PREMISE OF THE STUDY Shifts in ploidy affect the evolutionary dynamics of genomes in a myriad of ways. Population genetic theory predicts that transposable element (TE) proliferation may follow because the genomewide efficacy of selection should be reduced and the increase in gene copies may mask the deleterious effects of TE insertions. Moreover, in allopolyploids, TEs may further accumulate b...

BACKGROUND Trochanteric bursa injections of corticosteroids and local anesthetics have been shown to provide pain relief for the treatment of greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). However, symptom recurrence and incomplete symptom relief are common. The reason for the variation in response is unclear but may be related to disease-, treatment-, or patient-related factors. OBJECTIVE To det...

The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the cases in which a subcoracoid bursa had been detected using various imaging tools, to discuss imaging features among the different modalities, and to correlate our findings with those of associated shoulder joint disorders. In total, 23 cases of subcoracoid bursa diagnosed imaging studies were retrospectively analyzed. Five of these cases...

Several causes may induce change and atrophy in the bursa of Fabricius (BF). Databases on BF standards are available from published studies, however, updated references are needed to adjust the BF standards to present changes in highly specialized broiler genetic lines. The aim of this study was to evaluate BF-related measurements (weight and dimensions) under controlled conditions that would m...

Many mites were found on bookshelves near the windows in 2 rooms of the Department of Pediatrics on the 4th floor in the Tokai University Hospital. Fortunately, nobody reported being bitten by, or experiencing itching due to, the mites. The arthropods were tentatively identified as adults of the northern fowl mite, Ornithonyssus sylviarum (Canestrini et Frazago, 1877), commonly called "Torisash...

Effect of catecholamines are studied on the bursa of fabricius of chicken. It is found that in epinephrine (E) treated chicken, the lymph follicles are slightly decreased in size. Some amount of nuclear pycnosis is visible in E and norepinephrine (NE) treated chicken. There is no change in the bursa weight and histology in NE treated groups. No deviation is observed in the level of DNA, RNA, to...
