construction of the instrument employed, the skill and experience of the operator, and the condition of the patient. The instrument may be flexible or rigid, soft or hard, light or heavy. It may have a short curve or a large sweeping curve. It may be bulbous at the point, or conical, and so on. My experience of over a quarter of a century of hospital work in one capacity or another, from house-...

This paper presents the design and experimental results of a new type developable added bulbous bow that has been designated as dihedral bow. is based on polyhedral bows are used in small vessels, whose origin traced to 1990s. The designed with set surfaces following previous methodology surface considers material properties can contain boundary curves. Two designs their towing tank tests prese...

Introduction Jeune et al first described asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy in 2 siblings in 1954 [1]. The incidence of this rare condition has been reported to be 1 in 1,00,000 live births [2]. Scanty reports are available in Indian literature [2-5]. This condition is characterized by small constricted chest causing repeated respiratory tract infections and typical radiological appearance of thor...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2014205021 DESCRIPTION Ainhum (dactylolysis spontanea) is an idiopathic condition that involves a ‘band-like’ soft tissue constriction of a digit. This pathology often presents bilaterally with the greatest prevalence on the fifth digit. Dark-skinned individuals of ...

Most of the previous work on the formation of nerve-muscle connections has been done either in whole embryos (1-3) or in organ cultures of tissue fragments (4, 5) . As a step towards studying innervation mechanisms at the level of single cell interactions we have recently determined that neuromuscular junctions can develop in monolayer cultures of mixed spinal cord and skeletal muscle cells fro...

In July 2012, philometrid nematodes were discovered in cultured rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli) in Cheonsuman (Bay), the Republic of Korea. The nematodes were detected in the epithelial tissues of the rockfish and were identified as Clavinema mariae based on morphological studies using light and scanning electron microscopy. They revealed the characteristics same as previously identified C. maria...

The phenotype of partial trisomy 9p includes global developmental delay, microcephaly, bulbous nose, downturned oral commissures, malformed ears, hypotonia, and severe cognitive and language disorders. We present a case report and a comparative review of clinical findings on this condition, focusing on speech-language development, cognitive abilities and swallowing evaluation. We suggest that o...

1. The reproducibility of measurements of the arterial wall thickness in both the carotid and femoral artery was investigated by means of high-resolution B-mode ultrasonography. For this purpose, subjects with normal and increased intima-media thickness were selected. Images were stored on an optical disk and were analysed with a semi-automatic software program by two readers. Individuals were ...

The Ophioviridae is a family of filamentous plant viruses, with single-stranded negative, and possibly ambisense, RNA genomes of 11.3-12.5 kb divided into 3-4 segments, each encapsidated separately. Virions are naked filamentous nucleocapsids, forming kinked circles of at least two different contour lengths. The sole genus, Ophiovirus, includes seven species. Four ophioviruses are soil-transmit...
