Partielle Resistenz Chorea Huntington transgener Mäuse gegen globale cerebrale Ischämie
… as well as neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's disease (HD). Surprisingly it has been found that HD transgenic mice are resistant to intrastriatal injections of excitotoxic substances. We investigated whether HD transgenic mice are also resistant to global cerebral ischemia, …

Marine Interstitial Tardigrades and Other Meiofauna of Huntington Beach, South Carolina.
<p>At Huntington Beach, SC meiofauna distribution was investigated. The purpose of the study was to determine tardigrade species present and any significant differences in the distribution pattern. Meiofauna were analyzed to determine if there were significant differences in their distribution …

Silencing mutant Huntingtin by RNA interference for the treatment of Huntington Disease
Huntington Disease (HD) is a dominantly inherited neurological disease attributed to a CAG expansion within the HD gene. The HD mutation gives rise to a polyglutamine expansion in exon 1 of the protein huntingtin (Htt). Since the discovery of the HD mutation in 1993, various HD gene mouse models …

Analysis of Huntington Disease Caregiver Quality of Life Using The Enroll-Hd Population
<p>Huntington disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative condition inherited in an autosomal dominant manner caused by a CAG triplet repeat expansion within the <em>HTT</em> gene. Thus, HD is unique among neurodegenerative disorders with a caregiver population often burdened by both the caregiver role and …

Said-Huntington Discourse Analyzer : a machine-learning tool for classifying and analyzing discourse
… I have developed a prototype tool "Said-Huntington Discourse Analyzer" that machine classifies news articles on a normative scale -- a scale that measures "clash of civilization" polarization in an article on the basis of conflict. The tool also extracts semantically meaningful …

Molecular investigation of the trinucleotide repeats within the Huntington disease gene in Southern Africa
Huntington disease (HD) is an autosom 1 dominant, progressive neurodegenerative condition, which usually presents in mid-life. The disease-causing mutation was identified in 1993 and entails the expansion of an unstable repeat (CAG)n within exon 1 of the, HD gene (IT-15). A polymorphic (CCG)n …

Das R6/2-Mausmodell der Chorea Huntington : verhaltensbiologische Charakteristika und der Einfluss ihres Diabetes mellitus
R6/2 transgenic mice express exon 1 of the human Huntington`s disease (HD) gene with an increased CAG repeat length and develop a progressive neurological phenotype. Some of these mice were also found to develop a diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to search for behavioural tests that are …
