Introduction Mutations in the human calmodulin genes (CALM1, CALM2, and CALM3) are associated with life-threatening conditions in childhood, such as idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF) and long QT syndrome (LQTS). Furthermore, CALM1 mutations were described in a catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT)-like phenotype. Sudden unexplained death in the young can be the fir...

Neosporosis is caused by the protozoan parasite, Neospora caninum. It is essentially responsible for abortion in cattle and various neuro-muscular conditions in dogs. Until 1988, N. caninum was confused with Toxoplasma gondii, a closely related parasite (Dubey et al. 1988a,b). In 1989, Thilsted and Dubey reported the presence of cerebral and cardiac lesions in several aborted bovine foetuses or...

Results: There were 228 patients who were pronounced brain dead, mostly after traumatic brain injury, cerebral hematoma, or aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Brain death was declared within 24 hours of ictus in 30% of the patients and within 3 days in 62%. All patients were using one or more vasopressors, and 61% of the patients received vasopressin for diabetes insipidus. An apnea test could...

Hemodynamic alterations are observed in various neurosurgical procedures and commonly related to different neurogenic mechanisms. However, anesthetic influences on causation of these perturbations or management are rarely investigated and therefore our present knowledge is still limited.In this case of 43-old Caucasian male, propofol boluses aborted the trigeminal cardiac reflex (TCR) induced s...

Kaiabachev, Taha, Zhu [1] have presented a declarative programming paradigm called Functional Reactive Programming, which is based on behaviors and events. An improved system called PFRP uses fixed priority scheduling for tasks. The system allows for the currently executing lower priority tasks to be rolled back to restoring the original state and allowing a higher priority task to run. These a...


 The present study aimed to assess enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and nested-polymerase chain reaction (n-PCR) methods based on B1 gene for the detection of Toxoplasma (T.) gondii in blood milk local Iraqi goats. SAG3 was also used identify genotyping T. goats aborted women Iraq. A total 240 (80 blood, 80 sera, milk) lactating 30 samples from were included this study. 17 (21.2%...
