root-knot nemaode which causes extensive damage to legumes and cerealshas beenreported in many countries. the nematods has been observed on legumes, roots in manyregions of the world, causing swollen root and yield reduction. in order to evaluate the effect ofirrigation interval on reproductive traits of root-knot nematode, and the damage inflicteduponnavy bean, a study was conducted in 2011 in...

A common mode of limb suspension for transtibial amputees is the pin liner/shuttle lock system. Despite its popularity, some clinicians question its use because of observed daily and chronic changes to the residual limb. For this study, we measured limb interface pressures during ambulation with pin and suction suspension systems. No pressure differences were seen between the modes of suspensio...

OBJECTIVE To develop a distance measure based methodology to support the morphological evaluation of high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), a direct precursor of prostate cancer. METHODS Eight morphological and cellular features were analysed in 20 cases of high grade PIN found in radical prostatectomy specimens from patients with adenocarcinoma. The diagnostic distance was eva...

Dear Editor These ultrasound images (Fig. 1. Images A–D) convey an enlarged posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) with interruption of the PIN course by dislodgement of the distal of two Mitek anchors inserted 5 years previously for a biceps tendon rupture raising suspicion of PIN transection at the level of the distal biceps anchor. Surgical exploration confirmed complete PIN laceration with the ...

among fungi, species of the genus paecilomyces are considered as promising biological control agents with high potential to reduce root-knot nematode (rkn) and other nematode populations. in this research we investigated a soil hyphomycetes, paecilomyces marquandii and its pathogenicity on eggs of rkn in vitro. in greenhouse test, root weight, plant length, fresh weight and dry weight of plants...

conclusions in treatment of intra-articular distal radius fractures in middle-aged patients internal fixation with locking plates may be prefered to pin and plaster as the treatment of choice. results sf-36 test demonstrated a better general health (p < 0.001), mental health (p = 0.006), physical functioning (p < 0.001), social functioning (p < 0.001) and energy/fatigue (p < 0.001) in lcp group...

High grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) is the most likely precursor of prostatic carcinoma. PIN has a high predictive value as a marker for carcinoma, and its identification in biopsy specimens warrants repeat biopsy for concurrent or subsequent carcinoma. The only methods of detection are biopsy and transurethral resection; PIN does not greatly raise the concentration of serum pr...

The helminths of the following red duikers, Cephalophus natalensis, were examined: 24 from 3 game reserves in Natal and 1 that had originated from Charters Creek, Natal, shortly before it died in the National Zoological Gardens, Pretoria. The 21 animals from Charters Creek harboured 16 nematode species, a nematode genus, 2 cestode species and paramphistomes. The 2 red duiker from Fanies Island ...
