lIT HAS always been my belief-and my limited experience has confirmed iu--that one of the most difficult parts of any piece of writing is to give it a title. It becomes, of course, relatively simple when one has a neatly categorised scientific subject, where one starts with the title and proceeds from there. Even here there can be difficulties, if one wishes the audience to know clearly what is...

was serious. It was an incised wound measuring about 4^ inches in length, which had chipped the bone and caused damage to the brain. On examination of this wound three pieces of bone and about one drachm in weight of brain matter were found at its bottom. The cut was a slanting one. No wound of the dura mater, whence the brain matter might have escaped, could be detected. Owing to the sloping n...

Significant light scattering by dura mater in the visible spectral range seriously restricts the application of noninvasive optical methods to the diagnostics and therapy of brain diseases. We present the results of the study of human dura mater optical clearing in vitro by the glucose solutions with the concentrations 1.5М and 3М in the spectral range 400-700 nm. The efficiency of the tissue o...

In Ethiopia, the coffee production is highly constrained by drought. To overcome such problem, knowing behavior of genotype’s biomass accumulation pattern to different parts under contrasting moisture stress important in selection drought tolerant genotypes. Therefore, objectives present study were evaluate and characterize partitioning patterns Harerghe genotypes as influenced deficit irrigati...

In the cranial vault, suture morphogenesis occurs when the growing cranial bones approximate and overlap or abut one another. Patency of developing sutures is regulated by the underlying dura mater. Once cranial sutures form, bone growth proceeds from the sutures in response to growth signals from the rapidly expanding neurocranium. Facial sutures do not develop in contact with the dura mater. ...

STUDY DESIGN Experimental study in animals. PURPOSE Study the clinical behavior of animals after an induced leakage of cement during vertebroplasty in pigs. Study the distribution of polymethylmetacrilate inside the epidural space and prevertebral muscle. Study the histological findings of the spinal cord and muscles, which contact with cement. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Although vertebroplasty...

Migraine headaches are often precipitated by stress and seem to involve neurogenic inflammation (NI) of the dura mater associated with the sensation of throbbing pain. Trigeminal nerve stimulation had been reported to activate rat dura mast cells and increase vascular permeability, effects inhibited by neonatal pretreatment with capsaicin implicating sensory neuropeptides, such as substance P (...
