The initial symptoms are probably caused by mechanical occlusion of multiple blood vessels with fat globules that are too large to pass through the capillaries. The vascular occlusion in fat embolism is often temporary or incomplete, as fat globules do not obstruct capillary blood flow completely because of their fluidity and deformability. The late presentation is thought to be a result of hyd...

While most star formation occurs in giant molecular clouds, numerous small clouds and Bok globules are known to each harbor one or a few young stars. Studies of such isolated newborn stars offer insights into the star formation process unencumbered by the confusion that often complicates studies of richer star forming regions. In this chapter, a dozen Bok globules and small clouds have been sel...

The fertilized eggs of E. septemfasciatus are spherical and transparent with buoyancy at 790 to 890 μm (average 821.8±2.0 μm) in diameter with 170 to 230 μm oil globules (average 192.9±0.93 μm). Hatching began approximately 46 and 35 hours after fertilization at 22.0°C and 25.0°C water temperature, respectively. The average total length of newly hatched larvae was 1.75±0.03 mm. Most of the yolk...

F infect ions have been mentioned in ancient scriptures of Hinduism e.g. Atharva Veda and also in the writings of Hippocrates who described mouths affected with aphthous ulcerations which is now recognized as oral thrush. The earliest recognition of fungi as a cause of disease came from discovery of infection in silk worms by “budding globules of vegetable kingdom capable of reproducing themsel...

We report a case of fat-soluble vitamin deficiency in a 14-year old boy who had chronic duodenal obstruction. He presented with periodic unexplained bleeding tendency. The laboratory results showed positive fat globules in stool and prolonged prothrombin time. His further investigation revealed low plasma vitamin A and undetectable plasma vitamin E. After parenteral vitamin K and oral vitamin A...

desoxycholate (10 ml. of 20% solution) which increases the emulsifying power of the blood and so reduces the size of circulating fat globules is limited because in larger doses it produces haemolysis. Next, anticoagulant therapy has been advocated (Cobb and Hillman, 1961). Heparin is supposed to alter the lipoprotein density and would also prevent thrombosis if an occlusion did occur from the f...

Micro lipid droplets fuse with each other in vivo to form larger precursors of milk lipid globules. The extent of fusion dictates the size range of lipid globules in milk. A cell-free system in which micro lipid droplet fusion can be induced has been developed. Fusion was promoted by calcium and a protein complex from cytosol. Exogenously supplied gangliosides were potent fusion-promoting agent...

The over-damped relaxation of elastic networks constructed by contact maps of hierarchically folded fractal (crumpled) polymer globules was investigated in detail. It was found that the relaxation dynamics of an anisotropic fractal globule is very similar to the behavior of biological molecular machines like motor proteins. When it is perturbed, the system quickly relaxes to a low-dimensional m...
