BACKGROUND Musculoskeletal joint pain of varied etiology can be diagnosed and treated with joint and soft-tissue corticosteroid injections. PURPOSE The purpose of our study was to compare patients' bodily pain and quality of life (QOL), in addition to the procedural benefit and patient satisfaction, before and after musculoskeletal injections in the office setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS Pati...

Olecranon bursal involvement due to tuberculosis is not often seen in literature. Involvement is often seen in the subdeltoid and trochanteric bursa, with concomitant skeletal involvement. We report a patient with isolated tuberculous granuloma of the olecranon bursa with no comorbid illness.

The expression of progesterone receptor (PR) and its induction by oestradiol during the embryogenesis of the chick bursa of Fabricius (BF) were studied by immunohistochemistry using three different polyclonal antibodies to the chicken oviduct PR. Mesenchymal cells of the cloacal area surrounding the bursa primordium in controls (without exogenous oestrogen) express the PR between 9 and 11 days ...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Shifts in ploidy affect the evolutionary dynamics of genomes in a myriad of ways. Population genetic theory predicts that transposable element (TE) proliferation may follow because the genomewide efficacy of selection should be reduced and the increase in gene copies may mask the deleterious effects of TE insertions. Moreover, in allopolyploids, TEs may further accumulate b...
