Tuberculosis (TB) is among the most difficult infections Crank Arm Set to treat, requiring several months of multidrug therapy to produce a durable cure.The reasons necessitating long treatment times are complex and multifactorial.However, one major difficulty of treating TB is the resistance of the infecting bacterium, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (
In Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster, removing the germline precursor cells increases lifespan.In worms, and possibly also in flies, this lifespan extension requires the presence of somatic reproductive tissues.How the somatic gonad signals other tissues to increase lifespan is not known.The lifespan increase triggered by loss of t
Abstract Background The application of biotechnologies which make use of genetic markers in chicken breeding is developing rapidly.Diversity Array Technology (DArT) is one of the current Genotyping-By-Sequencing techniques allowing the discovery of whole genome sequencing.In livestock, DArT has been applied in cattle, sheep, and horses.Currently, t
Intracranial fungal granulomas can be misdiagnosed clinically and radiologically as neoplastic lesions.They also rarely occur without any history of immunodeficiency or diabetes.We report two such cases of fungal granulomas that were unsuspected clinically and radiologically but were detected on intraoperative squash cytology (SC) and later confirm
