BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study was undertaken to examine the relationship between collateral flow and outcome after local intraarterial thrombolytic treatment for basilar artery thrombosis. METHODS Twenty-four patients with symptomatic basilar thrombosis were treated with intraarterial urokinase. Angiograms at the time of treatment were analyzed to characterize collateral flow. The number ...

Abstract Background Cotton ( Gossypium spp.) is one of the most important economic crops worldwide, and its production plays an role in economy many countries. Genetically modified herbicide-tolerant (GMHT) crops, which were developed to minimize losses caused by weeds, have gradually become widely adopted genetically world due their environmental benefits. However, potential ecological risks G...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Transcranial color-coded duplex ultrasonography combined with common carotid artery (CCA) compression can be used to assess the collateral function of the circle of Willis. The aim of this study was to assess the unknown fraction of hemodynamic functional anterior and posterior communicating arteries (AcoA and PcoA, respectively) in an atherosclerotic population with no c...

In Asia, enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA) is the most frequent category of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. ERA has a strong association with human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 and subclinical gut inflammation. In an HLA-B27 transgenic rat model, the presence of Bacteroides bacteria in the gut appears to cause spondyloarthropathy (SpA). Thus, we studied gut microbiota in children with ERA. Stool...

Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.), considered as the ancestor of cultivated trees in Arasbaran region, is a medicinally and economically plant species. However, little is known about genetic diversity, breeding programs, and population structure of this species in mentioned region. Keeping this in view, the main objectives of present study were to analysis the genetic diversity, phyloge...

The classification of bamboos based on floral morphology and reproductive characters is very hard due to erratic flowering behavior and unusually long reproductive cycle. The application of reliable and effective DNA molecular markers is highly essential to address this problem. In the present investigation, inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers were employed to study phylogenetic relati...

A detailed understanding of microbial ecology in different supraglacial habitats is important due to the unprecedented speed of glacier retreat. Differences in bacterial diversity and community structure between glacial snow and glacial soil on the Chongce Ice Cap were assessed using 454 pyrosequencing. Based on rarefaction curves, Chao1, ACE, and Shannon indices, we found that bacterial divers...

Abstract The native vs. exotic status of reed canarygrass (RCG), a major invasive species Minnesota wetlands, is unknown. aim this study was to investigate enhance its management. Genetic comparison wild RCG populations from six and Czech Republic rivers performed. A total 2521 polymorphic SNP markers (single nucleotide polymorphisms) were used evaluate 478 samples across all collections. In th...

In thirteen patients capillary blood samples were obtained for measurement of pH and Pcoa immediately after the induction dose of thiopentone, after 45 minutes of 2 per cent halothane breathed spontaneously (with nitrous oxide and oxygen), and 30 minutes postoperatively. A very variable rise in Pco2 was observed which did not correlate well with changes in pulse rate, blood pressure, respirator...

European lineages of Apis mellifera were first introduced into America for beekeeping purposes. A subsequent introduction and accidental release A. m. scutellata resulted in hybridization events that gave rise to Africanized populations rapidly spread throughout the continent. In Argentina, honey bees (AHBs) have been mostly detected northern regions territory, represent a valuable genetic reso...
