Described in the article is a rare case concerning spontaneous recanalization of the extracranial portion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) eleven months after occlusion. Only few publications have been dedicated to recanalization of ICA chronic occlusion. Spontaneous recanalization of the ICA is more common than it is generally understood. The authors have analysed all available articles ab...

Voltage-dependent sodium (INa) and calcium (ICa) currents in small (<30 microM) neurons from adult rat trigeminal root ganglia were characterized with a standard whole cell patch-clamp technique. Two types of INa showing different sensitivity to tetrodotoxin (TTX) were recorded, which showed marked differences in their activating and inactivating time courses. The activation and the steady-stat...

in this paper, a multi-product continues review inventory control problem within batch arrival queuing approach (mqr/m/1) is modeled to find the optimal quantities of maximum inventory. the objective function is to minimize summation of ordering, holding and shortage costs under warehouse space, service level, and expected lost-sales shortage cost constraints from retailer and warehouse viewpoi...

Inactivation of currents carried through calcium channels by calcium (ICa), barium (IBa) and monovalent cations (In.s.) was studied in single smooth muscle cell (SMC) of the guinea-pig coronary artery and taenia caeci by the whole-cell patch-clamp method. The rate of ICa inactivation in the coronary artery SMC was correlated with ICa amplitude, and acceleration was observed with the increasing ...

A rapid, cheap and effective method for diagnosing tuberculosis (TB) is essential for TB control. We evaluated the performance of an immunochromatographic assay (ICA) kit (SD Bioline TB Ag MPT64 rapid test) designed for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) in liquid and solid cultures to determine its ability to detect and differentiate MTC directly in sputum samples. We attempted...

the biologists now face with the masses of high dimensional datasets generated from various high-throughput technologies, which are outputs of complex inter-connected biological networks at different levels driven by a number of hidden regulatory signals. so far, many computational and statistical methods such as pca and ica have been employed for computing low-dimensional or hidden representat...

We studied the developmental changes in the beta-adrenergic modulation of L-type calcium current (ICa) in enzymatically isolated adult (AD) and newborn (NB, 1-4-day-old) rabbit ventricular cells using the whole-cell patch-clamp method. ICa was measured as the peak inward current at a test potential of +15 mV by applying a 180-450-msec pulse from a holding potential of -40 mV with Cs(+)-rich pip...

Reef-building corals import inorganic carbon (Ci) to build their calcium carbonate skeletons and to support photosynthesis by the symbiotic algae that reside in their tissue. The internal pathways that deliver Ci for both photosynthesis and calcification are known to involve the enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA), which interconverts CO2 and HCO3 (-). We have developed a method for absolute quantif...
