the role of the ventromedial nuclei of the hypothalamus (vmn) in food behavior was studied in adult male rats, allocated in 3 groups: control, sham and lesioned. electrolytic lesions were induced stereotaxically (1.2 ma, 15 sec). results revealed a significant decrease (p

coincidental occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) and cholangiocarcinoma, known as “collision tumors”, within a cirrhotic liver is rare. herein, we report a case of liver transplantation (lt) in a patient with such collision tumors. our patient was a 56-year-old woman with hepatitis c virus-related cirrhosis and 2 focal hepatic lesions, measuring 1.5 and 3 cm, in the liver segments 8 an...

introduction: an important consideration in endodontic treatment is the elimination of microorganisms, including fungi, from the complex three- dimensional root canal system. candida albicans (ca) has a major role in endodontic treatment failure as the most important fungus isolated from the root canal system. the present study was carried out to evaluate the presence of ca in the teeth requiri...

PURPOSE Segmentation of breast lesions on dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the first step in lesion diagnosis in a computer-aided diagnosis framework. Because manual segmentation of such lesions is both time consuming and highly susceptible to human error and issues of reproducibility, an automated lesion segmentation method is highly desirable. Traditional au...

Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) is an imaging technique that provides in vivo and real-time endomicroscopic analysis [1,2]. We show images of a duodenal mucous neck cell adenoma growing in the submucosa that was visualized by pCLE. A77-year-oldmanpresentedwith a3-mm protruding lesion in the duodenal blub (●" Fig.1). The lesionwas located on top of a submucosal elevation of appr...

The equine stomach consists of two separate non-glandular and glandular sections. Despite the incidence most lesions in region, both parts are prone to lesions. In this study, 41 hybrid-native horses, including 24 stallions 17 mares, were examined over five years. total, 27 horses (65.85%) that sampled had lesions, erosion, granuloma, or on region stomach. Occurrence gastric erosive granulomato...

Aim . To evaluate the efficacy and safety of thoracoscopic hybrid techniques in patients with various forms atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods The results ablation 87 AF were analyzed: 27 (31%) paroxysmal form, 15 (17%) - persistent, 45 (52%) long-term persistent form at follow-up 18.6±6.7 months. “Box-Lesion” treatments amputation left appendage (LAA) performed 69 (79.3%) patients, “Box Lesion”...

In Escherichia coli the RecA protein plays a pivotal role in homologous recombination, DNA repair, and SOS repair and mutagenesis. A gene designated recX (or oraA) is present directly downstream of recA in E. coli; however, the function of RecX is unknown. In this work we demonstrated interaction of RecX and RecA in a yeast two-hybrid assay. In vitro, substoichiometric amounts of RecX strongly ...
