Primary spinal glioblastoma (GBM) is a rare disease, with an aggressive course and a poor prognosis. We report a case of a 19-year-old male with a 4-week history of progressive weakness in both lower limbs, which progressed to paraparesis with a left predominance and difficulty in initiating urination over a week. Spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an intramedullary expansile mass lo...

The deoxyribonucleic acid of bacteriophages T2, T4, and T6 contains glucose linked to the hydroxymethyl groups of hydroxymethylcytosine. The work of Sinsheimer, Volkin, Jesaitis, and of Lichtenstein and Cohen (l-4) established the presence of glucosyl-hydroxymethylcytosine residues in the deoxyribonucleic acid and indicated that there is a characteristic glucose to hydroxymethylcytosine ratio f...

The aim of the present study was to investigate effects gum Arabic supplementation on short-chain fatty acids, cecal microbiota, immune-related gene expression, and small intestinal morphology in post-hatched broiler chicks. On day hatching, 6 dietary treatments were randomly allocated a total 432 commercial male Each treatment included 12 cages with chicks per cage repeated. Dietary (T1 T6) su...

Effects of solutions of 0.5% amethocaine, containing different concentrations of dextrose (0%, 1.25%, 2.5% and 5%) were studied after intrathecal injection. The cephalad extent of block was greater with all three dextrose-containing solutions (T6), compared with the isobaric solution which contained no dextrose (T11). The variability of maximum level of block within each group was similar (seve...

BACKGROUND Chronic respiratory failure (CRF) is associated with nocturnal hypoventilation. Due to the interaction of sleep and breathing, sleep quality is reduced during nocturnal hypoventilation. Non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NMV), usually performed overnight, relieves symptoms of hypoventilation and improves daytime blood gas tensions in patients with CRF. The time course of the long t...

A simple and rapid method is described for separation of T-even bacteriophage deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from host (Escherichia coli) DNA by hydroxyapatite column chromatography with a shallow gradient of phosphate buffer at neutral pH. By this method, bacteriophage T2, T4, and T6 DNA (but not T5, T7, or lambda DNA) could be separated from host E. coli DNA. It was found that glucosylation of t...

Infection of Escherichia coli B with bacteriophages Tl, T2, or T4 results in increase in the activity of deoxyribonucleic acid methylase assayed in crude extracts of the infected cells. The largest increase is observed after infection with T2. phage; T4 and Tl phages lead to smaller increases in that order of decreasing magnitude. After infection with T3, T5, or T6 phages, a decrease in activit...

Knowledge of the morphometric measurements Filipino thoracic spine pedicles would help surgeons in determining proper size and increase accuracy pedicle screws placement during surgery to avoid complications. This study aims measure outer diameter, chord length transverse angulation (T1-T12). A retrospective analysis patients ages 18-85 years who underwent CT scan from January December 2019. to...

Abdominal field blocks are commonly used as part of multimodal analgesia for post-operative pain relief in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Conventionally, transversus abdominis plane block is used, but has the disadvantage of limited spread only to T10-T12 segments, providing only partial pain relief. The new quadratus lumborum (QL) block has the advantage of providing wider sensory bloc...
