Pott puffy tumor (PPT) is an abscess of the subperiosteal os, frontalis. Frontalis often found in cranial osteomyelitis. Cranial osteomyelitis inflammatory process bones, mainly caused by pyogenic organisms. The most common cause developing countries paranasal sinusitis. One causes PPT infection frontal sinus. Intracranial complications are PPT, one which a cerebral lobe. In this case report, p...

A simple, small-bolt method was developed and refined for evaluating and screening treatments being considered as prophylactics against bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae). Using this method, 4 insecticide products (3 active ingredients) were evaluated against the southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann, intermittently during a period spanning 1 day to 9 months ...

PURPOSE To compare two sling designs (single loop or double pentagon) and a variety of suture material that was used in frontalis suspension surgery for correction of upper eyelid ptosis. DESIGN Retrospective, nonrandomized, comparative interventional case series. METHODS Medical record review of 99 patients (164 surgeries) who underwent frontalis suspension surgery for upper eyelid ptosis ...

1 The emergence pattern of Thanasimus dubius (F.) (Coleoptera: Cleridae), a common predator of the southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), was studied under ®eld conditions across different seasons. A simple statistical model was then developed to characterize the emergence data, using the truncated geometric distribution. Data are also presented on the...

The lowland tailorbirds of Southeast Asia (Orthotomus) offer an excellent opportunity for comparative biogeography because of their diversity in the Greater Sunda and Philippine islands. We reconstructed the phylogeny of all species in the genus using maximum likelihood, Bayesian, and coalescent methods on DNA sequences of three gene segments: an autosomal intron (TGF), a Z-linked intron (MUSK)...

Genetic sampling and molecular investigations are important parts of studying wild populations. However, collecting tissues from free-ranging animals can be difficult or impractical. This study develops a sampling and extraction protocol for template DNA from faecal material collected in a marine environment from small cetaceans. DNA was extracted from faecal material of free-ranging Atlantic s...
