 | Interaction of erythrocyte membranes with particulates. |  Bottom Line: Chrysotile fibers promoted the fusion of human erythrocyte membranes and the hemolysis and fusion of fowl erythrocytes.Amosite and glass fibers did not show the same effect.These findings provide a model for the internalization of the fibers by animal cells. | Ottolenghi AC, Joseph LB, Newman HA, Stephens RE - Environ.

 | Endovascular management of the patent inferior mesenteric artery in two cases of uncontrolled type II... | Figure 3: Cannulation of the marginal artery of drummond with a hydrophilic guidewire towards the origin of the IMA.Bottom Line: However, endoleaks specifically type II can be a significant problem with this technique leading to aortic sac expansion and potential rupture.Computed tomography angiography at 1 and 6 months postoperatively demonstrated small type II endoleaks in both cases... | Sucandy I, Kim H, Sullivan TR - N Am J Med Sci (2011) |

 | Extrusion of Endodontic Filling Materials: Medico-Legal Aspects. Two Cases. | Figure 5: Case 2. Radiological exam after the orthograde retreatment of 1.2 with warm vertical condensation technique and apical extrusion of sealer (first dentist).Bottom Line: In the second case however, because two different dentists were involved, establishing the connection of causality between their work and the damage reported by the patient was not easy.This situation makes it difficult to establish the limits of potential... | Santoro V, Lozito P, Donno AD, Grassi FR, et al. - Open Dent J (2009) |

 | Identification of a contemporary human parechovirus type 1 by VIDISCA and characterisation of its full... | Figure 1: Original agarose gel photograph obtained from second amplification step of VIDISCA. Numbering of the 16 second-stage PCR products is shown above the first and last three lanes. The product in lane 4 was sequenced and showed a parechovirus as described in the...Bottom Line: In this study we used VIDISCA, a virus identification method which has not yet been widely applied, on such an untyped virus isolate.We found a human parechovirus (HPeV) type 1 (strain designation: BNI-788st).We found that the novel strain was likely the result... | de Souza Luna LK, Baumgarte S, Grywna K, Panning M, et al. - Virol.

 | Aneurysm of the Superior Posterior Pancreatic-Duodenal Artery Presenting with Recurrent Syncopes. | Figure 2: Selective angiography of the superior mesenteric artery. Approximately 5 cm from the major branch a small bleeding infarction is visible. Also, a large connection between the superior mesenteric artery and the celiac trunk via the gastroduodenal artery is present....Bottom Line: We present a 61-year-old woman with hypovolemic shock due to a ruptured aneurysm of the superior posterior pancreatic-duodenal artery in whom recurrent syncopes were the first presenting sign of pancreatic-duodenal artery aneurysm (PDAA).PDAA is a rare but... | van Doesburg IA, Boerma D, van Leersum M, et al. - Case Rep Gastroenterol (2009) |

 | Chronic myeloid leukemia in an adult ghanaian with sporadic neurofibromatosis 1. | Figure 3: Bone marrow aspirate cytology showing spectrum of myeloid maturationBottom Line: Several types of hematologic malignancies have been described in them.We present an adult Ghanaian with NF1, who subsequently developed CML.Relevance of the case report is discussed. | Olayemi EE, Benneh AA, Acquah ME, Mensah PK - Indian J Dermatol (2011) |

![Axial CT of the hips in female control. Relatively large FLD (5.5Â mm), but no protrusio acetabuli. Lines drawn according to method by Chen et al [1]](/imgs/rescaled137/3101339_330_2011_2073_Fig5_HTML.png) | CT of the hips in the investigation of protrusio acetabuli in Marfan syndrome. A case control study. | Fig5: Axial CT of the hips in female control. Relatively large FLD (5.5 mm), but no protrusio acetabuli. Lines drawn according to method by Chen et al [1]Bottom Line: A slight but significant gender difference was found in Ghent positive persons only.The alternative method did not differentiate between the groups with respect to PA, but showed a significant difference between genders.PA was found significantly more often... | Lundby R, Kirkhus E, Rand-Hendriksen S, Hald J, et al. - Eur Radiol (2011) |

 | Laparoscopic excision of an omental leiomyoma with a giant cystic component. | Figure 2: Mass arising from the greater omentum showing the solid (S) and collapsed cystic (C) components.Bottom Line: The entire tumor was successfully excised laparoscopically.Treatment by a minimal access approach allowed the patient to recover rapidly with a short convalescence.Our case confirms the feasibility and safety of a minimal access surgical approach to a rare... | Bhandarkar D, Ghuge A, Kadakia G, Shah R - JSLS (2011 Jul-Sep) |

 | Anatomic variation in intrahepatic bile ducts: an analysis of intraoperative cholangiograms in 300 consecutive... | Figure 3: Triple confluence (type 2). Operative cholangiogram demonstrates simultaneous emptying of the RASD (small arrows), RPSD (large arrows) and LHD (asterisks) into the CHD.Bottom Line: To describe the anatomical variation occurring in intrahepatic bile ducts (IHDs) in terms of their branching patterns, and to determine the frequency of each variation.The study group consisted of 300 consecutive donors for liver transplantation who underwent... | Choi JW, Kim TK, Kim KW, Kim AY, Kim PN, Ha HK, et al. - Korean J Radiol (2003 Apr-Jun) |

 | Enzyme studies on tumour cell suspensions. |  Bottom Line: Activities of glucose-6-phosphatase, fructose 1,6-diphosphatase, ornithine transcarbamylase, arginase and xanthine oxidase were measured in thioacetamide induced primary hepatoma and its tumour cell suspension.It was observed that the percentage decrease in... | Bhide SV - Br.

 | Restitution at the cellular level: regulation of the migrating phenotype. |  Bottom Line: This resembles in vivo models of mucosal healing in its sheet migration and loss of the brush border enzymes, which are conventional markers for intestinal epithelial differentiation.Immunohistochemical studies of migrating Caco-2 cells suggest, however, that... | Basson MD, Rashid Z, Turowski GA, West AB, et al. - Yale J Biol Med (1996 Mar-Apr) |

 | Vascularity and perfusion of human gliomas xenografted in the athymic nude mouse. |  Bottom Line: Despite large variation, the perfused vascular area as a proportion of the tumour cross-sectional area exhibited clear tumour line-specific tendencies.These observations suggest that consistent differences in vascular parameters are present between glioma xenograft... | Bernsen HJ, Rijken PF, Oostendorp T, van der Kogel AJ - Br.

 | Reactive oxygen species: their relation to pneumoconiosis and carcinogenesis. |  Bottom Line: ROS-induced primary stimuli result in the increased secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and other mediators, promoting events that appear to be important in the progression of cell injury and pulmonary disease.We have provided evidence supporting the hypothesis... | Vallyathan V, Shi X, Castranova V - Environ.
