Clinical manifestation of Laryngeal Tuberculosis (2008)

Abdalla, H A, Ahmed, N

Background: Prevalence of laryngeal tuberculosis is rising due to the increase in risk factors like HIV/AIDS. Any part of the larynx can be affected. Diagnosis depends on high index of suspicion....

Ahmed, N.

This thesis explores and analyses recent changes and challenges faced by the apparel industry of Bangladesh and the consequences of those for the Bangladesh economy. More specifically, it explores...

The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene and ion channel function in patients with idiopathic pancreatitis (2005)

Bishop, MD, Freedman, SD, Zielenski, J, Ahmed, N, Martin, S, Dupuis, A, ...

Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutations are associated with cystic fibrosis (CF)-related monosymptomatic conditions, including idiopathic pancreatitis. We evaluated...

Proteomic-based identification of haptoglobin-1 precursor as a novel circulating biomarker of ovarian cancer. (2004)

Ahmed, N., Barker, G., Olivia, K. T., Hoffmann, Peter, Riley, C., Reeve, S., ...

Screening for specific biomarkers of early-stage detection of ovarian cancer is a major health priority due to the asymptomatic nature and poor survival characteristic of the disease. We utilised...

Ahmed, N., Barker, G., Olivia, K. T., Hoffmann, Peter, Riley, C., Reeve, S., ...

Screening for specific biomarkers of early-stage detection of ovarian cancer is a major health priority due to the asymptomatic nature and poor survival characteristic of the disease. We utilised...

Molecular consequences of cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene mutations in the exocrine pancreas (2003)

Ahmed, N, Corey, M, Forstner, G, Zielenski, J, Tsui, LC, Ellis, L, ...

Background and aims: We tested the hypothesis that the actual or predicted consequences of mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator gene correlate with the pancreatic phenotype and...

Experimental study of weak antilocalization effect in a high mobility InGaAs/InP quantum well (2002)

Studenikin, S. A., Coleridge, P. T., Ahmed, N., Poole, P., Sachrajda, A.

The magnetoresistance associated with quantum interference corrections in a high mobility, gated InGaAs/InP quantum well structure is studied as a function of temperature, gate voltage, and angle of...

Overexpression of αvβ6 integrin in serous epithelial ovarian cancer regulates extracellular matrix degradation via the plasminogen activation cascade (2002)

Ahmed, N., Pansino, F., Clyde, Riley, Murthi, P., Quinn, M. A., Rice, G. E., ...

Recent evidence suggests that integrins are involved in the multi-step process of tumour metastasis. The biological relevance of αv integrins and associated β-subunits in ovarian cancer metastasis...

The ανβ6 integrin regulates its own expression with cell crowding: implications for tumour progression (2001)

Niu, J., Gu, X., Ahmed, N., Andrews, S., Turton, J., Bates, R., ...

Expression of the growth-promoting integrin ανβ6 in colon cancer cells induces gelatinase B secretion and activation, the inhibition of which abolishes ανβ6-mediated tumour cell growth within a...

Cations and the mammalian brain. (1981)

Ahmed, N.

Thesis (Ph. D.)--University of Surrey, 1981.

Identification and preliminary characterization of protein-cysteine farnesyltransferase.

Manne, V, Roberts, D, Tobin, A, O'Rourke, E, De Virgilio, M, Meyers, C, ...

Ras proteins must be isoprenylated at a conserved cysteine residue near the carboxyl terminus (Cys-186 in mammalian Ras p21 proteins) in order to exert their biological activity. Previous studies...

Purification and Partial Characterization of Tomato Extensin Peroxidase.

Brownleader, M. D., Ahmed, N., Trevan, M., Chaplin, M. F., Dey, P. M.

Early plant defense response is characterized by elevation of activity of peroxidases and enhanced insolubilization of hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins, such as extensin, in the cell wall. The...

Transcriptional regulatory elements of the RAS2 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Lisziewicz, J, Brown, J, Breviario, D, Sreenath, T, Ahmed, N, Koller, R, ...

We have analyzed a series of 5' deletions of the RAS2 gene to investigate its complex transcriptional regulation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two positive transcriptional regulatory...

Acute regulation of glucose transport in a monocyte-macrophage cell line: Glut-3 affinity for glucose is enhanced during the respiratory burst.

Ahmed, N, Kansara, M, Berridge, M V

Activation of the respiratory burst imposes acute metabolic demands on phagocytic cells. These are met by mobilizing internal energy stores and by increasing the utilization of exogenous energy,...

Chloride channel activity of ClC-2 is modified by the actin cytoskeleton.

Ahmed, N, Ramjeesingh, M, Wong, S, Varga, A, Garami, E, Bear, C E

The chloride channel ClC-2 has been implicated in essential physiological functions, including cell-volume regulation and fluid secretion by specific epithelial tissues. Although ClC-2 is known to be...

Preserved allografts of dilated saphenous vein for vascular access in hemodialysis: an initial experience.
