RABIES IN A HUMAN BEING, WITH POST-MORTEM

Imaging maculopathy in post-mortem human eyes

Age-related maculopathy (ARM) remains a poorly understood degeneration. To discover new pathways using contemporary genomics, proteomics, and immunohistochemistry, validate emerging animal models, and validate new imaging modalities, human tissues obtained from donor eyes will be essential to ARM research for the foreseeable future. Because fundus appearance is the clinical diagnostic lingua fr...

Human skull translucency: post mortem studies.

Measurements of optical translucency of human skulls were carried out. An incandescent light source and a CCD camera were used to measure the distribution of light transmitted through the skull in 10 subjects post-mortem. We noticed that intra-individual differences in optical translucency may be up to 100 times but inter-individual translucency differences across the skull reach 105 times. Bas...

A vaccinia-vectored rabies vaccine field trial: ante- and post-mortem biomarkers.

During the field safety evaluation of a vaccinia-rabies glycoprotein recombinant virus vaccine for wildlife, two biomarkers were used to identify potential contact with vaccine-laden baits. Tetracycline, a commonly used and reliable calciphilic tissue marker, was included in a fish-meal polymer bait matrix and was evaluated from post-mortem bone samples. Additionally, an ante-mortem marker was ...

A Survey of Human Rabies in Iran; 2000-2006

Regional differences in protein carboxymethylation in post-mortem human brain.

1. The aim of this study was to determine the pattern of protein carboxymethylation in different regions of the human brain. 2. The availability of protein methylation sites was determined by measurement of the incorporation of methyl-3H groups into proteins isolated from post-mortem brain tissue. The stability of protein carboxymethylation in post-mortem brain was determined by sampling post-m...
