SYMPTOM FREQUENCY AND DEVELOPMENT OF A GENERIC FUNCTIONAL DISORDER SYMPTOM SCALE SUITABLE FOR USE IN STUDIES OF PATIENTS WITH IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME, FIBROMYALGIA SYNDROME OR CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME

Objectives: To describe the extent to which irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) exhibit symptom overlap, and to validate a patient-derived, generic symptom questionnaire.Methods: A patient-derived 61-item symptom-frequency questionnaire was completed by participants recruited through IBS,

Many dynamic models encounter numerical integration problems because of a large span in the dynamic modes.In this paper we develop a numerical integration JACKETS PUFFA scheme for systems that include a gas phase, and solid and liquid phases, such as a gas-solid reactor.The method is based on neglecting fast dynamic modes and Stained Glass Window H

Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are evolutionarily conserved in animals and plants, and play critical roles in the regulation of developmental gene expression.Here we show that the Arabidopsis Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) subunits CURLY LEAF (CLF), EMBRYONIC FLOWER 2 (EMF2) and FERTILIZATION INDEPENDENT ENDOSPERM (FIE) repress the expression
