Four methods of regional anaesthesia for trans-urethral prostatectomy were compared in 350 patients. Complete analgesia was produced in all cases where the level of the block reached the third lumbar segment. Caudal analgesia was unreliable because of the low levels achieved. It is likely that the “capsular sign “is lost if the level reaches the tenth thoracic segment. Anatomical explanations are considered.

ABSTRACT The steroid excretion and the plasma corticosteroids were investigated in three patients with necrosis of the brain and of the pituitary gland. The patients were kept alive by artificial ventilation. In two of the patients the neutral 17-ketosteroids and the 17-hydrocorticosteroids fell to extremely low levels. At the same time, the number of eosinophil cells showed a tendency to increase. Corticotrophin administered intravenously twice to the third patient had a stimulating effect on the adrenal cortex. The theoretical and practical significance of these findings is discussed.

Abstract Specific mutations in the gene encoding the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RpII215) cause a partial transformation of a structure of the third thoracic segment, the capitellum, into the analogous structure of the second thoracic segment, the wing. This mutant phenotype is also caused by genetically reducing the cellular concentration of the transcription factor Ultrabithorax (Ubx). To recover mutations in the 140,000-D second-largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RpII140) and determine whether any can cause a mutant phenotype similar to Ubx we attempted to identify all recessive-lethal mutable loci in a 340-kilobase deletion including this and other loci. One of the 13 complementation groups in this region encodes RpII140. Three RpII140 alleles cause a transformation of capitellum to wing but unlike RpII215 alleles, only when the concentration of Ubx protein is reduced by mutations in Ubx.

Trinta complexos mamários (60 antímeros) de cadelas adultas, sem raça definida, foram estudados após injeções com substância látex e através de radiografias. Os segmentos anátomo-cirúrgicos arteriais foram identificados e nomeados de acordo com a localização das glândulas mamárias irrigadas, como se segue: as Aa. 4ª e 5ª perfurantes penetram na mama 1 em 85% dos casos - segmento torácico; 6ª e 7ª perfurantes penetram na mama 2 em 48,33% - segmento toraco-abdominal; A. epigástrica cranial superficial tem divisão intraparenquimal em: 1. rr. retrógrados à mama 2 em 51,66% - segmento toraco-abdominal cranial; 2. rr. terminais à mama 3 em 73,32% - segmento toraco-abdominal caudal. A A. epigástrica caudal superficial divide-se em 2 sub-segmentos: 1. seus rr. primários e rr. labiais ventrais à mama 5 e 4 em 96,66% - segmento inguino-abdominal caudal; 2. rr. terminais à mama 3 em 51,66% - segmento inguino-abdominal cranial. Foram evidenciadas anastomoses em 78,33%, todavia estas podem não ser significativas nas mastectomias. Arterial anatomosurgical segments of the mammary glands in dogs (Canis familiaris, Linnaeus, 1758) Abstract Thirty mammary complexes (sixty antimers) from cross bred multiparous bitches, were injected with latex and then studied by means of radiology and dissection. The different anatomo-surgical arterial segments thus obtained were identified and designated according to the anatomical zone of irrigation of each mammary gland as follows: 1. Thoracic segment, by means of the fourth and fifth perforant arteries, penetrates the first mammary gland in 85% of the cases; 2. Thoracoabdominal segment, by means of the sixth and seventh perforant arteries, penetrates the second mammary gland in 48.33 % of the cases. This segment can also be divided as follows: 2.1. Retrograde branches of the cranial superficial epigastric artery that penetrates the second mammary gland in about 51.66% of the cases, as the toracoabdominal cranial segment; 2.2. Terminal branches of the last artery penetrate the third mammary gland in 73.32% of the cases, as the toracoabdominal caudal segment. 3. Inguinoabdominal segment may also possess two sub-- segments: 3.1. Caudal superficial epigastric artery with primary branches penetrating the fourth mamma and the ventral labial branches, penetrating the fifth mamma in 96.66% of the cases, as inguinoabdomninal caudal segment. 3.2. Terminal branches of the caudal superficial epigastric artery penetrates the third mamma in 51.66% of the cases as inguinoabdominal cranial segment. The anastomosis observed in 78.33% of the cases may not have significance in mastectomy.

