Heat injuries sustained in a fire can initiate a cascade of complex mechanisms that affect the physiology of trees after fires. Uncovering the exact physiological mechanisms and relating specific injuries to whole-plant and ecosystem functioning is the focus of intense current research. Recent
An epizootic of fatal illness among infant common tree shrews (Tupaia glis) occurred in a research colony. Affected tree shrews were dehydrated, and ingested milk substitute remained in their stomachs for several hours without being digested. Twelve of 15 tree shrews born during a 3-month period
Many seasonally flooded habitats in the tropics are dominated by one or a few tree species. We tested the hypothesis that the inability to tolerate flooding restricts most species from becoming established in flood-prone habitats. We compared morphological and physiological responses to flooding in
A 20-year-old woman complained for several weeks before her death of unspecific epigastric pains. Such episodes were labeled as "dyspeptic episode." A month later, once again she started to complain about stomach pains, then she collapsed unconscious. She was rushed to a hospital, where she was
Classification and regression tree (CART) modelling was used to determine infectious hypodermal and haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) resistance and susceptibility in Penaeus stylirostris. In a previous study, eight random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers and viral load values using
Tree shrew, as a kind of small and inexpensive animal between insectivores and primates with the general anatomy being similar to human, could be considered as developed animal model for brain ischemia (BI) study. However, there is no neural behavior scores criterion from tree shrew Osteonecrosis is a common human disease in orthopedics. It is difficult to treat, and half of patients may need artificial joint replacement, resulting in a considerable economic burden and a reduction in quality of life. Hormones are one of the major causes of osteonecrosis and high doses of
Every plant species examined to date harbors endophytic fungi within its asymptomatic aerial tissues, such that endophytes represent a ubiquitous, yet cryptic, component of terrestrial plant communities. Fungal endophytes associated with leaves of woody angiosperms are especially diverse; yet,
OBJECTIVE
To determine trends in pancreaticobiliary stents over the past 12-18 months.
RESULTS
Metal biliary stents continue to be used for palliation of malignant distal biliary obstruction with superior patency to plastic stents. The use of covered metal biliary stents is increasingly being used
Species from the genus Phytophthora are well represented among organisms causing serious diseases on trees. Phytophthora plurivora has been implicated in long-term decline of woodland trees across Europe. Here we present a draft genome sequence of P. plurivora, originally isolated from diseased
An 18-year-old man developed skin lesions and anuria following exposure to sap of the marking-nut tree (Semecarpus anacardium). Renal biopsy showed diffuse cortical necrosis. The mechanism of nephrotoxicity of the sap is unknown but may be due to its phenolic constituents.
We present a case where spiral computed tomography (CT) with three dimensional reconstruction was able to generate cholangiographic images demonstrating biliary tree necrosis in a transplanted liver. Volumetric CT as a one step diagnostic solution to establish a diagnosis in patients after liver
Bark necrosis (BN), described and first studied in Côte d'Ivoire in the 1980s (2), affects most modern rubber plantations (i.e., grafted trees with high-yielding clones, intensive exploitation due to tapping frequency, and use of Ethrel as a yield stimulant) worldwide with a wide range of severity
Tupaia belangeri (tree shrew), an animal species whose genome has significantly higher similarity to primates than rodents, has been used in biomedical research. To generate animal models that reproduce the human tumors more faithfully than rodents, we present the first report of a cancer model
BACKGROUND
Aligning multiple proteins based on sequence information alone is challenging if sequence identity is low or there is a significant degree of structural divergence. We present a novel algorithm (SATCHMO) that is designed to address this challenge. SATCHMO simultaneously constructs a tree
