Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital malformation whereby the splenic tissue is found attached or surrounded by the testis, and presents in both continuous and discontinuous forms. Splenogonadal fusion may be misinterpreted as a primary malignant testicular or an adenomatoid tumor. Knowledge about the existence of such an entity is essential in order to preserve the testis during surgical ...

Major efforts are underway to develop fusion energy for use in electric power production in the furture. While fusion reactor concepts are being developed, appropriate attention must be given to problems relvant to the utility requirements which are likely to be encountered in the commercialization phase. In this paper the expected fusion plant availability is assessed in detail due to the impo...

background: most cancer cells become resistant to anti-cancer agents. in the last few years, a new approach for targeted therapy of human cancer has been developed using immunotoxins which comprise both the cell targeting and the cell killing moieties. methods: in the present study, the recombinant shiga toxin a1 subunit fused to human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (a1-gm-csf...

distal junctional kyphosis (djk) is a radiographic finding in patients that undergo spinal instrumentation and fusion, since there is an abrupt transition between fixed and mobile spinal segments.the true incidence of djk is variable in literature and seems that has a multifactorial etiology. a consecutive series of 130 patients (mean age 15.6 years) with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis who und...

tooth fusion is a developmental anomaly characterized by the :union: between the dentin and/or enamel of at least two separately developing teeth. the fusion of posterior teeth is an uncommon occurrence. in this article, we report a rare case of unilateral fusion of a mandibular second molar with a paramolar. carious exposure mandated endodontic treatment. the unusual morphology and complex roo...

introduction: reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) assay is a useful tool for the detection of fusion transcript resulting from specific chromosomal translocation of the leukemia cells. a specific chromosomal abnormality, the philadelphia chromosome (ph), is present in 90% to 95% of cml patients.the aberration results from a reciprocal translocation between chromosome 9 and ...
