We review our recent results of global onedimensional (1-D) MHD simulations for the acceleration of solar and stellar winds. We impose transverse photospheric motions corresponding to the granulations, which generate outgoing Alfvén waves. We treat the propagation and dissipation of the Alfvén waves and consequent heating from the photosphere by dynamical simulations in a self-consistent manner...

We are reporting on the first human carcinoid cells ever cultured in vitro. These cells, termed CGP, originated from a jejunal carcinoid tumor. Before tumor resection, the 29-year old male patient presented high levels of blood serotonin and histamine and also of urinary serotonin and 5-hydroxyindole-acetic acid; values returned to normal 9 days after resection. CGP cells exhibit a very slow mu...

Acangaobitermes krishnaigen. et sp. n., is described here, based on soldiers and workers collected in Brazil. Some characteristics suggest a close kinship with Noirotitermes Cancello & Myles, and both genera share the following traits absent in all other Syntermitinae: the microsculpturing on the soldier head capsule surface with internal granulations; the piercing mandibles with a single very ...

Objective Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), its secretion, circulation and absorption have been the subject of recent researches. There is a general agreement that the main site of CSF secretion is in the choroids plexus. However, the main absorption site is controversial. Some believe that arachnoid granulations are the principle sites of CSF absorption. In this study, different locations of CSF abs...

Guaifenesin, a highly water-soluble active (50 mg/mL), classified as a BCS class I drug.Owing to its poor flowability and compressibility, formulating tablets especially high-dose one,may be a challenge. Direct compression may not be feasible. Bilayer tablet technology appliedto Mucinex®, endures challenges to deliver a robust formulation. To overcome challengesinvolved in bilayer-tablet manufa...

La malakoplakie est une maladie inflammatoire granulomateuse chronique, qui affecte généralement le tractus génito-urinaire et exceptionnellement la glande mammaire. Il faut savoir évoquer ce diagnostic devant une mastite pseudotumorale. Sa définition est anatomopathologique. Nous rapportons un cas inhabituel de malakoplakie mammaire chez une patiente ayant des antécédents de tuberculose. L'ima...

Background: Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a rare condition typically affecting the major joints and the involvement of the temporomandibular joint is rare. Although, it is histologically benign, it can be locally aggressive, capable of extensive bone destruction. The disease has aggressive behavior and a high incidence of recurrence (40% 60%). Case report: A 35 years old male presented wi...

The use of hierarchical taxonomies to organise information (or sets of objects) is a common approach for the semantic web and elsewhere, and is based on progressively finer granulations of objects. In many cases, seemingly crisp granulation disguises the fact that categories are based on loosely defined concepts which are better modelled by allowing graded membership. A related problem arises w...

We report here a neurocranial abnormality previously undescribed in Pleistocene human fossils, an enlarged parietal foramen (EPF) in the early Late Pleistocene Xujiayao 11 parietal bones from the Xujiayao (Houjiayao) site, northern China. Xujiayao 11 is a pair of partial posteromedial parietal bones from an adult. It exhibits thick cranial vault bones, arachnoid granulations, a deviated posteri...

Alveolar ridge augmentation with beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) granules, calcium phosphate cement (CPC) powder and web form of titanium fibers (TW) added to Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP) was histologically observed for 5 months by the experiments using the maxilla of rabbits. As a result, TW was thus found to promote the rapid bone development within a period of less than 5 months, because ...
