Head shape and stylet morphology of males of 90 populations of M. arenaria, M. hapla, M. incognita, and M. javanica from geographic regions of the world were compared by light microscopy (LM). In addition, stylets of one population each of M. arenaria, M. incognita, and M. javanica and three different chromosomal forms of M. hapla race A and two of race B were excised and examined with a scanni...

Nasotracheal intubation is frequently used for airway management during maxillofacial surgery. Complications such as haemorrhage occur more frequently with this route of intubation than with the orotracheal route. This case report describes a male patient aged 51 yr who developed severe epistaxis after the tube had passed the nares. As an additional complication laryngoscopy and endotracheal in...

Introduction: The C-MAC D-blade was designed for difficult airway intubation scenarios. To facilitate easier and faster endotracheal in the laryngoscopy paradox, an introducer is preferred. Hence, we decided to conduct a study compare 60˚ angled stylet gum elastic bougie as aids while using laryngoscope simulated setting. Objective: ease of oral with use (60˚ stylet) versus performed over inser...

Background: The bevel position of tracheal tube (TT) affects the success rate while using intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA). present study compared intubation on basis anterior and posterior conventional polyvinylchloride (PVC) through an ILMA. Methods: Two hundred adult ASA I or II patients, having Mallampati class 1 2 airway, undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia were inc...

A new species. Quinisulcius solani, is described and illustrated from specimens on Solanum tuberosum from Murree Hills, Pakistan. Q. solani n.sp. differs from its closest relative, Q. acutus (Allen, 1955) Siddiqi, 1971, by its spiral to open 'C' shaped body and stylet length of 19 mun, vs. 17 mum in Q. acutus. In Q. acutus the stylet knobs project anteriorly but slope posteriorly in Q. solani n...

A three-dimensional model of the stomatostylet and associated structures has been reconstructed from serial thin sections of Aphelenchus avenae, a representative of Tylenchomorpha, a group including most plant parasitic nematodes. The reconstruction is compared with previous work on bacteriovorous cephalobids and rhabditids to better understand the evolution of the stylet and its associated cel...

Lygus hesperus Knight (Hemiptera: Miridae) is a key pest of cotton (Gossypium spp.) in the western United States that injures ßoral buds (squares) and developing fruit (bolls). Levels of Lygus-induced damage to cotton can vary by Lygus ages or gender, and these variations complicate interpretation of studies designed to elucidate Lygus and cotton interactions. Variations in observed injury may ...

The purpose of this study is to describe a technical modification of percutaneous tracheostomy that combines principles of the Percu Twist™ and the Griggs-Portex® methods in a reusable kit. One hundred patients underwent the procedure. There were no false passage, tube misplacement, or deaths related to the procedure. There were two minor bleedings managed conservatively. The technical modifica...
