The JAK/STAT signaling pathway plays important roles in vertebrate development and the regulation of complex cellular processes. Components of the pathway are conserved in Dictyostelium, Caenorhabditis, and Drosophila, yet the complete sequencing and annotation of the D. melanogaster and C. elegans genomes has failed to identify a receptor, raising the possibility that an alternative type of re...

The angiographic changes in neck remnants of ruptured cerebral aneurysms treated with Guglielmi detachable coils (GDCs) were evaluated in the acute stage to analyze the important radiological and clinical factors. The clinical and radiological data of 37 patients with a residual neck of a ruptured cerebral aneurysm treated with GDC were reviewed. The angiographic changes on follow-up angiograph...

The atmospheric properties above three sites (Dome C, Dome A and the South Pole) on the Internal Antarctic Plateau are investigated for astronomical applications using the monthly median of the analyses from ECMWF (the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts). Radiosoundings extended on a yearly time scale at the South Pole and Dome C are used to quantify the reliability of the ECMWF...

dehbid mylonite nappes associated with the tutak gneiss dome as the zagros hinterland involved-basement window in the zagros orogenic belt has significant components of dextral sense of shear along the mylonite nappes and are related to the high proportion of simple shear relative to pure shear deformation. kinematic vorticity analysis (wk) was made in order to determination of relative amounts...

BACKGROUND The Brugada syndrome is characterized by marked ST-segment elevation in the right precordial ECG leads and is associated with a high incidence of sudden and unexpected arrhythmic death. Our study examines the cellular basis for this syndrome. METHODS AND RESULTS Using arterially perfused wedges of canine right ventricle (RV), we simultaneously recorded transmembrane action potentia...

The dome of the talus is the part that articulates with the ankle mortice formed by the lower articular surfaces of tibia and fibula. A fracture of this part of the talus may be called a dome fracture. Such fractures are not common and the significance of the original radiographic appearance is not always appreciated. Definitive treatment is therefore often unnecessarily delayed ; this has been...

optical rehabilitation of the patient with aphakia who cannot tolerate contact lenses present a therapeutic challenge. in the absence of capsular support, anterior chamber lenses have been widely used. on the other hand intraocular lens implantation of scleral sutured posterior chamber intraocular lens during penterating keratoplasty or insufficient iris support is recommended. the purpose of t...

This study seeks to evaluate the economic implication of a biogas digester built from composite material ascertain its cost effectiveness. The feasibility conducted indicates that brick made only fixed dome costs between USD 3193.99 and 4471.59. high is attributed construction material, thus prompting need use materials lower for affordability sustainability. Hence, under was comprising high-de...
