Primary Light-chain Amyloidosis Featuring Worm-like Small Bowel Polyposis
A 66-year-old man with a history of asthma presented with abdominal distension of one month in duration. Computed tomography revealed jejunal wall thickening and distended loops of small bowel (Picture 1). Double-balloon enteroscopy revealed numerous polypoid, worm-like, 1-5 cm masses, while the mucosa in the duodenum and ileum had a normal appearance (Picture 2, 3). One of the masses was remov...
متن کاملEvolutionarily conserved elements in vertebrate, insect, worm, and yeast genomes.
We have conducted a comprehensive search for conserved elements in vertebrate genomes, using genome-wide multiple alignments of five vertebrate species (human, mouse, rat, chicken, and Fugu rubripes). Parallel searches have been performed with multiple alignments of four insect species (three species of Drosophila and Anopheles gambiae), two species of Caenorhabditis, and seven species of Sacch...
متن کاملImproved Animal-Like Maintenance of Homeostatic Goals via Flexible Latching
Drives and motivations assist in natural action selection through temporarily focusing an agent’s behavioural attention on particular problems, thus escaping problems of dithering between goals. In artificial systems and models, durativestate-based mechanisms for action selection like emotions and drives have sometimes been neglected altogether in favour of planned or reactive control, or somet...
متن کاملAnalysis of worm-like locomotion
Nature is a storehouse of great ideas, which are mostly so well planned, that engineers can apply them directly via examining, understanding and imitating the natural working principles. Snakes and worms can be found in almost every region of our planet. Their success is mainly based on the simple construction of their body and their robust locomotion technique. Snakes and worms move their body...
متن کاملSelf-heating by large insect larvae?
Do insect larvae ever self-heat significantly from their own metabolic activity and, if so, under what sets of environmental temperatures and across what ranges of body size? We examine these questions using larvae of the Japanese rhinoceros beetle (Trypoxylus dichotomus), chosen for their large size (>20g), simple body plan, and underground lifestyle. Using CO2 respirometry, we measured larval...
