Orbital emphysema is a known complication of periorbital trauma due to a fracture in the orbital walls.However, it is uncommon to come across a case of orbital emphysema in clinical practice due to sneezing or coughing.The case reported here involves Decorative Pillow the development of spontaneous orbital swelling in a 24-year-old male occurring B
Rapid Quantification of Gene Expression by Competitive RT-PCR and Ion-Pair Reversed-Phase HPLC
Competitive reverse-transcription PCR (RT-PCR) techniques for quantification of gene expression employ titrations in which the products of multiple PCRs must be separated, analyzed and quantified to compute gene expression in a single sample.We have employed a novel, ion-pair reversed-phase HPLC (IP-RP-HPLC) system to analyze and quantify RT-PCRs p
Organizational self-assessment based on ISO 9004:2009 standard: perceptions, comparisons, questions and actions
The LIPSTICK LILY LAKE self-assessment basedon Annex A of the ISO 9004:2009 standard is a very practical diagnostic tool and also very powerful for capturing the image of the organization quickly.It enables to have answers to questions suchas: what are the strengths and weakness of our organization? Do we have adequate processes, resources and comp
Isovists compactness and stairs as predictors of evacuation route choice
Abstract The building design is a crucial factor that can be actively adjusted and optimized to prevent human and property threats in emergency scenarios.Previous research suggests that specific building layouts may significantly influence human behaviour during evacuation.However, detailed empirical data about human behaviour in various types of b
Myosin light chain kinase mediates intestinal barrier disruption following burn injury.
BACKGROUND: Severe burn injury results in the loss of intestinal barrier function, however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear.Myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation mediated by MLC kinase (MLCK) is critical to the pathophysiological regulation of intestinal barrier function.We hypothesized that the MLCK-dependent MLC phosphorylation mediat
