Chimaerula bonai sp. n. is described from the small intestine of Phimosus infuscatus (Lichtenstein) in Paraguay. The new species differs from the other two species of Chimaerula Bona, 1994, i.e., Chinmaerula woodlandi (Prudhoe, 1960) and Chinmaerula leonovi (Belogurov et Zueva, 1968), mainly by the intermediate number of rostellar hooks (30-34 compared to 42-46 in the former and 20-22 in the la...

Glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3β) is a critical protein kinase that phosphorylates numerous proteins in cells and thereby impacts multiple pathways including the β-Catenin/TCF/LEF-1 pathway. MicroRNAs (miRs) are a class of noncoding small RNAs of ∼22 nucleotides in length. Both GSK3β and miR play myriad roles in cell functions including stem cell development, apoptosis, embryogenesis and ...

With surrogate tolerogenesis. the recipient immune system is engrafted within the donor pig before organ transplant. Chimeric pig hearts may resist hyperacute rejection by inducing accommodation. This hypothesis was tested using an ex vivo isolated piglet heart perfusion model. Processed sheep marrow was infused into fetal pigs at 45 days gestation. Heart explants from chimeric or nonchimeric p...

A 46-year-old female was admitted to the hospital with jaundice and pruritus. The patient had no previous history of liver or biliary disease. She had no reported any drug use nor had she any history of cigarette smoking or drinking alcohol. In the physical exam, she had icterus in the sclera of her eyes, and no pathologic exam finding was observed other than mild painless hepatomegaly. There w...

(A) OFC regions in which GM correlated with social influence on value (Binf) (threshold p < 0.001, FWE corrected at p < 0.05; right peak 36 mm 33 mm –10 mm, PFWE = 0.023, T = 5.56, 73 voxels; left peak –33 mm 28 mm –16 mm, ...

An outcome series was conducted over a five-year period of patients attending a community NHS homeopathy clinic in Dorchester, Dorset. 273 new patients were seen. 183 (67%) questionnaires were completed at six months after initial consultation. 44% of patients had been unwell for more than five years; 19% of all patients for more than 15 years. A wide variety of conditions were seen, the larges...
