BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to confirm that the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) in the dome wall of the bladder are pacemaker cells, and that the dome wall of the bladder acts as a pacemaker site in the detrusor instability (DI) rat model. MATERIAL AND METHODS The model of DI in Wistar rats was established and urodynamic studies measuring the bladder volume and pressure were perform...

Percutaneous hepatic interventions are generally safe given the fact that liver closely abuts the abdominal wall and hence it is easily accessible. However, the superior portion of liver, adjacent to the diaphragm, commonly referred as the "hepatic dome", presents unique challenges for interventionists. Percutaneous access to the hepatic dome may be restricted by anatomical factors and special ...

Abstract Wind-induced microphone noise complicates infrasound measurements considerably. A wind-shielding dome for signal-to-noise ratio improvement of acoustic pressure frequencies was designed and tested. The semi-spherical shape aimed at maximizing the averaging large atmospheric turbulent eddies while keeping structure reasonably compact. insertion loss measured in a semi-anechoic chamber (...

The Montagne Noire located in the southern part of French Massif Central represents northern South-Variscan Foreland. It is subdivided into three parts. granite-migmatite Axial Zone dome surrounded by non- or weakly metamorphosed Paleozoic sedimentary series. Both and flanks are deformed km-scale, south to southeast facing recumbent folds thrusts sheets. Raman Spectroscopy Carbonaceous Material...

A detailed deuterium excess profile measured along the Dome C EPICA (European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica) core reveals the timing and strength of the sea surface temperature changes at the source regions for Dome C precipitation. We infer that an Oceanic Cold Reversal took place in the southern Indian Ocean, 800 years after the Antarctic Cold Reversal. The temperature gradient between...
