OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Removal of the medial orbital wall for sinonasal tumor involvement is required to obtain complete oncologic resection. However, orbital fat herniation can produce significant morbidity, including enophthalmos and diplopia. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate outcomes following use of porcine small intestine submucosa (SIS) grafts for orbital reconstruction fol...

Plasma potential is a key parameter in plasma discharge or fusion to control plasma–wall interaction ExB drift. The magnitude of depends on the overall energy transmitted via direct current (dc) radio frequency (RF) devices such as electrodes antennas. Knowing from exciting source useful prevent high energetic fluxes wall improve confinement explaining shear velocity. aim present model calculat...

Carnocyclin A (CCLA) is an antimicrobial peptide produced by Carnobacterium maltaromaticum ATCC PTA-5313, which can be used to control the growth of Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat meat products. The aim of this research was to elucidate the cellular responses of L. monocytogenes 08-5923 exposed to a sublethal dose of CCLA. Microarray, quantitative reverse transcription-PCR, tandem mass ...

rectal diverticulum is a rare condition in dogs characterized by formation of a pouch or sac due to hernial protrusion of the mucous membranes through a defect in the muscular coat of the rectum. a 12-year-old male terrier dog was admitted with a history of a left perineal swelling, dyschezia and tenesmus during the last five months. digital rectal examination identified a weakness in the left ...
