Despite numerous studies documenting the association between cancer and venous thromboembolism (VTE), the reason for the excessive risk in certain cancers remains obscure. No large-scale studies have yet investigated the independent effects of cancer type, site and growth pattern. Between 1970 and 1982, 23,796 standardised autopsies were performed, representing 84% of all in-hospital deaths in an
Within the common market, built upon the notion of free movement of goods and undistorted competition, Member States are prohibited to put restrictions on the free market or distort competition if no justifiable reasons under Community Law are presented. Thus, state monopolies of a commercial character are per se controversial within the Common market. However it is clear from the existence of Art

Human NUDT22 belongs to the diverse NUDIX family of proteins, but has, until now, remained uncharacterized. Here we show that human NUDT22 is a Mg2+-dependent UDP-glucose and UDP-galactose hydrolase, producing UMP and glucose 1-phosphate or galactose 1-phosphate. We present the structure of human NUDT22 alone and in a complex with the substrate UDP-glucose. These structures reveal a partially cons
