Increased femoral anteversion (FA) has been recently demonstrated as one risk factor for recurrent patellar dislocation (RPD).However, it has been still unclear whether the increase of FA can result in patellar dislocation, and subsequent morphological and trabecular microarchitectural changes in the trochlea has not been investigated.Forty Autogra

Introduction: Colloid cysts of the third ventricle are benign brain lesions that may obstruct cerebrospinal fluid flow within the ventricular system and cause Compressors symptoms like headaches, deterioration of vision, and acute hydrocephalus.Research question: What is the clinical outcome of surgical treatment of third ventricle colloid cysts, a

Quorum sensing (QS) is a mechanism allowing microorganisms to sense population density and synchronously control genes expression.It has been shown that QS supervises the activity of many processes important for microbial pathogenicity, e.g., sporulation, biofilm formation, and secretion of enzymes or membrane vesicles.This contributed to the conce

OBJECTIVE: Duffle Bags To establish the accuracy of unenhanced CT in the preoperative diagnosis of acute appendicitis.DESIGN: Accuracy study, prospective and blinded.SETTING: The University Hospital.PARTICIPANTS: 52 patients with clinical and laboratorial manifestations of acute appendicitis.CT diagnosis was made by: presence of an abnormal appendi

Abstract Background Successful reprogramming of a somatic genome to produce a healthy clone by somatic cells nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a rare event and the mechanisms involved in this process are poorly defined.When serial or successive rounds Compressors of cloning are performed, blastocyst and full term development rates decline even further wit
