In this study, trypsin-like protease activity and expression of serine encoding genes (PmPPAE1, PmPPAE2 - clip-serine proteases PmTLP1, PmTLP2 proteases) in the different tissues black tiger shrimp were determined. The level PmPPAE1 was highest hemolymph; meanwhile that PmTLP1 hepatopancreas. hemolymph white spot syndrome virus (WSSV)-injected shrimp, PmPPAE1, upregulated by 2.32, 2.57 4.56-fol...

The geometry of mesoscopic single and multiple layer folds in rhyolitic obsidian ̄ows is investigated. Folds are composed of obsidian embedded in a matrix of pumice. Folds form by buckling processes as indicated by discontinuous deformation between obsidian and pumice layers and by the geometries of wavetrains. Buckling occurs through a continuum of styles controlled largely by the thickness ra...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Muscle tension dysphonia (MTD), a common voice disorder that is not commonly referred for physical therapy intervention, is characterized by excessive muscle recruitment, resulting in incorrect vibratory patterns of vocal folds and an alteration in voice production. This case series was conducted to determine whether physical therapy including manual therapy, exercise, an...

Posterior folds in human donor corneas stored as whole eyes in moist chambers, or isolated in McCarey-Kaufman medium at 4 degrees C, have been studied by light and scanning electron microscopy to determine whether or not endothelial cells on the folds are damaged. Extensive, often irreversible cell damage was found associated with most of the folds. Hence posterior folds in donor corneas are of...

A survey, using reciprocal matings, has been made of neonatal lamb mortality in two Merino flocks, Folds Plus and Folds Minus, which have been selected for and against skin fold development since 1951. Results showed that death of single lambs was concentrated in the group where Folds Plus rams were mated to Folds Plus ewes. This mortality was almost invariably associated with dystocia or diffi...

OBJECTIVE: To assess the risk factors associated with upper crossed syndrome (UCS) in females of age 25-50 years. METHODS: This population based case controlled study was conducted from May to August 2019. Total 210 including 105 cases (participants who had neck pain for at least one month) and controls didn't pain), aging years were selected through non-probability convenient sampling techniqu...

OBJECTIVES Collagen fiber content and orientation affect the viscoelastic properties of the vocal folds, determining oscillation characteristics during speech and other vocalization. The investigation and reconstruction of the collagen network in vocal folds remains a challenge, because the collagen network requires at least micron-scale resolution. In this study, we used polarized light micros...

Purpose: To describe the spectral-domain optical coherence tomography features of chorioretinal folds of various etiology. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional observational case series of consecutive patients with chorioretinal folds. All patients underwent enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography over a two-month study period. Clinical variables and imaging features including sub...
