The dysmetabolic syndrome of insulin resistance and visceral obesity is characterized by elevated plasma concentration of triacylglycerol-rich lipoprotein (TRL) remnants that may be related to increased cardiovascular risk. Perturbed hepato-intestinal cholesterol metabolism may play a contributory role in this abnormality. We therefore investigated the association between plasma markers of chol...

Sediments continuously record variations of the Earth's magnetic field and thus provide an important archive for studying the geodynamo. The recording process occurs as magnetic grains partially align with the geomagnetic field during and after sediment deposition, generating a depositional remanent magnetization (DRM) or post-DRM (PDRM). (P)DRM acquisition mechanisms have been investigated for...

The standard equilibrium equation for magnetized plasma is extended to account for the magnetization force. A factor of the pressure gradient arising from the magnetic decomposition of the Hall term survives the limit of vanishing magnetization and is canceled by a contribution from the magnetization force, such that the proposed equation reduces to the standard form in the free current limit. ...

A 47-year-old woman underwent prophylactic subtotal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (IRA) for familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) 18 years ago. She underwent 5 transanal endoscopic microsurgeries for rectal remnant polyps, and was referred for the treatment of rectal remnant polyp recurrence. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was performed to remove multiple polypoid lesions that ci...

in the current investigation, fe3o4 water-based nanofluids were synthesized to examine the effect of an alternative 3-d external magnetic field on its thermal behavioral pattern. a solvothermal method was used to prepare the magnetite nanoparticles. to characterize the nanoparticles, the study employed transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,...

The Monogem ring is a bright, diffuse, 25◦-diameter supernova remnant easily visible in soft X-ray images of the sky. Projected within the ring is a young radio pulsar, PSR B0656+14. An association between the remnant and pulsar has been considered, but was seemingly ruled out by the direction and magnitude of the pulsar proper motion and by a distance estimate that placed the pulsar twice as f...

BACKGROUND Cystic duct adenocarcinoma is a rare disease because the cystic duct has a short length and a narrow cavity. Cystic duct adenocarcinoma accounts for 8% of all gallbladder adenocarcinoma; of these, adenocarcinoma that develops from the remnant cystic duct after cholecystectomy is extremely rare. We report a case of incidentally detected adenocarcinoma that developed from the remnant c...

Human prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders caused by misfolding of the prion protein. There are no useful biomarkers of disease progression. Cerebral cortex spongiform change, one of the classical pathological features of prion disease, resolves in prion-infected transgenic mice following prion protein gene knockout. We investigated the cross-sectional, longitudinal and post-mor...

Cortical flows mediate anteroposterior polarization in Caenorhabditis elegans by generating two mutually exclusive membrane domains. However, factors downstream of anteroposterior polarity that establish the dorsoventral axis remain elusive. Here, we show that rotational cortical flow orthogonal to the anteroposterior axis during the division of the AB blastomere in the two-cell embryo position...
