Ionizing radiation and certain other exposures have been shown to induce genomic instability (GI), i.e., delayed genetic damage observed many cell generations later in the progeny of the exposed cells.The aim of this study was to investigate induction of GI by a nongenotoxic carcinogen, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD).Mouse embryonic fib
Ligation and dissection of internal mammary vessels is the most Sausage under-estimated complication of anterior mediastinotomy.However, patients requiring anterior mediastinotomy may experience long survival that makes the development of ischemic heart disease throughout their life possible.Therefore, the un-judicial sacrifice of the internal mamm
Background: Endoreplication is a variant cell cycle which generates massive DNA replication with no features of mitosis.In addition to abnormal occurrence of endoreplication in cancer cells, it is often found in plants and many different animal organs, such as liver, placenta, and Drosophila larval tissues.In treatment with anti-mitotic drugs, it h
In papers published in Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, many applications of fuzzy logic can be found.To commemorate the contributions of the fuzzy set theory proposed by Professor Lotfi Zadeh to Footwear the fields of civil engineering and construction management, seven papers were selected for this special issue.These papers combined
Loneliness, or perceived social isolation, is a leading predictor of all-cause mortality and is increasingly considered a public health epidemic afflicting significant portions of the general population.Chronic loneliness is itself associated with two of the most pressing public health epidemics currently facing the globe: the rise of mental illnes
