Ankyloblepharon is defined by partial or complete adhesion of the ciliary edges of superior and inferior eyelids. It is usually a sporadic isolated malformation in which the upper and lower lids are joined by tags. Although it is an uncommon and benign condition, its presence should alert the clinician to the possibility of other important disorders. We report a case of a new born who had a spo...

Spoilage characterised by bulging of lids and gas formation affected various product lots of different marinated herring types. Microbiological analyses resulted in growth on MRS and Rogosa SL agar. Altogether, 206 randomly selected colonies from two unspoiled and ten spoiled samples were characterised using phenotypical key tests and a 16 + 23S rRNA gene-based RFLP identification database. L. ...

Graft-induced dyskinesia (GID) is a serious complication induced by dopamine (DA) cell transplantation in parkinsonian patients. We have recently shown that DA D2 receptor blockade produces sticking blockade of dyskinesia induced by amphetamine in grafted 6OHDA-lesioned rats, a model of GID. This study was designed to investigate whether blockade of DA D1 receptors could produce similar outcome...
