The absence of longitudinal bands in fish chromosomes has been associated with technical problems in chromosome preparations or the absence of a structural compartmentalization in the fish genome. In the present study, a R-banding pattern was obtained using a replication banding technique by in vivo treatment with 5-bromodeoxyuridine (5-BrdU). G-banding patterns were obtained after trypsin trea...

OBJECTIVE We sought to compare the development of paraurethral banding and subsequent dyspareunia in women undergoing either a transobturator (TO) or retropubic (RP) sling. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a retrospective cohort study comparing women treated with either a TO or RP sling during a 10-month period. RESULTS A total of 25 TO sling patients and 28 RP sling patients were compared in the ...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dual chest banding using elastic bands on the shoulder pain of a scapular dyskinesis patient with winging and an elevated scapula. [Subject] The subject was a 40-year-old male scapular dyskinesis patient with winging, an elevated scapula, and shoulder pain. [Methods] This study developed a method of dual chest banding using el...

S INCE THE ORIGINAL CLINICAL REPORT of Muller and Dammann in 1952,’ the use of pulmonary artery banding in small infants with congestive heart failure due to large ventricular septal defects has been widely recognized and used as a beneficial, palliative procedure of reasonable risk.2’ Only limited clinical information is available concerning the use of banding in the treatment of other types o...

It is shown by a crystallographic etching technique that deformation banding is an important deformation mode in copper. In a cold rolled coarse grain copper, deformation banding forms in a three dimensional manner dividing grains into a large number of bands of different orientations. The influence of this important, but long ignored deformation mode, is studied by incorporating it into the Ta...

Banding can be a major defect in inkjet printing. Knowing the visual sensitivity threshold of inkjet banding is therefore useful for understanding and pushing the technological limit of inkjet printing. There are many reports on the measurement of the human contrast sensitivity using self-luminous sinusoidal contrast targets. There are also reports on measuring the contrast sensitivity of sinus...

Scinax species are still underrepresented in cytogenetic studies, mainly with respect to populations from northeastern and northern Brazil. In this study, we provide new chromosomal information on Scinax boesemani, S. camposseabrai, S. garbei, S. pachycrus, S. trilineatus and S. x-signatus, all belonging to clade S. ruber. They were collected at two locations in the Caatinga biome (northeastern...

Banding of esophageal varices was done in 29 patients suffering from acute variceal bleeding. In 13 patients this was the first bleed while in 16 it was recurrent. Five patients had large grade III (polypold) varices while others had grade II varices. Banding was done using multi band ligator and 4-6 bands were fired per session. Repeat endoscopy at 3 weeks revealed persistance of varices requi...

Kerodon acrobata is a caviidae rodent endemic from Brazilian Cerrado. It was described only in 1997 and the data about it is very scarce. The aim of this work was to characterize the karyotype of K. acrobata. Giemsa staining, nucleolar organizer region (NOR) banding, C-positive heterochromatin banding and DAPI fluorescence were used in N metaphases of a specimen collected in Asa Branca Farm, in...
