Contrast Spread Technique: Evolution
The recognition of needle entry into an epidural space is a pivotal moment in cervical, thoracic, or lumbar epidural injections. Its significance cannot be overestimated. Regardless of how experienced you are, realizing that you are approaching an epidural space makes your heart beat faster. The safety of the procedure and its success rate depends upon proper and reliable identification of the ...
متن کاملComparing nodal versus bony metastatic spread using tumour phylogenies
The role of lymph node metastases in distant prostate cancer dissemination and lethality is ill defined. Patients with metastases restricted to lymph nodes have a better prognosis than those with distant metastatic spread, suggesting the possibility of distinct aetiologies. To explore this, we traced patterns of cancer dissemination using tumour phylogenies inferred from genome-wide copy-number...
متن کاملA Patient-Specific Anisotropic Diffusion Model for Brain Tumour Spread.
Gliomas are primary brain tumours arising from the glial cells of the nervous system. The diffuse nature of spread, coupled with proximity to critical brain structures, makes treatment a challenge. Pathological analysis confirms that the extent of glioma spread exceeds the extent of the grossly visible mass, seen on conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Gliomas show faster spread...
متن کاملAntibiotic Resistance: Origins, Evolution, Selection and Spread
Antibiotic resistance thwarts the treatment of infectious diseases worldwide. Although a number of factors can be identified which contribute to the problem, clearly the antibiotic as a selective agent and the resistance gene as the vehicle of resistance are the two most important, making up a 'drug resistance equation'. Both are needed in order for a clinical problem to arise. Given sufficient...
متن کاملIntein spread and extinction in evolution.
Inteins are selfish DNA elements found within coding regions. They are translated with their host protein, but then catalyze their own excision and the formation of a peptide bond between their flanking protein regions. Understanding what drives and selects inteins is relevant for assessing whether they have unidentified biological functions and whether they can invade and become established in...
