We validate specific binding activity of a fluorescence-labeled peptide to colorectal dysplasia in living mice using a miniature, flexible, fiber microendoscope that passes through the instrument channel of an endoscope. The microendoscope delivers excitation light at 473 nm through a fiber-optic bundle with outer diameter of 680 µm to collect en face images at 10 Hz with 4 µm lateral resolutio...

In this paper using Density Functional Theory (DFT), the principal carbon allotropic crystalline structures (Diamond, graphite, nanotube y fullereneC60) were simulated. The results showsdiamond sp3 bonds formation between carbon atomsand low reactivity, indicating low probability of lateral compound formation and high mechanical properties. Interplanar weakness was evidentin graphite structure,...

Santral sinir sisteminin en sık görülen ekstraksiyel tümörü olan menenjiyom %85-90 sıklıkla supratentorial yerleşim göstermekte olup, insidental olarak saptanır. Bu yazımızda, Acil Servis’e senkop ile başvuran 80 yaşındaki bir erkek hastayı sunmaktayız. Yapılan kranial bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) ve magnetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) incelemelerinde posterior fossa orta hatta yerleşim gösteren...

The technique of pedicled vascularized fibular graft for lateral tibial condyle reconstruction after en bloc resection of aggressive giant cell tumours was described by SP Chow et al. Early follow-up of two patients was presented in 1986. We present the 25 years follow-up of one patient with a literature review of alternative present day treatment options. The patient maintained community ambul...

R E S U M E N La asociación entre la Esclerosis Lateral Amiotrófica (ELA) y la Neurocisticercosis (NCC) rara vez se ha descrito en la literatura. Presentamos un paciente con ambos trastornos. Se diagnosticó NCC en un paciente de 55 años de edad, masculino con tomografía axial y pruebas de inmunoensayo en l íquido cefalorraquídeo (LCR). Después del tratamiento con Praziquantel, desarrolló bradil...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to localize the cell bodies of palisade endings that are associated with the myotendinous junctions of the extraocular muscles. METHODS Rhesus monkeys received tract-tracer injections (tetramethylrhodamine dextran [TMR-DA] or choleratoxin subunit B [CTB]) into the oculomotor and trochlear nuclei, which contain the motoneurons of extraocular muscles. All e...

OBJECTIVE The effects of the different surgical approaches (transhiatal esophagectomy and right-sided transthoracic esophagectomy) on perioperative cardiopulmonary function in the surgical treatment of esophageal carcinoma are discussed controversially and have not yet been evaluated. METHODS In a prospective randomized study including 32 patients, we investigated the effects of the surgical ...

Little is known about the genetic pathways and cellular processes responsible for regional differences in cerebellum foliation, which interestingly are accompanied by regionally distinct afferent circuitry. We have identified the Engrailed (En) homeobox genes as being crucial to producing the distinct medial vermis and lateral hemisphere foliation patterns in mammalian cerebella. By producing a...
