We report the first case of a male child with both Caroli disease and vein of Galen malformation. The neonate presented to our department with congestive heart failure as a result of the intracranial arteriovenous high-flow shunt. Over time, several endovascular embolizations led to a complete angiographic occlusion of the shunt. Additionally, the diagnosis of Caroli disease was made at the age...

DNA sequence analysis of the same chromosomal region from two haplotypes of Mus musculus and from the related species M. caroli and M. pahari reveals the presence of long interspersed sequence one (LINES-1, or L1) elements residing at the same nucleotide position in the two most distantly related of the species (M. musculus and M. pahari). The DNA sequence of each of these L1 elements is more s...

Artificial insemination has been used to produce interspecific mouse hybrids. Mus musculus x Mus cervicolor cervicolor hybrids failed to complete more than a few cleavage divisions but both M. musculus x M. dunni and M. musculus x M. caroli hybrids completed preimplantation development. These hybrid embryos are heterozygous for various X-linked enzymes and may provide a useful genetic system fo...

Currently, 47 species of the genus Platypalpus are known from the Caucasus including fourteen species recorded herein for the first time: P. albicornis (Zetterstedt, 1842), P. baldensis (Strobl, 1899), P. caroli Grootaert, 1987, P. ciliaris (Fallén, 1816), P. clarandus (Collin, 1926), P. collini (Chvála, 1966), P. cothurnatus Macquart, 1827, P. infectus (Collin, 1926), P. longicornis (Meigen, 1...

background caroli disease is a rare inherited disorder characterized by dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts. the presented case is a female middle age patient that during clinical and para-clinical evaluation for an unrelated compliant found that has caroli disease. although, the disease is hereditary but the family history was negative. after three years follow up, no involvement of kidn...

A 300-bp DNA sequence has been determined for 30 (10 from each of three species of mice) random isolates of a subset of the long interspersed repeat family L1. From these data we conclude that members of the L1 family are evolving in concert at the DNA sequence level in Mus domesticus, Mus caroli, and Mus platythrix. The mechanism responsible for this phenomenon may be either duplicative transp...
