Subtilisin isoinhibitors (SI) were isolated from jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis L) and broad bean (Vicia faba L) seeds. Jack beans contain three isoinhibitors (pI 6.6, 6.3 and 6.0) that constitute 0.021 g per 100 g of dry seeds, while the two active proteins from broad beans (pI 5.7 and 5.1) represent 0.028%. The molecular weight, determined by gel filtration, is around 8000 D in both legumes. La

Insoluble and soluble dietary fiber was evaluated according to the procedure of Asp et al., in cassava bread samples from different regions of Venezuela. The values for insoluble fiber were between 4.92 and 5.67% while soluble fiber ranged between 3.40 and 3.78% (dry basis). The starch content of cassava bread samples varied between 86.5 and 88.7% (dry basis). Cassava bread starch showed an elevat

Subtilisin inhibitors (SI) having an average molecular mass of 8 kDa purified from jack beans (Canavalia ensiformis) and broad beans (Vicia faba) to electrophoretical homogeneity are compared to those isolated from chick peas (Cicer arietinum) and black beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). The specificity spectrum of SI is restricted to microbial serine proteinases. Their interaction with subtilisin Carlsb

Subtilisin inhibitors were prepared from ethanol‐acetone precipitated seed extracts of chick peas, jack beans and broad beans, heated to destroy endogenous proteases. Trypsin inhibitors were complexed with trypsin and separated from subtilisin inhibitors by molecular sieve chromatography. The eluates were again heated to avoid tryptic degradation. The procedure was easy to handle and gave satisfac

The return of individual birds to a specific area in successional years, i.e. philopatry, is a remarkable behavioural trait. Here we report on the remarkably reversed: the complete absence of returning individuals of a migratory passerine with otherwise pronounced philopatry. At a high latitude study site in Abisko (68°32ʹN, 18°80ʹE) in northern Sweden none of the banded adult willow warblers Phyl

This chapter argues for the importance of understanding recognition of prior learning (RPL) through the critical social theories of Jürgen Habermas and Axel Honneth. Results from a research project exploring RPL for the accreditation of prior experiential learning in the healthcare sector in Sweden are used to develop the analysis. It is argued that RPL for accreditation could, by reflecting the r

Intracardiac hemodynamic forces have been proposed to influence remodeling and be a marker of ventricular dysfunction. We aimed to quantify the hemodynamic forces in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rToF) patients to further understand the pathophysiological mechanisms as this could be a potential marker for pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in these patients. Patients with rToF and PR>20% (n=18) and

A 4-year-old mentally retarded girl had congenital depigmentations of ventrolateral parts of the chest, abdomen, and legs. She also showed dysmorphic features of the head, thorax, and extremities, a pigmented ring in both irises, and a hernia of the left obliquus muscle. Cytogenetic investigations revealed deletion of chromosome 4 for the long arm segment q12-q21. The typical depigmentations, repo

Ten haemophilia centres in northern Europe have pooled data on 202 haemophilic children who were infected with HIV between 1979 and 1986. All cases were under 16 years of age on 1 July 1985. The age at infection ranged from 1-15 years. Thirty-seven cases (18%) had progressed to AIDS by 1 July 1991 and 15 of these have died. Persistent generalised lymphadenopathy has been noted in 102 patients of w

The series comprised 49 Swedish patients with severe haemophilia G [belonging to 49 families (21 with known and 28 with sporadic haemophilia)l, of whom 12 had developed F.VIII inhibitors. Using Southern blotting, 45% (22/49) were found to have inversions, i.e., intrachromosomal rearrangements of the tip of the X chromosome. Twenty patients had one or the other of the two variants of inversions rec
