PHOTOGRAPHY WITH INFRA-RED FILM Dekking (1933, 1934) published several photographs of eyes with dense corneal opacities using infra-red film and radiation of a wave-length of about 10,000 A.u. His photographs strikingly demonstrated how infra-red radiation could penetrate a dense corneal opacity, and clearly record the appearance of the iris and pupil, which were invisible by ordinary methods o...

Resting or baseline state low frequency (0.01-0.2 Hz) brain activity has been observed in fMRI, EEG and LFP recordings. These fluctuations were found to be correlated across brain regions, and are thought to reflect neuronal activity fluctuations between functionally connected areas of the brain. However, the origin of these infra-slow fluctuations remains unknown. Here, using a detailed comput...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to determine the localisation of the infraorbital foramen in relation to chosen anthropometric landmarks as novel reference points: nasion, rhinion, and frontomalare orbitale, and to verify their symmetry. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty-four sides of thirty-two human skulls were investigated. The distances between the infraorbital foramina and nasion, rhinion, ...

Multiplicity of oscillatory phenomena in a range of infra-slow frequencies (<0.01 Hz) has been described in mammalian brains at different levels of organisation. The significance and manifestation in physiology and/or behaviour of many brain infra-slow oscillations (ISO) remain unknown. Examples of this phenomenon are two types of ISO observed in the brains of urethane-anaesthetised rats: infra...

BACKGROUND Vascular calcification is a common finding in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) however whether it predicts aneurysm expansion is controversial. OBJECTIVES 1) To establish a reproducible method of assessing AAA calcification using computed tomography (CT); 2) To investigate the association between AAA calcification and growth. METHOD Patients were identified from a prospectively m...

three different aspergillus niger mtcc strains (872, 1785 and 2208) were used for the production of chitosan. multivariate growth mediums in varying incubation periods were analyzed for the production. the produced chitosan was characterized by its physical appearance, moisture content (by means of gravimetric method), percentage of ash and solubility (through the association of official agricu...

the synthesis, characterization and application of biologically synthesized nanomaterials are an important aspect in nanotechnology. the present study deals with the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (ag-nps) using the aqueous extract of red seaweed gelidiella acerosa as the reducing agent to study the antifungal activity. the formation of ag-nps was confirmed by uv-visible spectroscopy, x-ray ...

This is our initial report on the first 4 cases of infra-renal abdominal aortic aneurysms undergoing Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) with local anaesthesia, controlled sedation and monitoring by an anaesthetist. All 4 patients were males with a mean age of 66.7 years. Only one (1) required ICU stay of 2 days for cardiac monitoring due to bradycardia and transient hypotension post procedure....
