abstract background: critical care patients are at higher risk for untreated pain. pain has persistent and untreated effects on most of the body systems and results in development of complications, chronic pain, and increased length of stay. the aim of this study was to determine the effects of the implementation of a pain management program on the length of stay in patients with decreased leve...

Schwann cells are recognized by their capacity of producing single internodes of myelin around axons of the peripheral nervous system. In the ethidium bromide (EB) model of primary demyelination in the brainstem, it is observed the entry of Schwann cells into the central nervous system in order to contribute to the myelin repair performed by the oligodendrocytes that survived to the EB gliotoxi...

Animal and plant cells compartmentalize to perform morphogenetic functions. Compartmentalization of myelin-forming Schwann cells may favor elongation of myelin segments to the size required for efficient conduction of nerve impulses. Compartments in myelinated fibers were described by Ramón y Cajal and depend on periaxin, mutated in the hereditary neuropathy Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4F ...

In vitro raised shoots of Plumbago rosea L. were infected with A4 strain of Agrobacterium rhizogenes to initiate hairy root formation, which produced 3.0±0.33 hairy roots per incision on explants in 20 d incubation. Southern blot analysis confirmed the integration of T-DNA into the genome of the roots. The hairy roots were cultured on MS agar medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/L BAP to induce the ...

Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is a meadow and pasture species in natural habitats also cultivated used for animal nutrition. The aim of this research was the assessment diversity 46 red accessions based on morpho-productive traits. traits were investigated according to UPOV descriptors clover-number internodes, number branches, stem length, thickness, middle leaflet width, green matter yie...

Bamboo culm is in the form of a tube/pipe, composed internodes which are bounded by partition/diaphragm (node). Anatomically, bamboo vascular bundles and parenchyma ground tissue. One constituents fibers that grouped to fiber sheath. The anatomical structure nodes thought influence strength strips, including tensile strength. This study aimed determine characteristics (distribution percentage) ...

Crops drought tolerance is a trait of outmost importance for agriculture especially today when climate change affecting more the production food and feed. The scope this article to evaluate in vitro stress response Nicotiana tabacum L., “Baladi”. experiment was set up four successive stages starting with seedling development, hypocotyl cultivation, three generations micropropagation, pre-acclim...
