Coexistence of a spinal dural arteriovenous fistula within a dysraphic spinal lesion is a very rare situation. We report a 40-year-old man who presented with low back pain and progressive paraparesis. MR images showed an intradural high signal intensity mass at the L2–L3 level containing irregular signal void structures. Spinal angiography revealed extradural arteriovenous fistula with three co...

A study on insect succession of monkey carcass in a forested area in Ulu Gombak, Selangor, Malaysia was conducted from 9 May to 18 June 2007. The third instar of the housefly, Musca domestica (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Muscidae) were only found on dry stage of a decomposed (Day-33) monkey carcass (Macaca fascicularis Raffles).

Computational algebraic topology has already existed for some decades, with as its main objective the generation of examples. Nowadays, the field is rapidly changing into an applied branch of mathematics that is important in its own right. Robert Ghrist, topologist at the University of Illinois and one of the winners of the 2007 Scientific American 50 award, gives us three examples that illustr...

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of cyclone Gonu on species diversity and abundance of gastropods in the Qeshm Island, northern Persian Gulf, on the occasion of the occurrence of super cyclonic and strongest reported storm- Gonu- during 1-4, June 2007 in the eastern Arabian Sea. Samples were collected before the Gonu storm (late May and early June 2007) and twice ...

Molecular surveillance of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) was implemented in Europe as case reporting in 2005. For all new MDR TB cases detected from January 2003 through June 2007, countries reported case-based epidemiologic data and DNA fingerprint patterns of MDR TB strains when available. International clusters were detected and analyzed. From 2003 through mid-2007 in Europe, 2,49...
