We aimed to develop alternative fishing gear for catching the common octopus, to decrease the use of bait and operating costs in comparison to commercial net pots. A tubular-type pot was designed, and behavioral responses of the common octopus were experimentally monitored in tank and replicated 10 times to compare fishing performances between 300 experimental and 300 commercial net pots in the...

CEA: Carcinoembryonic antigens EP: Eccrine poroma E ccrine poroma (EP) is a benign neoplasm of the eccrine terminal duct, composed of epithelial cells that show tubular differentiation. EP often presents as a reddish nodule with a predilection for the distal extremities. This report describes a lesion with the clinical and dermoscopic findings of a seborrheic keratosis. However, histopathologic...

A 20-month-old female Boxer dog presented significant increase on the bilateral volume of the maxillaries. The necropsy revealed that the kidneys were reduced in size, pale, with lobular aspect, and reduced cortical-medullar ratio. The maxillaries cutting surface revealed trabecular aspect of brownreddish color. In addition, the lesions observed by microscopy (asynchronic differentiation of nep...

a case of renal tubular acidosis (rta) who had gradual onset of paralysis of lower extremities and persisted for a long time is presented. his primary workups were mistaken for muscular dystrophy. eventually, an abdominal ultrasonography revealed small stones in both of the kidneys and his workup for the stones were in favor of distal renal tubular acidosis and advanced rickets with hypokalemia...

Title of Document: TUBULAR PERFUSION SYSTEM BIOREACTOR FOR THE DYNAMIC CULTURE OF HUMAN MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS Andrew Bryan Yeatts, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Directed By: Associate Professor John P. Fisher, Fischell Department of Bioengineering In vitro culture techniques must be improved in order to increase the feasibility of cell based tissue engineering strategies. Limitations of current t...

The spatial pattern of cellular differentiation was studied during fruiting body formation in Polysphondylium pallidum using 3 different staining methods: Calcofluor fluorescence (cellulose accumulation), neutral red (prestalk cells) and immunofluorescence (prespore cells). Neutral-red staining revealed the existence of a clear prestalk region which becomes evident during aggregation and contin...

Epithelial inclusions were detected in myocardium of a 2-month-old male Holstein calf. Microscopically,nonpurulent myocarditis along with focal tubular and acinar structures covered with cuboidal epithelial cellswas seen in the myocardium. Most tubular and acinar structures stained with Masson’s trichrome were foundto be surrounded with a dense collagen. Tubular and acinar structures had PAS po...

Renal tubular dysgenesis is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by short, abnormally developed cortical tubules that lack proximal differentiation. Despite the lack of normal proximal tubules, the major site of water resorption in the kidney, the principal clinical manifestations are caused by fetal and neonatal oliguria. The kidneys in three cases of neonatal renal tubular dysgenesi...
