Record 5 2003-04-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Security
  • CBRNE Operations
CONT

Point detection refers to testing a sample that has been taken directly from the environment suspected of harboring the target agent. Needs in this regard include not only investigation of suspected sources of contamination but also monitoring the air/water systems in buildings for general pathogen contamination or contamination by specific biological agents. In point detection as in stand-off detection, many situations will demand neither exceptional sensitivity nor exceptional specificity. Assessment of the total microbial content may be sufficient to determine contamination and alert personnel to danger.

  • Sécurité
  • Opérations CBRNE

Record 6 1999-02-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
CONT

Six mutants harboring intragenic suppressor mutation exhibit full restoration of export to the mutant RBP, on the other hand, two mutants harboring extragenic suppressor mutation show partial restoration of export. One intragenic suppressor showed the decreased rate of migration of the RBP during SDS-PAGE that may be caused by a second mutation in mature part of RBP. Mapping experiments showed that at least an extragenic suppressor phenotype is not the result of mutation in prlA(sec Y) gene.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
OBS

Mutation suppressive : Mutation qui, associe à une première mutation, en compense les effets phénotypiques.

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
CONT

A homoplasmic mutation in the 12S rRNA gene, MTRNR1[ asterisk] DEAF1555G, has been found to correlate with neurosensory hearing loss. Additional factors may precipitate deafness in individuals harboring this mutation such as exposure to aminoglycoside antibiotics or other environmental or nuclear genetic factors.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
CONT

De plus, les divers ovocytes d'une femme qui a des cellules hétéroplasmiques ont des proportions variables d'ADN mitochondrial muté; ses enfants n'ont pas le même nombre de molécules d'ADN mitochondrial muté ni la même répartition de ces molécules dans les tissus; la nature et la gravité de leurs symptômes différeront. En revanche, une même mutation homoplasmique déclenche les mêmes symptômes.

Record 8 1996-08-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Conservative Dentistry
DEF

briefly, ... a method of removing bacterial plaque from teeth in order to help prevent tooth diseases.

CONT

Plaque control is the professionally activated motivation of the patient to learn and practice the control and prevention of dental and periodontal diseases (oral hygiene).

CONT

With the advent of antibiotics a few decades ago, investigators incorporated them into dentifrices and troches in an attempt to alter the plaque. The results of those tests in terms of plaque control and disease reduction were equivocal.

OBS

plaque : a film of mucus harboring bacteria on a tooth.
