Acrocomia aculeata as an unreported cause of tricuspid regurgitation.

30 Aug 2009 Penetrating chest trauma can produce a wide range of lesions to cardiac structures. Some patients develop signs and symptoms of residual sequelae. We describe the case of an 11-year-old boy with severe tricuspid regurgitation caused by the thorn of ... Read more...

Effects of active silicon uptake by rice on 29Si fractionation in various plant parts.

28 Aug 2009 Rice (Oryza sativa L.) accumulates large amounts of silicon which improves its growth and health due to enhanced resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Silicon uptake and loading to xylem in rice are predominantly active processes performed by ... Read more...

Preparation of starch and soluble sugars of plant material for the analysis of carbon isotope composition: a comparison of methods.

28 Aug 2009 Starch and soluble sugars are the major photosynthetic products, and their carbon isotope signatures reflect external versus internal limitations of CO(2) fixation. There has been recent renewed interest in the isotope composition of carbohydrates, ... Read more...
