In vitro skin absorption and decontamination of sulphur mustard : Comparison of human and pig-ear skin
(2001)The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of an in vitro skin diffusion cell system as a model for assessing decontaminants against the chemical warfare agent sulphur mustard (SM). The in vitro absorption rates of SM ... -
The aetiology of subacromial impingement syndrome
(2001)Subacromial impingement syndrome has been described as the most common form of shoulder pathology (Jobe and Jobe, 1983; Kessel and Watson, 1977). Neer (1972, 1983) argued that 100% of impingement lesions and 95% of rotator ... -
Effects of temperature on germination and hyphal growth from ascospores of A-group and B-group Leptosphaeria maculans (phoma stem canker of oilseed rape)
(2001)Ascospores of both A-group and B-group Leptosphaeria maculans germinated at temperatures from 5-20degreesC on distilled water agar or detached oilseed rape leaves. After 2 h of incubation on water agar, some A-group ... -
Cuticle heterogeneity as exhibited by Pasteuria spore attachment is not linked to the phylogeny of parthenogenetic root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.)
(2001-01)The cuticle is a major barrier prohibiting the infection of nematodes against micro-organisms. The attachment of bacterial spores of the nematode hyperparasite Pasteuria penetrans (PPI) to field populations of root-knot ... -
Azithromycin : An assessment of its pharmacokinetics and therapeutic potential in CAPD
(2001)◆ Background: Azithromycin is an azalide antibiotic with a similar antibacterial spectrum to erythromycin but with greater gram-negative activity. Azithromycin displays a favorable pharmacokinetic profile, with improved ... -
Subacromial impingement syndrome : Has evolution failed us?
(2001)Evolution has endowed the human shoulder girdle with a unique range of movement, that when combined with elbow movement enables the hand to perform a myriad functions. Although the human shoulder girdle is capable of large ... -
Effects of supplementary potassium and phosphorus on physiological development and mineral nutrition of cucumber and pepper cultivars grown at high salinity (NaCl)
(2001)Two cucumber (Cucumis sativus) cultivars, Seraset F and Rabina F, and two pepper (Capsicum annuum) cultivars, California Wonder and Charliston 52, were grown hydroponically for six weeks to investigate the effectiveness ... -
Growth enhancement by supplementary phosphorus and iron in tomato cultivars grown hydroponically at high zinc
(2001)A short term experiment with tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) cvs. Blizzard, Liberto, and Calypso was carried out in a controlled temperature room to investigate the effectiveness of phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe) supplemented ... -
An experiment to investigate the ameliorative effects of foliar potassium phosphate sprays on salt-stressed strawberry plants
(2001)A pot experiment was carried out with strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch) cvv. Oso Grande and Camarosa in sand culture to investigate the effects of foliar application of 4 mM KHPO to plants grown both at high NaCl ... -
A long-term experiment to study the role of mulches in the physiology and macro-nutrition of strawberry grown under water stress
(2001)Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch) cv. 'Oso Grande' was grown in the field from July 1999 to May 2000 in order to investigate the effectiveness of different mulch types on fruit yield, quality (i.e. soluble dry matter, ... -
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor concentration dependently improves disability and motor activity in MPTP-treated common marmosets
(2001-01-19)Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has previously reduced motor deficits and preserved nigral dopamine neurones in rhesus monkeys with a unilateral MPTP-induced lesion of substantia nigra. We now report on ... -
Epidemiology and management of Leptosphaeria maculans (phoma stem canker) on oilseed rape in Australia, Canada and Europe
(2001-02)Phoma stem canker (blackleg), caused by Leptosphaeria maculans, is an important disease on oilseed rape (canola, rapeseed, Brassica napus, Brassica juncea, Brassica rapa) causing seedling death, lodging or early senescence ... -
Modelling the effects of temperature and wetness duration on development of light leaf spot on oilseed rape leaves inoculated with Pyrenopeziza brassicae conidia
(2001-02)A model was developed to describe the effects of temperature and leaf wetness duration in controlled-environment experiments on the development of light leaf spot on oilseed rape (cv. Bristol) leaves inoculated with ... -
GDNF reverses priming for dyskinesia in MPTP-treated, L-DOPA-primed common marmosets
(2001-02)Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with a progressive loss of dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra and degeneration of dopaminergic terminals in the striatum. Although L-DOPA treatment provides the most effective ... -
Modelling the progress of light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) on winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in relation to leaf wetness and temperature
(2001-04)A compartmental model was developed to describe the progress with time of light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) on leaves of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus) during the autumn in the UK. Differential equations ...
