AbstractPediatric mandibular tumors present an aggressive biological behavior and difficult diagnosis. A wide range of odontogenic and nonodontogenic tumors comprise the spectrum of these lesions. We report a case of a 1-year-old male child patient showing facial asymmetry symptomatic of an expansive lesion extending throughout the body and ramus of the left hemimandible with a diameter of 8 cm. The histopathological report suggested a high-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC), recommending further immunohistochemical investigation of the ectomesenchymal or neuroectodermal origin of the tumor cells. The patient evolved with extensive bilateral pleural effusion followed by metastasis in the middle third of the right humerus, and died 2 months after the first biopsy procedure by acute renal failure with tubular necrosis, before a final inconclusive immunohistochemical report was reached. The lack of resources for less-favored regions of Brazil impairs rapid biomolecular examinations such as immunohistochemical resulting in delay of appropriate therapeutic procedures.

A wide range of experimental pressure distributions along axisymmetric bodies was compared with the results of Landweber's potential flow calculation method. Apart from certain viscous effects, some discrepancies were found, and it is shown that blockage corrections are of the right order to account for these discrepancies. The calculation method was also used to show that the pressure distribution over the nose of the body is largely independent of the tail shape, and vice versa.

Ayurveda is a ‘science of life” which provides not only curative but also preventive principles for healthy and long life. Ayurveda is a lifestyle; a science and art of appropriate living that ensures health and longevity of human being. Abhyanga which is one among the Dincharya, is also a part of therapeutic procedures of Panchakarma therapy. As it nourishes the senses of mind and gives the strength, but if done in the region like localized in head, neck, legs etc then it is termed as  Shiroabhyanga, padaabhyanga etc. Full body massage gives strength to whole body but localized massage gives strength to that particular part of the body. Localized massage can be practiced by self. Thus it is easy to practice. But for abhyanga one need to be dependent in massage trainer. The instructions to be followed under localized massage also. It gives its benefits when it is done in the right manner only.

Background and Aim: Aeromonas hydrophila is a major cause of bacterial infections affecting a wide range of warm water fishes worldwide. In Malaysia, A. hydrophila isolations from diseased fishes were previously reported; however, with limited information. The present study investigates the antibiotic susceptibility and pathogenicity of A. hydrophila isolated from farmed red hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) in Malaysia. Materials and Methods: A. hydrophila was biochemically identified and subjected to antibiotic susceptibility tests. The isolate was then intraperitoneally injected into red hybrid tilapia, and the mortality, clinicopathological changes, and LD50 were determined up to 240 h post-infection (hpi). Results: The isolate demonstrated multiple antibiotic resistances (MAR) toward amikacin, ampicillin, cefotaxime, amoxicillin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, erythromycin, and streptomycin, with a MAR index of 0.5. The experimental infection of A. hydrophila at 105 CFU/mL in the red hybrid tilapia resulted in 100% mortality at 240 hpi. The LD50 was determined at 1.1×104 CFU/mL. Infected fish demonstrated occasional erratic swimming patterns, localized hemorrhages and depigmentation on the body and operculum areas, fin erosion, enlargement of the gall bladder, and hemorrhage in internal organs. Microscopic observation of infected fish revealed brain congestion, tubular necrosis, and glomerular shrinkage in the kidneys, necrosis of hepatocytes, and congestion of blood vessels in the liver. Conclusion: The high virulence of A. hydrophila to the red hybrid tilapia emphasizes the importance of active, on-going monitoring of its prevalence in Malaysian tilapia farming.

Summary This is the second of a three-part series that charts the history of minimal access surgery from antiquity to current times. Although rapid developments in laparoscopic and robotic surgery have transformed surgical care over the last 30 years, our predecessors made significant advances in their time which set the principles for modern practice. Part I of this series described how ancient medical practitioners developed simple instruments, from metal or wood, for viewing body cavities. Improvements in the use of metal, glass and lighting allowed for inspection of deeper parts of the body. This second part of the series will show how advances in electrical technology allowed the development of improved lighting for endoscopy and laparoscopy along with the use of electrocautery for a wide range of therapeutic procedures.

Eccrine sweat glands are widely distributed throughout the body and regulate body temperature in respond to cholinergic stimuli. Eccrine sweat gland carcinomas are rare and were first described by Cornil in 1865. Their incidence is 1% of all cutaneous malignancies, and the wide range of histological appearances and their similarity to metastatic carcinomas have generated uncertainties and controversies for many years regarding its diagnosis, biological behavior, and treatment. We present the case of a patient with eccrine duct carcinoma of the knee that recurred four years after her first excision. Key words: case report, eccrine sweat glands, eccrine duct carcinoma, cutaneous malignancies

Local governments may establish legal relationships governed by civil law in numerous ways, for example, through the creation of associations, various institutional agreements or they can also do so by means of enacting regulations. In line with the stipulations of the Fundamental Law of Hungary, local governments may adopt regulations on two legal bases: if authorized by law or if they want to regulate a local public affair; however, the regulation may not contradict any higher form of legislation. While in the first case it is not only the right but also the obligation of local governments to enact regulations that can even be sanctioned, in the second case it is almost completely optional. The scope of public affairs regulated by local governments is rather broad. While the smaller local governments typically limit their activities to the regulation of the most urgent matters, the larger local governments enact regulations in a wide range of issues also due to the volume of their responsibilities. In many instances a part of these regulations does not remain within the framework of supremacy but also includes numerous elements of civil law. These could include matters related to parking or municipal housing, as well as problems in connection with public services. Norms regulating peaceful public coexistence represent a separate subject area as in many cases they wish to regulate legal relationships pertaining to privacy. In the case of the latter issue, the clause stating that the local regulations shall not contradict any higher form of law is especially central, as it necessitates the extensive knowledge of civil and in some cases even constitutional law to ensure that such a regulation is enacted that fully complies with the laws. This paper introduces and examines those local government regulations that include elements of civil law also and which typically cause problems, with special emphasis on the rules of peaceful public coexistence. Some of these problems are revealed within the scope of legal supervision practiced over local governments, while in other cases the body reviewing the regulation acts in response to citizens’ initiatives.

