No new genes? At the University of Toronto, Brendan Frey is leading a group of scientists who are using AI techniques to analyze molecularbiology data. One of their projects involves using a factor graph they developed called GenRate to discover and evaluate genes in mouse tissues. Factor graphs let researchers describe a system with complex variables, such as gene location in DNA as well as ge...

Two new species of Miridae, Myrmecophyes bykovi sp. nov. and Scirtetellus medvedevae sp. nov., are described from Xinjiang province of China. Illustrations of the male genitalia, tarsus, and pretarsus; photographs of the dorsal habitus; known hosts; and distributional records are provided for each species. Two new synonymies are established, viz. Chlainydatus laminatus Li & Liu, 2006 = Chlamyda...

Objective(s):  The aim of this study was to evaluate the final outcome of nerve regeneration across the eggsell membrane (ESM) tube conduit in comparison with autograft. Materials and Methods: Thirty adult male rats (250-300 g) were randomized into (1) ESM conduit, (2) autograft, and (3) sham surgery groups. The eggs submerged in 5% acetic acid. The decalcifying membranes were cut into four pie...

Background: Peripheral nerves may be damaged during an injury and its current standard treatment is using an autologous nerve. Objectives: The purpose of this experimental study is to evaluate and compare the histological results of nerve regeneration after using the eggshell membrane (ESM) guidance channel with autograft. Materials and Methods: Thirty adult male rats were divided into th...

A 14-year-old who had 7episodes of relapsing unita­leral paralysis of facial nerve during 7 year-;. was admit­ted to the hospital. The X-Ray revealed Osteopetrosis, and the bone biopsy was proved this diagnosis. But there was not any bone fracture, or anemia. Pressure over fa­cial nerve caused by condensation of entire facial nerve canal. was detected by tomographia. Probablv intermitant facial...

Background: The treatment of benign parotid tumours has shifted from superficial or total parotidectomy to partial parotidectomy in the recent two decade. This study examined whether current surgical techniques improved functional outcomes after surgery for benign parotid tumours. Methods: twenty six patients were assigned randomly to superficial or total parotidectomy (13 patients) and partial...
