BACKGROUND Intervertebral disc calcification is a rare condition in children; in most cases, it is asymptomatic and therefore not diagnosed. CASE REPORTS In our study, we present a case of idiopathic intervertebral disc calcification within the cervical segment, at the level of C2/C3 and C4/C5 vertebrae in a 5-year-old girl with torticollis. Basic neurological examination supplemented by X-ra...

We have made a sensitive search for the origin bands in the known electronic transitions of the linear carbon chains C4 and C5 at 3789 and 5109 Å towards ζ Oph (AV ≤1). The incentive was a recent detection of C3 in this interstellar cloud with a column density of 1.6×10 cm plus the availability of laboratory gas phase spectra of C4 and C5. Further, some models of diffuse interstellar clouds pre...

Due to its high greenhouse effect, the use of SF6 as main insulating gas is restricted in electric power field. Along with aim environmental protection, search for new alternative gases a lower effect and higher insulation strength has received lot attention. The properties have vital impact on performance medium-voltage distribution equipment. Firstly, based existing liquefaction temperatures ...

BACKGROUND Cervical C5 nerve root palsies may occur in between 0% and 30% of routine anterior or posterior cervical spine operations. They are largely attributed to traction injuries/increased cord migration following anterior/posterior decompressions. Of interest, almost all studies cite spontaneous resolution of these deficits without surgery with 3-24 postoperative months. METHODS Differen...

Complement, a complex protein system, plays an essential role in host defense through bacterial lysis, stimulation of phagocytosis, recruitment of immune cells to infected tissue, and promotion of the inflammatory response. Although complement is most well-characterized in serum, complement activity is also present in the lung. Here we further characterize the complement system in the normal an...

thirty nine novel 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidinone (thione)s were subjected to conformational studies. density functional theory at b3lyp/6-31 g* was performed as the computational method of high accuracy. important dihedral angles and bond lengths were investigated and the values obtained were explainable. results of this work confirm a twisted boat tetrahydropyrimidine ring conformation with an...
