Identification of native co-factors of MshB and MCA from Mycobacterium species
… (MshB) and mycothiol S-conjugate amidase (MCA). MshB catalyzes the deacetylation of GlcNAc-Ins to form GlcN-Ins and acetate. Mycothiol S-conjugate amidase (MCA) cleaves the amide bond of mycothiol S-conjugates of various drugs and toxins. The identification of the native co-factor is …

The burden of antenatally undiagnosed major congenital anomalies in live-born babies at a busy secondary level maternity hospital in the Western Cape
Background: Major congenital anomalies (MCA) account for considerable morbidity and disability in South Africa (SA) where there is a predicted birth prevalence of 27.5/1000 live births. There are limited data on MCA prevalence and impact on neonatal services in SA, especially the Western Cape …

Occluson Pattern in Circle of Willis: Prognostic Marker for Endovascular Treatment in Acute Carotid Terminus Occlusion
… divided patients into middle cerebral artery (MCA) only group and MCA plus group by CT angiography. Patients in MCA only group had only MCA occlusion whereas those in MCA plus group had other major intracranial artery occlusion such as ipsilateral A2, P2, or contralateral A2 resulting from CTO. …

The Medieval Climatic Anomaly and Its Impact on Health in the Pacific Rim: A Case Study From Canyon Oaks, California
… 800-1350, termed the Medieval Climatic Anomaly (MCA). The effect this climatic flux may have had on prehistoric populations was evaluated through a bioarchaeological analysisof the prehistoric skeletal remains found at CA-ALA-613/H, the Canyon Oaks development site in Pleasanton, California. The …

Helical reconstruction of Mycobacterium smegmatis Mycothiol S-conjugate amidase filaments
… toxins is Mycothiol S-conjugate amidase (Mca). Mca is similar to a biosynthetic enzyme MshB, which has partial overlapping substrate activity and is the closest homologue to Mca with a known structure. The basis for the substrate specificity differences in Mca and MshB is not well …

Identifying and Analyzing Medical Child Abuse Cases Through Collateral Sources
Medical Child Abuse (MCA) is a form of child maltreatment in which a caregiver exaggerates, feigns, or induces illness or injury in a child, resulting in unnecessary, and often harmful, medical procedures (Roesler & Jenny, 2008, p. 1). As a result of the deceptive nature of MCA, empirical research …

Monochloracetat in der Umwelt
… vorkommenden, phytotoxischen Monochloracetats (MCA) unter Verwendung einer Massenbilanz und eines Fugazitätsmodells zu erklären. Die grobe Bilanz offenbarte, dass atmosphärische Luft und Niederschlag am stärksten belastet sind. Somit ist Bildung in der Troposphäre mit anschließender Auswaschung, …

A paleoenvironmental reconstruction of the Elands Bay area using carbon and nitrogen isotopes in tortoise bone
… is the period of the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA). This implies that conditions were cool and wet during the LIA, and hot and dry during the early MCA. δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N values were higher during the early stages of the MCA (744-1 042 cal. BP), indicating drier conditions than in the late MCA …

Postnatal Maturation Modulates Cerebrovascular Myogenic Tone
… denuded, fura-2 loaded middle cerebral arteries (MCA) from pup (PI4) and adult (6 months old) SD rats. We studied the mechanism that govern myogenic tone and examined the hypothesis that during maturation, MCA from rat pups are more reliant on calcium influx and myofilament calcium sensitivity to …

Detection and potential impacts of nanomaterials released from building materials in the natural weathering environment
… two building materials, micronized copper azole (MCA) treated lumber and concrete with photoactive titanium incorporated with the cement, at five locations in the USA. MCA lumber released copper, but the amount and timing of release varied depending on the weathering climate. In humid areas, …

The Semantics of Multicopy Atomic ARMv8 and RISC-V
… versions of ARMv8 have non-multicopy-atomic (non-MCA) concurrency models. This thesis provides abstraction results for these, including a more abstract non-MCA ARMv8 storage subsystem model, and characterisations of the behaviour of mixed-size Power and non-MCA ARMv8 programs when using barriers …

Effect of head elevation on intracranial blood flow velocity following acute ischemic stroke
… degree HOB elevation on middle cerebral artery (MCA) mean flow velocity (MFV) in a convenience sample of 20 patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) sonography mounted by head frame was used to measure MCA MFV. Patients were on average 59.5 years of age (SD = …

Vascular receptor changes in ischemic stroke
… in the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA), which is accompanied by an increased expression of ET(B) receptors. 2. Organ culture of rat MCAs induces a time-dependent upregulation of contractile ET(B) receptors. The phenomenon is due to de novo transcription of the receptors and is …

Atomic emission misconceptions as investigated through student interviews and measured by the Flame Test Concept Inventory
… (LC) for multifunctional chemical analysis (MCA) systems. The large class sizes of first year chemistry labs makes it challenging to provide students with hands-on access to instrumentation because the number of students typically far exceeds the number of research grade instruments available …
