclerosing panencephalitis tuberculous meningitis. Of those who improved on discharge, had 32%...
Infertility can result from a wide range of defects, behavioral, through germ cell development and maturation, to fertilization or embryo development. Many the hormones regulating these processes signal via G protein-coupled receptors, which in turn activate plasma membrane enzymes including phospholipase C (PLC)-β isoforms. Transgenic mice lacking functional Plc-β1 (Plc-β1 KO mice) have been noted severely impaired fertility, but there has little study reproductive affected by lack this...
SUMMARY Two children diagnosed as having idiopathic lurnbosacral plexopathy are presented. Although an apparently rare condition, it is probably underdiagnosed since difficult to recognise. Before such a diagnosis, careful exclusion of compressive and infiltrative lesions the spinal cord, cauda equina Iumbosacral plexus utmost importance.
