We report a 72-year-old patient with thoracic myelopathy due to isolated ossification of the ligamentum flavum at T9-T10. Severe paraparesis had developed before the lesion was identified when thinning of a segment of the lower thoracic spinal cord was suspected on a second MRI examination. The diagnosis was then established by CT.

A 24-year-old female with haemoglobin E-thalassaemia who presented with paraparesis of 18 months' duration was found to have spinal extradural extramedullary haemopoietic tissue extending from T4 to T9. Complete neurological recovery followed laminectomy. The importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment, of this unusual complication of extramedullary haemopoiesis, before the spinal cord is irre...

To determine trans fatty acid (TFA) distribution of contemporary foods, especially regarding individual trans octadecenoic acids (trans C18:1), 339 German foods of six categories (semi-solid fats, deep-fried potato products, bakery products, confectioneries, instant products and butter) were analysed using two GC methods. Results showed a high variation of TFA content between and within the cat...

Accurate quantum three-body calculation is performed for the new rank of big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) reactions that are catalyzed by a hypothetical long-lived negativelycharged, massive leptonic particle (called X−) such as a supersymmetric (SUSY) particle stau, the scalar partner of the tau lepton. It is known that if the X− particle has a lifetime of τX >∼ 10 3 s, it would capture a light ...

In this study, the effects on quality characteristics such as mass, length, width and color (L*, a* b*) in blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L. cv. 'Bluecrop') fruit of biofilm (ParkaTM) sprayed pre-harvest different regimes were investigated. The highest mass was measured T1, T3, T4 T8 treatments at harvest, whereas all harvest +7 similar. At +7, length obtained T1 treatments, respectively. Frui...

The field experiment was carried out at central research farm of Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj during kharif season year 2022. comprised 9 treatments with three level NPK FYM in factorial randomized block design. treatment T9 has shown the significant results when applied 100% among different levels combinations. Soil p...

The primordia of the sympathetic trunk ganglia were traced on serial sections of 10 embryos at stage 13 (32 postovulatory days). It was found that in all embryos, these primordia were present in the thoracic level T4 to T9 and they appeared as scattered aggregates of cells lying dorsally and laterally to the dorsal aortae.

The effectiveness of an enzymatic cocktail, collagenase and trypsin, on the absorptive function of ilealsegment was studied to evaluate the changes within groups after performing ileocystoplasty in an animalmodel. Twenty-one female mixed-bred Persian dogs were randomized into 7 groups. The groups included: 1) negative control group (NCG) in which no ileocystoplasty was performed (n = 3); 2) pos...

to study the effect of seed treatment on damage of harmful moths of sugar beet, an experiment was conducted in rcbd with nine treatments in four replications in karaj for three years (1996-1998). the treatments were applied as follows: t1, check, t2, t3 and t4, sugar beet seeds treated with imidacloprid, fibronil and orten, respectively; t5, pelleted seeds without insecticide; t6, t7 and t8, pe...

The vast majority of combat-related penetrating spinal injuries from gunshot wounds result in severe or complete neurological deficit. Treatment is based on neurological status, the presence of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistulas, and local effects of any retained fragment(s). We present a case of a 46-year-old male who sustained a spinal gunshot injury from a 7.62-mm AK-47 round that became lod...
