Phallus is known as stinkhorn mushroom. Previous reports have shown that this genus recognized by the size and color of basidioma, which a highly plastic morphological character can potentially lead to misidentification. In Indonesia, no study has combined molecular analyses identify Phallus. This aimed determine identity orange an indusium found in Bekasi, West Java, Indonesia. The characteris...

The fundus abnormalities of Leber's congenital amaurosis are extremely variable, from normal to salt-and-pepper changes to typical retinitis pigmentosa. A less commonly seen appearance is that of multiple, irregular shaped, yellowish white flecks deep in the midperipheral retina in a periarteriolar distribution. The nasal fundus as well as the posterior pole are spared. Such a case is presented...

Fluorescence confocal mosaicing microscopy of tissue biopsies stained with acridine orange has been shown to accurately identify tumors and with an overall sensitivity of 96.6% and specificity of 89.2%. However, fluorescence shows only nuclear detail similar to hematoxylin in histopathology and does not show collagen or cytoplasm, which may provide necessary negative contrast information simila...

Two oxytrichid ciliates collected from China, Oxytricha lithofera Foissner, 2016 and Rubrioxytricha haematoplasma (Blatterer 1990) Berger, 1999 were investigated based on living observations, protargol preparations, molecular analyses. The Chinese population of O. shares highly distinctive features with the type population, e.g., lithosomes, abutting macronuclear nodules, straight undulating me...

A gravel pit in south central Stearns County, Minnesota exposes sand and gravel of the Merden Lake esker which is thought to have been deposited by a subglacial stream associated with the Wisconsinan-aged Superior Lobe of the Laurentide ice sheet. An analysis of these sediments was conducted from samples collected through a vertical trench on an east-facing exposure of the gravel pit. A total o...
