During programmed cell death (PCD) apoptosis is controlled by many factors such as proteases. With no specific protease (s) known during PCD in the developing nervous system so far, we sought to determine if any specific protease (s) is involved in this process and therefore used different protease inhibitors during PCD (from embryonic day 6 to 10) in chick embryos. Among the inhibitors commerc...

The efficiency of emulsion injection as an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method is investigated in a synthetic porous medium consisting sintered bi-disperse glass beads, which emulates the porosity and permeability real oil-bearing rocks. Synthetic seawater oil-in-water are successively used to displace mineral initially saturates space. Micro-CT images with 4 ?m resolution acquired at end differ...

Non-ketotic hyperglycemia with hemichorea-Hemiballismus (HGSC) is a rare complication of non-equilibrated diabetic disease characterized by continuous rapid, non-rhythmic, involuntary unilateral movement the extremities, caused in most cases decreased activity contralateral subthalamic nucleus basal ganglia. It may reveal undiagnosed diabetes. We describe here case an 84-year-old Moroccan woman...

neurite outgrowth from dorsal root ganglion (drg) explants is a method of evaluating neurotrophic activity of growth factors. when complete medium containing collagen was supplemented with nerve growth factor (ngf) drg outgrowth was observed after 18 h. in the absence of ngf and in the presence of collagen, the drg outgrowth took place after 72 h. in wells not supplemented with collagen gel in ...
