Résumé Affections gravissimes à pronostic très réservé particulièrement dans notre contexte de sous médicalisation et de pauvreté. Notre but en initiant ce travail est de déterminer les étiologies de ces urgences et discuter de leur prise en charge thérapeutique. Étude de type rétrospective et descriptive sur 05 ans, au total 52 dossiers cliniques ont été inclus. Ces infections ont représenté 0...

Nociceptin is an endogenous peptide that produces its biological effects by binding to the opioid receptor-like (ORL(1)) receptor. It has been shown that activation of ORL(1) receptor leads to inhibition of the adenylyl cyclase activity, but stimulation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase and p38 subgroups of mitogen-activated protein kinases. In this report, we demonstrate that activa...

A novel Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile and lactic-acid-producing bacterium, designated strain ORL-24(T), was isolated from the gut of the camel cricket, Diestrammena coreana. Optimal growth occurred at 37 °C, pH 8 and with 0 % (w/v) NaCl. The ratio of l-lactate to d-lactate in strain ORL-24(T) was 96 : 4. Lancefield antigen D was not detected. The strain was negative f...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Otorhinolaryngology (ORL) is considered a specialty associated with few serious patient injuries. Research data that support this belief are, however, scarce. We analyzed claims associated with ORL to determine the number of Finnish cases and the possible common denominators. STUDY DESIGN Register study of ORL cases in the Patient Insurance Centre (PIC), the Regional Sta...

BACKGROUND In the management of mallet deformities, oblique retinacular ligament (ORL) reconstruction provides a mechanism for automatic distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint extension upon active proximal interphalangeal joint extension. The two variants of ORL reconstruction utilize either the lateral band or a free tendon graft. This study aims to compare these two surgical techniques and to as...

BACKGROUND Ovarian steroids regulate sexual receptivity in the female rat by acting on neurons that converge on proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARH) that project to the medial preoptic nucleus (MPN). Estradiol rapidly activates these neurons to release β-endorphin that activates MPN μ-opioid receptors (MOP) to inhibit lordosis. Lordosis is facilita...

The cloning of the opioid-receptor-like 1 (ORL(1)) receptor and the identification of nociceptin as its endogenous agonist have revealed a new G-protein-coupled receptor signalling system. The structural and functional homology of ORL(1) to the opioid receptor systems has posed a number of challenges in understanding the often competing physiological responses elicited by these G-protein-couple...

ABSTRACT Introduction The otolaryngology (ORL) boot camp was designed to onboard ORL residents through a curriculum focusing on their needs as novice otolaryngologists. This provided systematic, specialty-wide training in core elements of knowledge, procedural skills, professionalism, supervision, and communications for entering ORL. present study aimed assess the effectiveness an resident indu...
