Abstract Background Over the years teaching has being a radical open approach to boerhaaves. Here at Queen Alexandra Hospital, we wanted show minimally invasive boerhaaves and prove be feasible option, obviously in selected cases under specialist UGI unit. Methods A recording was obtained of case endoscopy with permission. Results We were able contain mediastinal contamination while same time, ...

24 Cardiovascular function is regulated by a dynamic balance comprised of sympathetic and 25 parasympathetic activity. Sympathoexcitatory pre-sympathetic neurons (PSNs) in the 26 rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) project directly to cardiac and vasomotor 27 sympathetic preganglionic neurons in the spinal cord. In proximity to the PSNs in the 28 medulla there are preganglionic cardiac vagal n...

Cell lines obtained by in vitro transformation of bone marrow with Abelson murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV) can be divided into three classes: producers, releasing reverse transcriptase-containing particles and infectious virus; nonproducers, releasing no viral particles; and defective producers, the most common phenotype, releasing particulate reverse transcriptase in the absence of infectious v...

Abstract Objective To evaluate the influence of reservoir bag types, volumes and previous use on peak pressures (Pmax) times to develop 30 cmH2O pressure (P30) within a nonrebreathing system with closed adjustable pressure-limiting (APL) valve. Study design In vitro study using three-way factorial repeated measure one factor. Subjects A total 75 new anesthesia bags (five three volumes, five fro...

Visna virus is a retrovirus which replicates in fibroblast-like cells of the sheep choroid plexus through a lytic cycle. Visna virions contain three major low-molecular-weight proteins (p30, p16, and p14) which, together with the genomic RNA and several molecules of reverse transcriptase, constitute the core structure of the virions. The core is surrounded by an envelope containing a major glyc...

  Genetic typing methods of T. gondii strains have been extensively perfected in recent years. From a technical point of view, many tools usable for genetic studied on single-copy loci have been used: RFLP, PCR-RFLP, sequencing, RAPD-PCR and isoenzyme analysis. We described the cloning and sequence analysis of the gene which encodes the major surface antigen (SAG1 or P30) of T. gondii. SAG1 is ...

This review deals with two topics: (1) the effects of fibronectin and laminin on neurite growth and the molecular mechanisms of these effects, and (2) isolation and properties of the adhesive molecule p30. This novel molecule is an abundant heparin-binding protein in perinatal rat brain, and is suggested to have a role in neuronal growth.

In mice that express SOD1 mutations found in human motor neuron disease, degeneration begins in the periphery for reasons that remain unknown. At the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), terminal Schwann cells (TSCs) have an intimate relationship with motor terminals and are believed to help maintain the integrity of the motor terminal. Recent evidence indicates that TSCs in some SOD1 mice exhibit abn...

Recent evidence suggests that exercising the antagonist musculature acutely enhances subsequent performance for the agonist musculature. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of different rest intervals between sets for exercises that involve antagonistic muscle groups, a technique referred to as antagonist paired sets (APS). Fifteen recreationally trained men were tested for kne...
