Abstract
We analyzed SLNB of 149 patients treated for cutaneous tumors at the Department of Dermatology, University of Tuebingen, Germany. By mapping SLN (sentinel lymph node) locations to their specific tumor sites on the head and neck, we were able to calculate the frequency of SLN distribution to defined...

Abstract
We report a 75-year-old male patient with parkinsonism and head drop caused by isolated myasthenic weakness of the neck extensor muscles. Our case is the second report of isolated head drop as a presenting symptom of myasthenia gravis in a patient with parkinsonism....

Abstract
We report two patients who were treated acutely for this condition. Both presented with weakness in the upper limbs and paraspinal cervical musculature after a fracture of C2. Despite improvement in the strength of the upper limbs, the paraspinal muscle weakness persisted in both patients. One ultim...

Abstract
South Africa is home to 9 vulture species, of which 7 are endangered. While the cause of the population declines remains largely speculative, a vast amount of effort has been dedicated towards the protection of populations by ensuring sustainable and safe food sources for the various colonies. Limite...

Abstract
We have generated a zebrafish line carrying a stop mutation in the kinase domain of the Tie-2 receptor. Mutant embryos lack Tie-2 protein, but do not display any defect in heart and vessel development. Simultaneous loss of Tie-1 and Tie-2, however, leads to a cardiac phenotype. Our study shows that...

Abstract
Under physiological conditions, neuronal activity is tightly coupled to hemodynamics of the surrounding microvessels. Conversely, most brain diseases are associated with a disturbance in neurovascular coupling. Measuring the hemodynamic response of the microvascular network to neuronal stimulation i...

Abstract
We detected several long chain aliphatic alcohols ranging from C18-C32 in honey bees and the level of these alcohols varied in each body segment. C18:0Alc and C20:0Alc are more pronounced in the head, whereas C22:0Alc to C32Alc are abundant in the abdomen. One of the cDNAs coding for a fatty acyl-Co...

We introduce the concept of the 'range probe'. This is a low-dose, high-energy proton pencil beam that would pass through a patient, and whose integral Bragg peak would be measured on the exit side using a multi-layer detector. We propose that by comparing the measured integral Bragg peak with that...
