groups indicates that conductors probably do not engage different neural populations to perform the task. From magnetoencephalographic recordings, the attention effect is known to arise in the secondary auditory cortex, an area also implicated from functional imaging. Improved learning-induced use of spectral cues generated by the head and outer ears, and analysed by the auditory cortex, might ...

First reported by Nager in 1927, unilateral vocal cord paralysis associated with thyroid disease suggests the malignant and irreversible nature of the thyroid lesion. This condition is rarely seen in benign thyroid diseases, and the function of the vocal cord does not usually return. We present a 54-year-old woman with a history of right hemithyroidectomy for benign thyroid nodule, who had an e...

REC8 is a master regulator of chromatin structure and function during meiosis. Here, we dissected the functions of absence of first division (afd1), a maize rec8/alpha-kleisin homolog, using a unique afd1 allelic series. The first observable defect in afd1 mutants is the inability to make a leptotene chromosome. AFD1 protein is required for elongation of axial elements but not for their initial...

A case of the Jansen type of metaphysial dysostosis, followed for fifteen years from childhood to the age of nineteen, is reported. Radiographs taken at five years revealed the characteristic metaphysial changes in all the tubular bones, especially those of the hands and feet. The acetabular and glenoid areas, the costochondral junctions and the sternal ends of the clavicles were also involved....

Hutchinson (1897) described a disorder in which ptosis was associated with paralysis of the other extraocular muscles to which he gave the name "external ophthalmoplegia". Fuchs (I890) reported five patients with ptosis, in two of whom the disorder was familial, and Dutil (I892) and Delord (I903) published two other cases of an unusual familial form of dysphagia associated with ptosis. The prev...

The object of the study was to formulate and evaluate Aceclofenac orodispersible tablets (ODT) by wet granulation method using different super disintegrants in different concentrations. Orodispersible tablets produce rapid dissolution of drug and absorption thereby producing rapid onset of action. Five batches (AFD1, AFD2, AFD3, AFD4, AFD5) of Aceclofenac orodispersible tablets were prepared an...

Vitiligo is an acquired, chronic, multifactorial disorder which involves complex interactions between genetic risk factors and environmental triggers. It is characterized by scattered circumscribed depigmented macules and patches anywhere on the skin that result from loss of functional melanocytes. According to our statistical data, 1.6% of the general population in Croatia suffers from vitilig...

BACKGROUND Shwachman-Diamond syndrome is an inherited multisystem disorder characterized by bone marrow and pancreatic dysfunction as well as metaphyseal dysostosis. Ninety percent of the patients have mutations in the Shwachman-Bodian-Diamond syndrome gene (SBDS). The relationship between SBDS and cell survival is unknown. In this study we investigated whether deficiency of the SBDS protein ca...

À partir d’un extrait des Souffrances du jeune Werther , « Chaque arbre, chaque haie est un bouquet de fleurs ; on voudrait se voir changé en hanneton pour nager dans cette mer parfums et y puiser sa nourriture », l’enchaînement l’enchâssement propositions qui le composent, nous voudrions traiter d’une question, à faces multiples, relevant la sémantique référentielle logique, part, textuelle, l...
