A minimum in cloud coverage occurring between 800 and 600 mb can be inferred from soundings taken within the tropical western Pacific warm pool. Surface observations of clouds and satellite-derived outgoing longwave radiation values suggest that the cloud minimum in the 600–800-mb layer occurs in all weather conditions. One explanation for the enhanced occurrence of clouds above (in the 400–600...

Abstract Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant brain tumor affecting children. Among known subtypes of MB, GLI2-amplified SHH-MB associated with P53 mutations has worst prognosis, and a 5-year survival rate less than 30%. Moreover, MBs are non-responsive to SMO inhibitors, only targeted treatment option available for SHH-MB. To address this gap, there an urgent need identify novel p...

A bi-photosensitizer molecular beacon (bi-PS MB) is assembled by coupling two PS molecules, respectively, onto the opposite ends of a single MB. The MB can be triggered by a tumor marker-survivin mRNA. Fluorescence and cytotoxic (1)O(2) generation occur effectively in breast cancer cells, but not in normal cells. Compared with a single-PS MB, a bi-PS MB exhibits much-enhanced properties in the ...

Cerebellopontine angle (CPA) medulloblastomas (MB) are rare lesions with few cases previously described in the literature. We report one more case of CPA MB. The patient was a (36)-year-old female mass developing CPA. preoperative radiological diagnosis (hemangioblastoma) case. operated Tripoli university hospital September 2020 neurosurgical department. Operated through (retrosigmoid) approach...

There are no conflicts to disclose. Total number of figures: 6 main, 2 supplemental and 1 table Netrin-1 induces medulloblastoma invasion and angiogenesis 3 ABSTRACT Invasion and dissemination of medulloblastoma (MB) within the central nervous system is the principal factor predicting MB treatment failure and death. Netrin-1 is an axon guidance factor implicated in tumor and vascular biology, i...

Certain types ofmacro-CK, type 1, have been reported to cause false increases in CK-MB by co-migration on electrophoresis (1-3). I report two such cases in which the macroCK was an IgA with anti-CK-BB specificity. According to methods proposed by Medeiros et al. (1), immunoprecipitation and subsequent analysis by elecrophoresis was used to separate interfering macre-CK from CK-MB. CK electropho...
