A new epoxy embedding mixture for biological material recently has been introduced by Freeman and Spurlock (1). This mixture consists of Mara-glas 655, Cardolite NC-513, dibutyl phthalate, and the curing agent benzyldimethylamine (BDMA). Maraglas has certain advantages over other resins and epoxies, notably, wide range of miscibility, low viscosity, ease of sectioning, good staining qualities, ...

Elevated homocysteine levels are a known risk factor for Alzheimer's disease and vascular disorders. Here we applied tensor-based morphometry to brain magnetic resonance imaging scans of 732 elderly individuals from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative study, to determine associations between homocysteine and brain atrophy. Those with higher homocysteine levels showed greater frontal...

Abstract Aim Recommendation 236 of the Francis Inquiry Report (2013) states that all inpatients should have a nominated clinician responsible for their overall admission, improving accountability, safety, and continuity care. This relies heavily on effective communication, which can be challenging amongst surgical patients due to illness severity urgent admission process. Quality Improvement Pr...

A group of 20 bacterial strains was isolated from the rhizosphere of different agricultural plants growing in alkaline soils in the northeast of Mexico. The phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence from four strains showed that this novel group belonged to the Cupriavidus genus, with C. taiwanensis (∼98.9%) and C. necator (∼98.8%) as the closest species. However, DNA-DNA reassociatio...
