Sphaeromatid isopods, such as Dynamene, are common and abundant members of the invertebrate fauna of littoral and shallow sublittoral substrates. Six species of Dynamene occur in the northern hemisphere. Only two species exist outside this range, in Australia. The distribution of the various species in the NE Atlantic-Black Sea axis has been controversial due to the difficulty in the identifica...

As the Olympic Games developed and their popularity and relevance grew, winning medals also became important and a matter of national and political prestige. Despite the International Olympic Committee’s refusal to recognize country rankings by medals, the medal table is updated on a regular basis and plays a dominant role in media coverage and public interest (Rathke & Woitek, 2007). This has ...

Body size variation of the intertidal limpet Lottiu digitalis (Rathke) and the factors responsible for maintaining it were examined at three central California intertidal sites differing in wave exposure. Limpet body size increased with increasing tidal height. This increase in size with tidal height was correlated with exposure to wave splash and migratory behavior. In areas of high and interm...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study was undertaken to analyze enhancement patterns of the dura around sellar tumors and to compare the results with tumor invasion or compression of the cavernous sinuses. Postoperative enhancement patterns on MR images were compared with preoperative findings. METHODS Contrast-enhanced coronal and sagittal MR images were examined prospectively in 96 patients wit...

In this study, we investigated (using bioassays and ELISA) the variation of cHH (crustacean hyperglycemic hormone) level in the eyestalks and hemolymph of Palaemon elegans (Rathke) (Decapoda, Caridea) following injection of serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) and correlated cHH profile with the variation in amount and time course of glycemia. 5-HT induced in P. elegans a rapid and massive releas...

ABSTRACT
 Intracranial pathologies can affect pituitary hormone levels whether they are primarily related to the gland or not. In deficiencies, size and location of may be normal, as well one more effects observed after hypoplasia, partial empty sella, ectopic neurohypophysis, Rathke's cleft cyst, adenomas other masses surgeries. early puberty, dimensions usually increased, rarely hypoplas...

SUMMARY A 71 - year old woman with symptomatic Rathke's Cleft cyst is reported. She had Visual disturbance, diabetes insipidus and hypopituitarism. Imaging study with computed tomography revealed the presence of suprasellar mass. After the transsphenoidal surgery and treatment with DDA VP, her symptoms showed an improvement.

Alkylation of sodium cyclopentadienyl(tricarbonyl)metal— lates of tungsten and molybdenum with o—chloro ketones and c—chloro esters gives stable tungsten and molybdenum enolates (23a—23d). Similar alkylation of sodium pentacarbonylrhenate provides rhenium enolates 24. Compounds 23 lOse carbon monoxide and rearrange to 3—oxaallyl complexes 25 upon irradia— tiøn. Compounds 25 react with benzaldeh...
