The cerebellum coordinates motor activities to be performed or that are already underway. In fact, it is very well known that cerebellar damage produces disturbance in movements and in body support. The relationship between cerebellum and motor learning was first suggested with the studies of Ramón y Cajal (1911), Dow and Moruzzi (1958), and Eccles et al. (1967). Dow and Moruzzi (1958) hypothes...

TOPIC: Cardiothoracic Surgery TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Spontaneous diaphragmatic herniation is a rare type of acquired hernia without any history trauma. (1) We describe case where non-traumatic liver through diaphragm was observed mimicking lower lobe lung mass. CASE PRESENTATION: A 54-year-old female prior thoraco-abdominal trauma seen in the clinic because gr...

McCONNEL, E. E., BASSON, P. A., DE VOS, V., MYERS, BETTY J. & KUNTZ, R. E., 1974. A survey of diseases among 100 free-ranging chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) from the Kruger National Park. Onderstepoort J. Vet. Res., 41 (3), 97-168 (1974). The pathological and parasitological findings from 100 free-ranging chacma baboons are described. One of the most striking discoveries was a heretofore unknow...

Intermediate filaments are cytoskeletal structures that maintain the structural and mechanical integrity of cells, tissues, and organs. These filaments are associated with the nuclear surface but extend out into the cytoplasm and interact with other cytoskeletal elements and cytoplasmic organelles. Eventually, their impingement on the plasma membrane in certain tissues allows them to be tethere...

Logic would suggest that women with low sexual desire do not acquire sexually transmitted infections. However, this may not be the case. Until recently, it has been considered that sexual activity in women is initiated by desire, which produces arousal. This leads to orgasm and resolution. 2 In practice, sexual desire and arousal are not isolated psychological and physiological states but inter...

The ontogeny and interrelationships of the epicardium surrounding the heart and the vascular beds and conduction pathways investing it remain fundamental mysteries of cardiovascular development. Although several molecules and discrete signaling events have been identified, we lack a detailed schematic of the relevant molecular genetic cascades. Genetic etiologies for congenital heart defects af...

Microvascular endothelial cells (MEC) use a set of surface receptors to adhere not only to the vascular basement membrane but, during angiogenic stimulation, to the interstitium. We examined how cultured human MEC interact with laminin-rich basement membranes. By using a panel of monoclonal antibodies, we found that MEC cells express a number of integrin-related receptor complexes, including cq...

This research aims to study contextual memory under different emotional stimuli. Participants were asked to watch films on mute. These films were pre-categorized as different emotions(happy, neutral, arousing, negative, and sexual). At the same time, they were presented with neutral words on an mp3 player auditorily. In the end, they were asked to recall as many words as possible. The words rec...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common inherited disorder with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 500 worldwide. The disease is inherited in families in an autosomal dominant fashion and is usually caused by mutations in genes encoding contractile proteins such as cardiac -myosin heavy chain (MYH7), cardiac troponin T (TNNT2), cardiac myosin binding protein-C (MYBPC3), cardiac troponin I, -...
