The mouse cochlea emerges from the ventral pole of otocyst to form a one and three-quarter coil. Little is known about factors that control growth cochlea.

Here, we identify vertebrate homolog <i>Drosophila Sobp</i> (sine oculis-binding protein) gene (named <i>Jxc1</i>) in <i>jc</i> locus. <i>Jxc1</i> encodes nuclear protein has two FCS-type zinc finger domains (PS51024)...
Tomographic study of laryngeal paralysis has received little mention in the literature. Many articles have been written describing tomographic exploration physiology larynx during phonation (1–4, 6, 8, 9–13), but only Canuyt, Gunsett and Greiner (5) dealt with appearance paralyzed larynx. While it is true that vocal cords can be diagnosed easily by mirror examination, its description interest for several reasons. In first place, there are many patients on whom indirect laryngoscopy...
The tolerance of tissues to radiation is an inverse function the volume irradiated. Portals should be no larger than necessary cover tumor-bearing areas. widespread practice using four or even six 15 × l0-cm. portals in external irradiation carcinoma cervix with medium voltage (200 400 kv) irradiates a large tissue unnecessarily. Delivering high doses such areas increases incidence severe complications, and eventually lowers cure rate (2,7,12). availability multimillion-volt therapy renders...
Abstract Reproduction in all mammalian species depends on the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles, that is, folliculogenesis. Follicular development can culminate with rupture mature follicles consequent expulsion their oocytes (ovulation) or atresia, characterized by arrest eventual degeneration. These processes are regulated different neuroendocrine signals arising at hypothalamic nuclei, including suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). In later, activation muscarinic receptors (mAChRs)...
Ventricular diverticula are a rare congenital cardiac disorder presenting with an extremely low incidence. The presence of apical diverticulum the right ventricle has been associated other heart diseases such as tetralogy Fallot. An important defining characteristic ventricular that separates them from aneurysms through imaging techniques, is they possess myocardial contraction synchronous to adjacent walls, contributing stroke volume, so do not usually require surgical treatment.

A 25-year-old man with dilated cardiomyopathy and epilepsy presented to the emergency department because of sudden onset slurred speech weakness right-sided extremities. He had been diagnosed 5 months prior this incident, when he signs symptoms congestive heart failure a two-dimensional echocardiogram demonstrated global hypokinesia, severe mitral regurgitation, an estimated ejection fraction 20%. One month admission, apical thrombus, patient was started on warfarin. Initial examination...
P637 Background: Heart transplantation is the best therapeutic option for patients with End Stage Failure refractory to medical therapy. The Cardiovascular Center of Puerto Rico and Caribbean was certified as a transplant center by UNOS in November 1998. first heart performed June 1999. Methods: Between 1999 March 2004, 54 have been performed. demographic these patients, pre-transplant clinical characteristics, post- outcomes were reviewed. Results: There 39 (72%) male 15 (28%) female...
<h3></h3> Coarctation of aorta is strongly asssociated with bicuspid aortic valves. This a risk factor for infective endocarditis.
