We report here on the exuberant glial reaction in the optic nerves affected by prion diseases. Optic nerves from CJD- and GSS-, and scrapie-infected mice and hamsters showed severe pathology. These lesions were qualitatively indistinguishable from each other but were more intense in the Fujisaki model than in the hamsters inoculated with Echigo-1. Exuberant cellular reaction comprised of macrop...

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) can be difficult to diagnose because of its wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. Its diagnosis may be further complicated when patients initially present with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We report on four patients with SAH revealing a CVT and discuss the role of imaging for diagnostic and pretherapeutic workup. In three women and one man presenting...

A previous study has shown a high incidence of abnormal auditory brainstem responses in alcoholics, particularly when cerebral and/or cerebellar atrophy was present in CT scans. To correlate the electrophysiological findings with definable morphological alterations, quantitative measurements of the brainstem structures in CT scans were made. To determine the relative size of the brainstem, the ...

are fitted overhead in the various departments. The number and size of the sprinkler tanks vary according to the requirements of each mill, hut 011 an average each tank is from 30 feet to 60 feet either way, and carries permanently about 6 feet of water. The water is mostly a clean supply derived from the municipal mains, though an emergency connection with the millpond by means of a pump is al...

By means of thin (< or =150 nm) and thick (>150 nm) sections, the shape and position of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and of the Golgi apparatus in the sole plate and in the remaining subsarcolemmal sarcoplasmic region were investigated. For this purpose the membranes were stained by means of imidazole-osmium postfixation and unstained sections analyzed under the electron microscope. Both in the s...

This study aimed to determine the water demand of a Municipal Market building propose use efficiency measures. The flushing cisterns have highest consumption (63.15%), followed by washbasins, restaurant and coffee shop taps, hairdresser’s showerhead (31.64%). Therefore, implementation two main categories solutions: reducing through adoption efficient devices installing rainwater harvesting syst...
