Disease relevance of MON1A

• Images in clinical medicine. Sand as a foreign body [1].
• Coliphage (< 1 to 1.2 x 10(3)/liter) were found during each quarterly sampling along an offshore transect to the Sand Island waste treatment facility outfall [2].
• We describe a new species of piroplasm from brown boobies (Sula leucogaster) on Sand Island, Johnston Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, central Pacific. Mean parasitemia in adults and chicks was less than 1%, with the parasitemia in chicks significantly greater than in adults [3].
• The Israeli Sand Rat (Psammomys obesus) is an excellent polygenic model for the study of obesity and diabetes [4].
• Familiarity of owners with two traditional methods of surra (trypanosomiasis) diagnosis ('Sand-ball test' and 'Hair-stick test') known to pastorilists was also probed [5].

Psychiatry related information on MON1A

• The healer-patient/family relationship in Vonda N. McIntyre's "Of Mist, and Grass, and Sand" [6].

High impact information on MON1A

• The expanding transcriptome: the genome as the 'Book of Sand' [7].
• The new oral formulation of cyclosporine (CsA), Neoral (CsA-N), results in increased area under the curve (AUC) and decreased intra- and interindividual variation in blood concentrations and other pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters when compared with the current Sand-immune (CsA-S) formulation [8].
• Food intake was restricted to 75% of ad libitum levels in 37 male Psammomys obesus (Israeli Sand Rats) from the ages of 4 (weaning) to 10 weeks [9].
• Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) was measured in 161 samples of liver, kidney, blood, or egg yolk from 21 species of fish-eating water birds collected in the United States including albatrosses from Sand Island, Midway Atoll, in the central North Pacific Ocean [10].
• BACKGROUND: Every year, thousands of suburban high school graduates from mid Atlantic states flock to nearby coastal beaches for a long-anticipated rite of passage known as "beach week." Sand, sun, and sea, and also smoking, binge drinking, drugs, and sex, are reported to be dominant themes [11].

Biological context of MON1A

• The Egyptian Sand Viper (Cerastes cerastes) crude venom and subfractions were, for the first time, shown to induce platelet aggregation with agonist activities present in two subfractions [12].
• Seedlings were produced by applying half-sib mating scheme on clones originating from two Deliblato Sand populations that were accommodated to common garden conditions [13].
• A century and a half of the history of the life sciences in ALABAMA. Dr. Marx Edgeworth Lazarus: the Sand Mountain Hermit [14].
• Exemplars were: Sand Castles: the unreliability of support systems; Tough Boys, Soft Hearts: feeling less powerless with a strong male; Erosion of Trust: the deterioration of trusted kin networks; and Staying the Course: the intergenerational nature of adolescent pregnancy [15].
• The result of the flow cytometry showed that there was a perturbation on human dental pulp cell cycle progression at the phases of Sand G2M with a dose-dependent manner [16].

Anatomical context of MON1A

• OBJECTIVE: Tumors located in posterior mediastinum that extends into spinal canal via intervertebral foramen are called as Dumb-bell or Sand-glass tumors [17].
• The first person to use the testis as a site of transplantation appears to have been Sand, who found in 1919 that an ovary transplanted into the substance of the testis developed follicles [18].
• METHODS: Sand rats (Psammomys obesus) underwent baseline measurements of VsEPs in response to linear and angular acceleration stimuli and measurement of the auditory nerve and brainstem evoked response (ABR) [19].
• The thyroid gland of Indian spiny tailed, Sand lizard, Uromastix hardwickii is in the form of a ribbon like structure situated beneath and across the trachea [20].

Associations of MON1A with chemical compounds

• To validate the method, rats were exposed for 6 h or 3 days to various concentrations of two reference materials: (1) a known fibrogenic material (i.e., aerosolized alpha-quartz silica particles in the form of Berkeley Min-U-Sil (Pennsylvania Glass and Sand Company, Pittsburgh, PA), or (2) carbonyl iron (CI) particles, as a negative control [21].
• Two types of implants were used (141 titanium plasma-sprayed and 124 Sand-blasted, large-grit, acid-etched) [22].
• Beach Sand Exploitation Centre at Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, produces commercial grade concentrations of magnetite, ilmenite, zircon, etc., from the high-grade accumulations available along the beach and foredune of Cox's Bazar [23].
• Cylinders of Type III gold alloy were sandblasted with either: 50 micron Aluminium Oxide particles (Group 1); CoJet Sand (Group 2); the CoJet System - CoJet Sand followed by application of silane primer (Group 3) [24].
• DDT, DDD, and DDE in abiotic media and near-shore marine biota from Sand island, Midway Atoll, North Pacific Ocean [25].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of MON1A

• Significant amounts of lignin precursors, commonly postulated to be the major source of DOM, were found only in trace quantities by thermochemolysis/gas chromatography/mass spectrometry of the Norman Landfill and Tomago Sand Bed hydrophobic DOM fractions [26].
• 2. Sand flathead (Platycephalus bassensis) was given 2-CSA by intraperitoneal injection at 0.15, 1.5, 15 and 75 mg/kg doses and, 4 days later, bile was collected and solvent extracted before and after enzymatic cleavage of conjugates [27].
