Abstract
Chromosome 13 is the largest acrocentric human chromosome. It carries genes involved in cancer including the breast cancer type 2 (BRCA2) and retinoblastoma (RB1) genes, is frequently rearranged in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, and contains the DAOA locus associated with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. We describe completion and analysis of 95.5 megabases (Mb) of sequence from chromosome 13, which contains 633 genes and 296 pseudogenes. We estimate that more than 95.4% of the protein-coding genes of this chromosome have been identified, on the basis of comparison with other vertebrate genome sequences. Additionally, 105 putative non-coding RNA genes were found. Chromosome 13 has one of the lowest gene densities (6.5 genes per Mb) among human chromosomes, and contains a central region of 38 Mb where the gene density drops to only 3.1 genes per Mb.

Abstract
The finished sequence of human chromosome 20 comprises 59,187,298 base pairs (bp) and represents 99.4% of the euchromatic DNA. A single contig of 26 megabases (Mb) spans the entire short arm, and five contigs separated by gaps totalling 320 kb span the long arm of this metacentric chromosome. An additional 234,339 bp of sequence has been determined within the pericentromeric region of the long arm. We annotated 727 genes and 168 pseudogenes in the sequence. About 64% of these genes have a 5' and a 3' untranslated region and a complete open reading frame. Comparative analysis of the sequence of chromosome 20 to whole-genome shotgun-sequence data of two other vertebrates, the mouse Mus musculus and the puffer fish Tetraodon nigroviridis, provides an independent measure of the efficiency of gene annotation, and indicates that this analysis may account for more than 95% of all coding exons and almost all genes.

Abstract
The human genome sequence will provide a reference for measuring DNA sequence variation in human populations. Sequence variants are responsible for the genetic component of individuality, including complex characteristics such as disease susceptibility and drug response. Most sequence variants are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), where two alternate bases occur at one position. Comparison of any two genomes reveals around 1 SNP per kilobase. A sufficiently dense map of SNPs would allow the detection of sequence variants responsible for particular characteristics on the basis that they are associated with a specific SNP allele. Here we have evaluated large-scale sequencing approaches to obtaining SNPs, and have constructed a map of 2,730 SNPs on human chromosome 22. Most of the SNPs are within 25 kilobases of a transcribed exon, and are valuable for association studies. We have scaled up the process, detecting over 65,000 SNPs in the genome as part of The SNP Consortium programme, which is on target to build a map of 1 SNP every 5 kilobases that is integrated with the human genome sequence and that is freely available in the public domain.

Abstract
Although cyclic AMP (cAMP) has been reported to cross talk with the protein kinase C (PKC) system, effects of elevated intracellular cAMP on the activities of specific PKC isoforms have not been studied. We report findings from a permeabilized cell assay that was used to examine changes in the activity of the atypical PKC isoforms brought about by exposure of PC12 cells to agents that elevate intracellular cAMP. We found that increases in intracellular cAMP led to rapid stimulation of atypical PKC activity, 40-70% above control, for a sustained period of time, a response that occurred independent of the phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-sensitive PKC isoforms. Changes in intracellular cAMP levels resulted in a dose-dependent redistribution of zeta-PKC to the cytoplasm with a concomitant increase in the phosphorylation state of the enzyme. Incubation of purified zeta-PKC with increasing concentrations of PKA likewise caused a twofold increase in the phosphorylation state of zeta-PKC. In contrast to the positive effect that PKA-mediated phosphorylation had on the activity of zeta-PKC, the enzyme displayed reduced binding to ras when phosphorylated. Taken together, these findings are consistent with the hypothesis that protein phosphorylation of PKC acts as a positive effector of its enzyme activity and may serve as a negative modulator for interaction with other proteins.

Abstract
The clinical details of two cases of typhoid fever in pregnancy are described. The first patient contracted the disease in the third trimester, with successful outcome for both mother and baby. The second patient became infected in the first trimester, with the complication of underlying cardiac disease. This resulted in typhoid endocarditis contributing to fetal loss. A survey of the literature is presented and treatment recommendations outlined.

Abstract
Stress has been found to a significant factor in the development of physical illness. The relationship between demographic factors such as gender and age and their influence on stress and illness has not been extensively investigated. The present study investigated the relationship among life events, affective disorders, life satisfaction, and stress symptoms in a cross-sectional sample of 463 ambulatory visitors to a voluntary health screening. Age relationships were found to be strongest for life satisfaction, stress symptoms, and life stresses, whereas gender was the major factor in depression. The importance of gender and age as moderators of stress relationships is discussed with its possible implications for life-stage development.
