Pleomorphism and Iridescence in Tenacibaculum geojense

Marine bacteria in the genus Tenacibaculum display diverse cell types, ranging from short rods to long filaments to coccoidal forms, and many strains have also been reported to be iridescent. However, the conditions that favor different cell types in these bacteria are largely unknown, and the morphological or physiological features that contribute to iridescence are likewise incompletely resol...

Isolated spinal neurocysticercosis with clinical pleomorphism.

Neurocysticercosis, involvement of the central nervous system by taenia solium, is one of the most common parasitic diseases worldwide. However, isolated spinal involvement by neurocysticercosis, either intramedullary or extramedullary, is uncommon. The authors report a case of C1-C2 intradural extramedullary neurocysticercosis in a young male that presented initially with signs of raised intra...

Pleomorphism and Pleobiosis of Bacillus Bifidus Communis

From the foregoing experiments, the conclusion may be drawn that B. bifidus communis of Tissier has an aerobic phase, in which it resembles B. mesentericus fuscus. Numerous intermediate phases can occur between these two extremes; and their morphological and biological variabilities demand the utmost attention in order to interpret more intelligently the various phases of a given organism, cons...

Ventricular tachycardia "pleomorphism" induced by chest thump.

Figure 1 represents the electrocardiographic tracings obtained from a 59-year-old man admitted with an acute anterior wall myocardial infarction. Several hours following admission, ventricular tachycardia at a rate of 125 beats! mm appeared (Fig 1, top strip). This tachycardia was easily terminated by a chest thump. Five minutes later, ventricular tachycardia with identical morphology but faste...
