There are occasional reports of using the appendix to replace sections of the ureters, and to our knowledge, only a couple of them were in the left side. We used the appendix as a ureteral substitute in two cases in technically difficult parts, the upper left ureter and the first part of the right ureter. Follow-ups of8 years and 6 months in right and left side cases, respectively, are imp...

This paper presents a case series of furcation involved teeth complicated with endodontic involvement which were treated with periodontal, endodontic and restorative procedures using different bone regenerative materials like; (a) Calcium phosphosilicate bone substitute having bioactive glass 69% mixed with glycerin 19% and poly-ethylene 12% dispensed in a putty form; (b) hydroxyapatite 70% and...

Avian DNA polymerases use host tRNATrp as the primer for transcription. Bovine tRNATrp has been previously shown to be a biologic substitute for the avian primer. A bovine tRNATrp fragment has been identified as having a high binding affinity for the polymerase. The fragment is assigned to be 67 nucleotides, and contains most of the elements required to maintain the secondary and tertiary struc...

Introduction Obesity is the most common nutritional disorder in dogs and a main health and welfare concern worldwide; it links to a shortened lifespan and increased rate of secondary diseases. Surveillance of dog adiposity is a routine practice and is often estimated from body condition scoring (BCS). But BCS is subjective and fairly sensitive, reducing its utility during weight-loss plans. Sub...

The work treats 52 species-group names related to genus Agrilus incorrectly cited in the world catalogue of Bellamy (2008). The name dimorphus Théry, 1941 from the genus Aphanisticus and mulleri Théry, 1925 from the genus Australodraco are also treated. Four primary or secondary homonyms are replaced by substitute names. Most of the proposed changes refer to the availability, validity, spelling...

We use a new geometric construction, grope splitting, to give a sharp bound for separation of surfaces in 4{manifolds. We also describe applications of this technique in link-homotopy theory, and to the problem of locating 1{null surfaces in 4{manifolds. In our applications to link-homotopy, grope splitting serves as a geometric substitute for the Milnor group. AMS Classi cation numbers Primary...
