Weather patterns in northern European regions have changed noticeably over the past several decades, featuring warmer, wetter weather with more extreme events.The climate is projected to continue on this trajectory for the foreseeable future, even under the most modest warming scenarios.Such changes will have a significant impact on livestock farmi
Simplified video-assisted one-trocar diverting colostomy in pediatric patients
Background: In pediatric age colostomy is mainly temporary and totally diverting, the major Adapters indication being neonatal anorectal malformation for which a specific double separated stoma route has been widely popularized.Out of newborn age the reasons for colon diversion in children are less common and the procedures are quite similar to the
Acute pseudogout of the foot following Parathyroidectomy: a case report
Abstract Background The current case report is the first in the literature to report the association between parathyroidectomy and an episode of probable pseudogout in the foot in a patient Adapters with diabetes mellitus.Case presentation The authors present a case of pseudogout of the left foot following a subtotal parathyroidectomy in an 80-year
Natural variation of the amino-terminal glutamine-rich domain in Drosophila argonaute2 is not associated with developmental defects.
The Drosophila argonaute2 (ago2) gene plays a major role in siRNA mediated RNA silencing pathways.Unlike mammalian Argonaute proteins, the Drosophila protein has an unusual amino-terminal domain made up largely of multiple copies of glutamine-rich repeats (GRRs).We report here that the ago2 locus produces an alternative transcript that encodes a pu
Kinetic Theory of a Confined Quasi-Two-Dimensional Gas of Hard Spheres
The dynamics of a Coffee Tables system of hard spheres enclosed between two parallel plates separated a distance smaller than two particle diameters is described at the level of kinetic theory.The interest focuses on the behavior of the quasi-two-dimensional fluid seen when looking at the system from above or below.In the first part, a collisional
