Cochlear-facial dehiscence--a newly described entity.
Dehiscence of the cochlear otic capsule has recently been described as a pathologic entity. We describe two cases of cochlear-facial dehiscence, which are the first reported: a 69-year-old male who complained of hearing loss, autophony, and pulsatile tinnitus and a 41-year-old female who complained of left-sided hearing loss, pulsatile tinnitus, and vertigo. In both, computed tomography (CT) sh...
متن کاملBiochemical properties of a newly described Escherichia species, Escherichia albertii.
Five strains of a newly described Escherichia species, Escherichia albertii, were extensively characterized by conventional biochemical methods and by commercial identification panels. E. albertii is an indole-negative species that ferments D-mannitol but not D-xylose. Because these strains are not included in the databases of commercial systems at present, they were most often identified as Ha...
متن کاملExosomes and cancer: a newly described pathway of immune suppression.
Exosomes are small (30 to 100 nm) membrane-bound particles that are released from normal, diseased, and neoplastic cells and are present in blood and other bodily fluids. Exosomes contain a variety of molecules including signal peptides, mRNA, microRNA, and lipids. Exosomes can function to export from cells unneeded endogenous molecules and therapeutic drugs. When exosomes are taken up by speci...

A 60-year-old woman presented with a 4-month history of objective persistent pulsatile tinnitus in the right ear with no other complaints. The pulsatile tinnitus diminished with rotation of the head to the right side or by compression of the right cervical vascular st...
متن کاملCharacterization of a novel form of X-linked incomplete achromatopsia.
X-linked incomplete achromatopsia (XIA), also called blue-cone monochromacy (BCM), is a rare cone disorder that most commonly results either from one of two conditions. The first condition is a deletion of the locus control region (LCR) which is a critical DNA element that lies upstream of the L and M photopigment gene array on the X-chromosome and is necessary for expression of the photopigmen...
