background: mycobacterium bovine, as the etiology of bovine tb, involves human in some cases and with mycobacterium tuberculosis are regarded as global health problems. the aim of this study was to extract and compare protein profile of these strains in order to achieve effective biomarkers for diagnosis and the vaccine components. materials and methods: first, the clinical samples were culture...

-1. The phosphoglycerate kinase electrophoretic banding patterns of several Drosophila species were studied. 2. Three banding types were noted: A type with a slowly migrating band of activity, a type with a faster migrating band of activity, and a type with an intermediate migrating band. 3. These banding types appeared to be species specific and may be useful in evolutionary or taxonomical stu...

Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB) was done for the first time in Belgium in 1993. Gastric torsion after band slippage is extremely rare. Literature review of gastric banding and complications in pregnancy did not reveal any case of gastric torsion. Hence, we report this rare case of gastric torsion in a pregnant lady following gastric banding.

Background In the current surgical era PA banding is not indicated as palliation or stage procedure for patients with large VSD and severe PAH. We have reviewed our institutions experience in patients undergoing VSD repair with previously failed PA banding. Failure of PA banding was defined as pulmonary to aortic systolic pressure ratio (PASPR) > 0.8 in period of at least 6 months after palliat...

Triple staining with fluorochromes (DA/DAPI/CMA) and C-banding were used to characterize the composition of Pseudonannolene strinatii heterochromatin. C-banding showed C+ bands of different labeling intensity on chromosomes 1 and 2 in some cells. Fluorochrome staining revealed DAPI+ regions corresponding to the C-banding pattern, indicating that the heterochromatin of this species is abundant i...

Transverse aortic banding in mice is commonly used to produce pressure overload, but the resulting cardiac hypertrophy is variable and the actual load produced is unknown. The purposes of the study were to characterize peripheral blood flow in banded mice using noninvasive Doppler methods, investigate whether changes in flow could predict the amount of cardiac hypertrophy induced and validate t...
