Replication report: No spontaneous alternation in gerbils

Spontaneous Alternation Behavior in Human Neutrophils

Spontaneous alternation in marine crabs: invasive versus native species.

Organisms ranging from paramecia to humans tend to explore places that have been least recently explored, which is referred to as spontaneous alternation. Although organisms rely on different sources of information in alternating between places, the emergent behavioral pattern is likely advantageous during exploration and foraging. Under this rationale, continuous spontaneous alternation perfor...

Transient appearance of "no-reflow" phenomenon in Mongolian gerbils.

We investigated the existence of the "no-reflow" phenomenon in focal cerebral ischemia. Regional cerebral blood flow was studied in Mongolian gerbils perfused with a carbon-black particle suspension after cerebral ischemia prior to decapitation and compared with 14C-antipyrine autoradiographic images. The correlation between the occurrence of the "no-reflow" phenomenon and systemic arterial blo...

Spontaneous Pulmonary Hematoma with No Underlying Causes: A Case Report

A 57-year-old male patient was admitted to our center because of a cystic mass on the lower portion of the right major fissure that was found incidentally by chest X-ray. He did not have a history of trauma or anticoagulant use. The lesion was removed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Pathological examination revealed an organizing pulmonary hematoma without any complications, and a foll...

Balanced Chromosomal Rearrangement in Recurrent Spontaneous Abortions: A Case Report

One of the major causes of spontaneous abortion before the fourth month of pregnancy is chromosomal abnormalities. We report an unusual case of a familial balanced chromosomal translocation in a consanguineous couple who experienced 4 spontaneous abortions. Chromosomal studies were performed on the basis of G-banding technique at high resolution and revealed 46, XX, t (16 6) (p12 q26) and 46, X...
