AGE STANDARDIZATION OF RATES: A NEW WHO STANDARD
A recent WHO analysis has revealed the need for a new world standard population (see attached table). This has become particularly pertinent given the rapid and continued declin...
Redox Regulation of Fos and Jun DNA-Binding Activity in Vitro
The proto-oncogenes c- fos and c- jun function cooperatively as inducible transcription factors in signal transduction processes. Their protein products, Fos and Jun, form a het...
Prevention of Rickets and Vitamin D Deficiency in Infants, Children, and Adolescents

Deficits in Psychologic and Classroom Performance of Children with Elevated Dentine Lead Levels
To measure the neuropsychologic effects of unidentified childhood exposure to lead, the performance of 58 children with high and 100 with low dentine lead levels was compared. C...
The Coronavirus Spike Protein Is a Class I Virus Fusion Protein: Structural and Functional Characterization of the Fusion Core Complex
ABSTRACT Coronavirus entry is mediated by the viral spike (S) glycoprotein. The 180-kDa oligomeric S protein of the murine coronavirus mouse hepatitis virus strain A59 is posttr...

Estimation of evolutionary distances between homologous nucleotide sequences.
By using two models of evolutionary base substitutions--"three-substitution-type" and "two-frequency-class" models--some formulae are derived which permit a simple estimation of...
