Syngonanthus weddellii var. gracilis Moldenke, (1973) was described very briefly based on a single collection. A careful analysis reveals that this variety has dimerous flowers, free petals of the pistillate flower and bifid stigmatic branches. It is therefore misplaced in Syngonanthus Ruhland (1900). We transfer it to Paepalanthus Mart. (1834) at the species level, as it is distinct from morph...

The isolation and partial purification of mevalonic acid kinase from Euglena gracilis is described. The product of the reaction MVA-5-P has been characterized by paper chromatography. The apparent Km values for l-mevalonic acid, ATP, and Mg(2+) are 3 x 10(-5)m, 6 x 10(-3)m, and 9 x 10(-3)m, respectively. A concentration of 1 x 10(-3)mp-hydroxymercuribenzoate completely inactivates the enzyme. A...

Petaurus gracilis (De Vis, 1883) is a gliding possum commonly known as the mahogany glider. This species is endemic to open sclerophyll woodland between Tully and Ingham in North Queensland, Australia. Within its distribution P. gracilis occurs in forests dominated by trees of the genera Eucalyptus, Corymbia, Melaleuca, and Acacia. This species is recognized as an endangered species because of ...

Examination of the holotype of the tetragnathid spider Sternospina concretipalpis Schmidt & Krause, 1993 demonstrates that the extraordinary claim by the authors of the original description of this species that the male palps are fused is unfounded. The monotypic genus Sternospina Schmidt & Krause, 1993 is a junior synonym of Tylorida Simon, 1894 and S. concretipalpis is a junior synonym of the...

The use of hamstring tendons for ACL reconstruction has become more accepted in the recent years. Many authors have shown good results using semitendinosus and gracilis grafts (1, 2, 3) while others have had similar results using the quadrupled semitendinosus alone (4, 5, 6). Some, however, have been concerned about the possibility of muscular weakness and its effects on strength and stability ...

BACKGROUND Rectovaginal fistula is defined as a result of an abnormal connection between the rectum and vagina. It is often a result of inflammatory bowel disease, iatrogenic illness, malignancy or trauma. Rectovaginal fistula treatment is dependent on the classification of the fistula (simple or complex). There are few reports on transposition of gracilis muscle as a feasible option for treatm...

The alien polydesmid millipede Oxidus gracilis is recorded from continental Chile based on new material revised. distribution in the country was mapped by combination of records collected, preserved specimens and observations Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).

Aim. To report a unique case of retroperitoneal urinoma extending to the scrotum through the spermatic cord and successfully treated with nephrostomy, drainage, and gracilis muscle flap.
