Previous studies have established that deactivation of the superior colliculus severely retards the normally rapid learning of pattern discriminations in the mature cat. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that the midbrain plays an important role in the learning of simple pattern discriminations and that the contribution of this pathway is to the perception of global, rather t...

Case 1 An elderly patient presented with insidious onset of sensorineural hearing loss. The past history was unremarkable except for insidious onset of weakness of left lower limb. Physical examination revealed left hemiparesis with upgoing left plantar. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain revealed a large flow void in the interpeduncular cistern suggestive of aneurysm arising from the to...

Dynamic psychology is based on a concept of mind that is opposed to mechanism and the cause/effect relationship; indeed, it is essentially phenomenological and is founded on a system of principles articulated according to the mind/body itinerary. As such, dynamic psychology is based on the dynamics of the unconscious, the principle of field in terms of conflict and communication, the superficia...

Transposable elements (TEs) are selfish genetic elements that mobilize in genomes via transposition or retrotransposition and often make up large fractions of vertebrate genomes. Here, we review the current understanding of vertebrate TE diversity and evolution in the context of recent advances in genome sequencing and assembly techniques. TEs make up 4-60% of assembled vertebrate genomes, and ...

Objectives: To investigate the clinical efficacy of physiotherapy with and without superficial dry needling on patients with knee pain; patellofemoral pain syndrome. Methods: A randomized clinical trial conducted in 2015, Tehran, Iran. Of patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome, thirty-four subjects were randomly divided into two groups (17 in each group). Group A was subject...

skin fungal infections are common global problems with attendant morbidity amongaffected individuals. children are mostly affected because of predisposing factors such aspoverty, overcrowding, and lack of guidance. investigation on the prevalence ofsuperficial fungal infections among primary school pupils was carried out in awka southlocal government area of anambra state, nigeria. six public p...

fibrolipomatous hamartoma of nerve (neural fibrolipoma) is a tumor-like lipomatous process principally involving young persons. the median nerve is most commonly affected. the lesion is characterized by a soft slowly growing mass surrounding and infiltrating major nerves and their branches. it may cause symptoms of compression neuropathy and is associated with macrodactyly in one third of cases...

Each time diffusion of elements is invoked in explaining abundance anomalies in a star, this supposes implicitly that a stratification process is in progress somewhere in that star. This means also, that the element abundances can still be evolving according to the star’s age and fundamental parameters. Moreover, it has been shown that the superficial abundances may have complex temporal behavi...