Behavior is lateralized when it is performed preferentially by one side of the body, and this phenomenon is seen across a wide range of vertebrate taxa. Furthermore the brain and body are contralateral in many animals, meaning that the left brain hemisphere most dominantly controls the right side of the body and vice versa. Lateralized behavior in humans and nonhuman primates reveals a population right-hand bias. Recent studies in primates have also begun to link differences in lateralized behavior to task complexity, and responses to novel versus familiar stimuli. Parallel research on cetaceans is sparse although evidence accrued over the last decade suggests captive dolphins have a preference for swimming counter-clockwise, a right-eye advantage in spatio-cognitive tasks and a right-eye preference for viewing novel objects, although this is the reverse of the general vertebrate pattern. Lateralized behavior was examined in a group of six male bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in response to a novel underwater maze, and compared to behavior during a baseline condition (no maze present). Dolphins were significantly more likely to swim counter-clockwise round their pool during both the baseline and maze condition, interpreted as a right eye bias. Swimming rotation was also weaker in dolphins during the maze condition, suggesting that the maze may have disrupted routine circular swimming behavior. There was no clear preference for using the left or right side of the maze, except in two high- using subjects with a strong right preference. Modifications and extensions to the methods are discussed.

1. During imposed tilt the eyecup or the crab tends to preserve an absolute position which depends upon the tonic activity of eight of the nine eyecup muscles. The detailed activity of all these muscles during imposed tilt in different planes has been recorded intracellularly. 2. The slow- and fast-motoneurone discharges to the eyecup muscles differ in that the former have intervals which are more variable at lower frequencies but the latter are more variable at higher frequencies. 3. The standard deviation of the interval between impulses is 20-30% of the mean interval for a wide range of frequencies of the tonic motoneurones. This large scatter is tolerable because the slow muscle fibres are sluggish and because the eyecup is also visually stabilized by a system of long time-constant. 4. In roll the two eyecups move in opposite directions relative to the midline of the animal. In pitch the two eyecups move in the same direction relative to the body of the animal, but in neither case is there a correlation between individual impulses to the muscles of the right and left eyecups which are active at the same time. 5. Possible mechanisms of linkage between the two eyecups are discussed.

The statutes analyzed the legal representation of the representative of the prosecutor of the interests of the state in the state court proceedings. Respect is accentuated on the fact that the legal representatives of such a representative have a lot of special features, which are enriched by the legal status of the prosecutor’s office in the whole role of the state legal representatives. Voted on the fact that the largest number of discussions is possible in science plots, as well as in the right to practice, the designation of such a warehouse representative and the prosecutor in the court of lawful interests and the possibility of violation of the law. It has been established that, having understood the “Interest Power”, it has a wide range and an estimated character, which is a legacy of an ambiguous legal representation and a representative of the Prosecutor of the Interest State in the state court proceedings. The gown about the primedness of the inclusion of such a representative for the representative of the prosecutor of the Interests State in the State Judicial Commission was destroyed, as well as the threat of the collapse of the Interests State Vіdznacheno scho at vipadku nenalezhnogo zdіysnennya Zahist Reigning іnteresіv State body Vlady, Chi body mіstsevogo samovryaduvannya іnshim sub’єktom vladnih povnovazhen to kompetentsії yakogo vіdnesenі vіdpovіdnі povnovazhennya vimagaє z’yasuvannya supply about kvalіfіkatsіynu vіdpovіdnіst kadrіv such organіv State Vladi abo mіstsevogo samovryaduvannya.

Vitamin K4 was labelled with 99mTc with an efficiency higher than 97%. The compound was stable up to 24 h at room temperature, and its biodistribution in NMRI mice indicated its in vivo stability. Blood radioactivity levels were high over a wide range. 10% of the injected activity remained in blood after 24 h. Excretion was mostly via kidneys. Only the liver and kidneys concentrated appreciable amounts of radioactivity. Testis/soft tissue ratios were 1.4 and 1.57 at 6 and 24 h, respectively. Testis/blood ratios were lower than 1. In vitro studies with mouse blood indicated that 33.9 ±9.6% of the radioactivity was associated with RBCs; it was washed out almost completely with saline. Protein binding was 28.7 ±6.3% as determined by TCA precipitation. Blood clearance of 99mTc-l<4 in normal subjects showed a slow decrease of radioactivity, reaching a plateau after 16 h at 20% of the injected activity. In scintigraphic images in men the testes could be well visualized. The right/left testis ratio was 1.08 ±0.13. Testis/soft tissue and testis/blood activity ratios were highest at 3 h. These ratios were higher than those obtained with pertechnetate at 20 min post injection.99mTc-l<4 appears to be a promising radiopharmaceutical for the scintigraphic visualization of testes.
