in pott’s disease (tuberculous spondylitis), involvement of two separate levels of spine is rare. attention to stability of spine prevents delayed progressive kyphosis. a 12-year-old girl presented with neck pain, tenderness and swelling imaging showed cl—c2 and t9-t10 and destruction. mild spastic paraparesis was noticed. preoperative diagnosis was metastasis. t9, t10 and t11 laminectomy and c...

The effect of t10,c12-C18:2 on milk production, and fatty acid (FA) profile of milk fat was studied in 8 goats infused duodenally with t10,c12-C18:2 (2 g.10 h-1) during 3 days, followed by a 2-day infusion of skim milk (SM). The goats were assigned to 4 diets in a factorial arrangement constituted by low (L = 45%) or high (H = 65% of the diet DM) percentage of concentrate without (CS0) or with ...

The reproductive performance of dairy cows may be improved by feeding conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) supplements during early lactation. The mechanism of action of t10,c12 CLA is not clearly known. Our objective was to investigate the effect of t10,c12 CLA on oocyte maturation and lipid composition of cumulus oocyte complexes (COC). The developmental potential of oocytes incubated in in vitro m...

A fluidized-pellet-bed separator with movable sludge hoppers was applied in pilot scale for the separation and thickening of activated sludge mixture liquid. Under the condition of suspension SS around 4,000 mg/L, polymer (CJX103, cationic, MW 5 × 106) dose at a dry solid ratio of 0.003 and upward flow rate at 5.4 m/hr, the fluidized pellet bed performed solid/liquid separation and sludge thick...

Malignant pheochromocytoma is a neuroendocrine tumor that originates from chromaffin tissue. Although osseous metastases are common, metastatic dissemination to the spine rarely occurs.Five years after primary diagnosis of extra-adrenal, abdominal pheochromocytoma and laparoscopic extirpation, a 53-year old patient presented with recurrence of pheochromocytoma involving the spine, the pelvis, b...

BACKGROUND Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) have an increased prevalence of gallstones. AIMS To study prospectively the incidence of gallstones and gall bladder contractility in patients with SCI. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty six consecutive patients with SCI were studied: 18 patients with SCI above thoracic 10 neuronal segment (> T10) and 18 patients with SCI below T10 (< T10). An equ...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition that results in whole-body dysfunction, notably cardiovascular (CV) disruption and disease. Injury-induced destruction of autonomic pathways in conjunction with a progressive decline in physical fitness contribute to the poor CV status of SCI individuals. Despite the wide use of exercise training as a therapeutic option to reduce CV dysfunctio...
