Disease relevance of Indian Ocean

 

Psychiatry related information on Indian Ocean

 

High impact information on Indian Ocean

  • During the last ice age, the Indian Ocean southwest monsoon exhibited abrupt changes that were closely correlated with millennial-scale climate events in the North Atlantic region, suggesting a mechanistic link [8].
  • Unexpectedly, under a similar regimen, pyridostigmine administration during the Persian Gulf War resulted in a greater than threefold increase in the frequency of reported central nervous system symptoms [9].
  • Two toxins, latrunculins A and B, which contain a new class of 16- and 14-membered marine macrolides attached to the rare 2-thiazolidinone moiety, were purified recently from the Red Sea sponge Latrunculia magnifica [10].
  • OBJECTIVE--To determine cause-specific mortality rates among US troops stationed in the Persian Gulf region and compare them with those of US troops serving elsewhere during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm [11].
  • Atropine poisoning in children during the Persian Gulf crisis. A national survey in Israel [12].

Associations of Indian Ocean with chemical compounds

  • The simulations adopt the aerosol radiative forcing from the Indian Ocean experiment observations and also account for global increases in greenhouse gases and sulfate aerosols [25].
  • The title compound, 16-epi-latrunculin B (3), has been isolated from the sponge Negombata magnifica collected from the Red Sea near Hurghada, Egypt. This new natural product was determined to be an epimer of latrunculin B (1), which was found in the same sponge collection [26].
  • The authors determined plasma cortisol levels, platelet levels of mitochondrial benzodiazepine receptors, and anxiety and depression scores in 11 civilians exposed to the Persian Gulf war [27].
  • Increased 5-hydroxytryptamine and norepinephrine release from rat brain slices by the Red Sea flatfish toxin pardaxin [28].
  • We tested the hypothesis that pyridostigmine bromide (PB) intake and/or low-level sarin exposure, suggested by some as causes of the symptoms experienced by Persian Gulf War veterans, induce neurobehavioral dysfunction that outlasts their effects on cholinesterase [29].
 

Gene context of Indian Ocean

  • The deficient alleles of FUT1 and FUT6 have a very low incidence and they have been found mainly around the Indian Ocean [30].
  • Two distinct cDNAs corresponding to GSTA1 and GSTA2 genes encoding glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) from the hepatopancreas of red sea bream, Pagrus major were cloned and sequenced [31].
  • There have been reports linking lowered PON1 activity to physical symptoms after deployment to the Persian Gulf War (PGW) of 1990 to 1991 [32].
  • Marine-derived macrolides latrunculins A and B, of the Red Sea sponge Negombata magnifica, are the first marine natural products that have been found to reversibly bind to actin monomers and to disrupt its organization [33].
  • Exploiting the extensive oncologic experience with G-CSF, which demonstrated its safety and absence of serious side effects the authors developed a clinical protocol for use of this drug in potential mustard gas victims in the Persian Gulf conflict [34].
