Rest (RE1-silencing transcription factor, also called Nrsf) is involved in the maintenance of the undifferentiated state of neuronal stem/progenitor cells by preventing precocious expression of neuronal genes. In order to further investigate the function of Rest in neurons, we generated and examined mice evoking genetic ablation of Rest…[Read more]

Complete stone clearance was seen in 94.8% of patients using air to only 75% of patients using contrast. Conclusion Air pyelogram is a feasible, safe, cost effective and efficient access alternative to contrast pyelogram and in difficult situation a mixture of both is better than using one.

There are notable geographic variations in incidence…[Read more]

Porosity in titanium alloy materials improves the bony integration and mechanical properties of implants. In certain areas of application such as vertebral spacers or trabecular bone replacement (e.g. wedge augmentation in prosthetics), surface structures are desirable that promote bone integration and have biomechanical properties that are…[Read more]
