In 22 patients with Alzheimer's disease loss of neurons from the nucleus basalis of Meynert and locus caeruleus averaged 58% and 71% respectively with nucleolar volume being reduced by 30% in both. These changes were greater in those patients under 80 years of age and in such patients damage to the locus was more severe than that to the nucleus basalis. In older patients (over 80 years) changes...

The venom of the common Indian krait (Bungarus caeruleus) contains about a dozen isoforms of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), which exist in different oligomeric forms as well as in complexes with low-molecular-weight ligands. The basic objective of multimerization and complexation is either to inactivate PLA2 in the venom for long-term storage, to generate a new PLA2 function or to make a more lethal ...

It is very rare for a person with cyanosis and finger clubbing due to congenital heart disease to reach old age. Survival beyond the age of 50 has been noted only a few times and, as far as we are aware, survival of a person with morbus caeruleus beyond 70 years is unique. The patient reported below showed at autopsy marked pulmonary stenosis and patency of the atrial septum simulating the tetr...

AssraAcr.-The White-tailed Kite (Elanus leucurus) of the Americas has been merged with the Black-shouldered (or Black-winged) Kite (E. caeruleus) of the Old World and the Australian Black-shouldered Kite (E. axillaris) by North American authorities (but not elsewhere), primarily because of similarity in plumage. However, American kites differ from Old World kites in greater size and weight, in ...

in this study gill-net selectivity for alburnus chalcoides inhabiting the almus dam lake was estimated. experimental gill-net fishing was conducted using gill-net with 15 mm and 20 mm mesh-size, during october 2002 and september 2003. a total of 254 and 198 specimens of a. chalcoides were caught by gill-net with 15 mm and 198 with the 20 mm mesh-size, respectively. the total length of the fish ...

The study include the description of fish assemblage in Al- Saffia reservation during period March 2006 to February 2007. Sixteen osteichthyes species were obtained, highest number 13 was recorded July and lowest 7 November January. largest individuals collected obtained (212) (124). Four formed 71.02% Alburnus mossulensis 20.64 % Liza abu19.62 Barbus luteus16.13 Carassius auratus 14.46 %. annu...

Two new species, Culex (Lobhoceraomyia) submarginalis and C. (L.) castaneus from New Guinea, are described; the record of C. cubitatus Colless is confirmed; a new record of C. solomonis (Edwards) from the Mollucas is given and C. caeruleus King & Hoogstraal is synonymized with C. digoelensis Brug. This paper is a supplement to my revision of Culex, subgenus [email protected], in New Guinea and Bism...
