Cesarean deliveries represent almost one third of US births. Given that repeat cesarean is the most common single indication for cesarean, trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) with subsequent vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) is an important mechanism to reduce the overall cesarean rate. The 2010 National Institutes of Health Conference found that one of the biggest barriers to VBAC is the l...

The form and function of actin in the nucleus have been enigmatic for over 30 years. Recently actin has been assigned numerous functional roles in the nucleus, but its form remains a mystery. The intricate relationship between actin form and function in the cytoplasm implies that understanding the structural properties of nuclear actin is elementary to fully understanding its function. In this ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to develop a system of computerised analysis of digital images of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) that is evidence based, objective and freely available. The paper will present evidence for the reliability and validity of the developed system. METHODS The system of PCO analysis was developed considering current published evidence on visual significan...

7 Post-operative complications (Sequelae). There may be early or late complications. Persistent inflammation in the early post-operative period and posterior capsule opacification in the late period can adversely affect visual results. To avoid or minimise these, a cataract surgeon should take particular care in post-operative follow-up, with early detection and treatment of complications. Rout...

in this study, the morphology and organization of pituitary was investigated prior to hatching and at larval, juvenile and adult stages of the rutilus frisii  kutum. the eggs were kept in aquaria to study the stages before hatching. fingerling reaching 1 gr of weight were maintained in laboratory condition for 5 month. specimens larger than 1 gr up to adult stage were obtain either from fish cu...

Soluble sugar accumulation pattern and contents were studied in two Iranian melon cultivars, ‘Suski Sabz’ and ‘Jalali Zard’ (Cucumis melo L. Inodorous). Sucrose, glucose and fructose contents were determined in different mesocarp tissues of developing fruits during days after pollination (DAP). They were characterised by enhanced accumulation of glucose and fructose during early fruit developme...
