CHEMICAL AND CYTOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF CEREBRAL SPINAL FLUID AFTER INTRATHECAL INJECTION OF HYPODENSE FLUORESCEIN

Chemical and cytological analysis of cerebral spinal fluid after intrathecal injection of hypodense fluorescein

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Intrathecal fluorescein has been effective for topographic diagnosis of rhinoliquorrhea.Nonetheless, there are no reports on the study of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) after use of intrathecal fluorescein.OBJECTIVE: A prospective study attempting to evaluate CSF through chemical and cytological analysis, after injection of fluo

Long-term effect of statins on the risk of new-onset osteoporosis: A nationwide population-based cohort study.

Several observational cohort and meta-analytical studies in humans have shown that statin users have a lower risk of fractures or greater bone mineral densities (BMD) than nonusers.However, some studies including randomized clinical trials have the opposite results, particularly in Asian populations.This study investigates the impacts of statins on

Analysis of a Discrete-Time Queueing Model with Disasters

Queueing models Banger with disasters can be used to evaluate the impact of a breakdown or a system reset in a service facility.In this paper, we consider a discrete-time single-server queueing system with general independent arrivals and general independent service times and we study the effect of the occurrence of disasters on the queueing behavi

Probing Conformational States of a Target Protein in Escherichia coli Cells by in vivo Cysteine Cross-linking Coupled with Proteolytic Gel Analysis

Transporters are dynamic membrane proteins that are essential to the physiology of cells.To function, transporters must cycle between various conformational states, so to understand their mechanistic details, it is critical to characterize how their structure changes during the transport cycle.One approach to studying the dynamics of transporters t