Functional TATA elements in the 5' untranslated region of the CYC1 gene in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been defined by transcriptional analysis of site-directed mutations. Five sites previously suggested to contain functional TATA elements were altered individually and in all possible combinations. The results indicated that only two elements are required for transcription at the normal level and the normal start sites. The two functional TATA elements are located at sites -178 and -123, where the A of the ATG start codon is assigned nucleotide position +1. They direct initiation within windows encompassing -70 to -46 and -46 to -28, respectively. Only when both of the upstream TATA sites were rendered nonfunctional were the third and fourth downstream TATA-like sequences activated, as indicated by the presence of low levels of transcription starting at -28. The two upstream functional TATA elements differed in sequence. The sequence of the most 5' one at site 1, denoted beta-type, was ATATATATAT, whereas that of the second one at site 2, denoted alpha-type, was TATATAAAA. The following rearrangements of the beta-type and alpha-type elements at two sites (1 and 2) were examined: site1 beta-site2 alpha; site 1 alpha-site 2 beta; site1 alpha-site2 alpha; and site1 beta-site2 beta. When different types were at different sites (site1 beta-site2 alpha and site1 alpha-site2 beta), both were used equally. In contrast, when the same type was present at both sites (site1 alpha-site2 alpha and site1 beta-site2 beta), only the upstream element was used. We suggest that the two TATA elements are recognized by different factors of the transcription apparatus.

Vaigamus retrobarbatus gen. et sp. nov. and V. spinicephalus sp. nov. (Copepoda: Poecilostomatoida) are described. The specimens were obtained by examining plankton samples from floodplain lakes of the Amazon River Basin in Brazil. The new genus is distinguished from all other genera and families in the suborder by the presence of retrostylets projecting laterally from the first thoracic segment and a long tapering rostral spine between the bases of the antennae. Vaigamidae fam. nov. is proposed for these forms. The two new species of the new genus are distinguished on the basis of the following characters. Size: retrobarbatus is larger than spinicephalus. Cephalothorax: that of spinicephalus is more ovoid. Pigment distribution: retrobarbatus had a broad transverse band of color on the cephalothorax while spinicephalus has a narrow band on the fourth thoracic segment. Rostral spine: spinicephalus has a spine with a subbasal swelling while that of the other species is smoothly tapering. Genital segment: that of retrobarbatus is more hexagonal. Antennal claw: in retrobarbatus the claw is longer than the third antennal segment while in the other species it is shorter. Leg 4: retrobarbatus has one fewer segment in each ramus than has the other species. Leg 6: that of retrobarbatus is longer.

To be more specific it aimed at describing students’ ability to comprehend reading text according to the levels of comprehension questions. This research was descriptive research. The population of this research was the second year students at SMAN 1 Sijunjung. The number of members of population was 165 students. The researcher took 80 students as the sample. In selecting sample, the researcher used stratified cluster random sampling technique. The data of this research were the students’ scores on comprehending text according to the levels of question. To take the data, the researcher used reading test. In analyzing the data, there were some steps she used: the first was presentation of raw scores and calculation of Mean and Standard Deviation. The second was classifying the students’ ability into high, moderate, and low ability. The third was determining the percentage of the students who had high, moderate, and low ability. The result of the data analysis showed that the ability of the second year students to comprehend reading text according to the levels of question at SMAN 1 Sijunjung was moderate. It was proved by the fact that 41 students (51.25%) had moderate ability. Specifically, the ability of the students to comprehend reading text at the level of comprehension questions was moderate. . It was proved by the fact that 55 students (68.75%) had moderate ability. Based on the findings above, it was suggested that the teachers give more exercises, beginning from the low levels of question to the high levels of question. It was also suggested to the teachers that they must promote a discussion to answer the questions on the texts being taught.

This paper addresses the study of the ethics of responsibility in the legislative function of the Chamber of Deputies of the H. Congress of the Union, from the perspective of evaluating the work of federal deputies, and seeks to answer the following question: Is the work of the Federal Deputies in the Chamber of Deputies efficient? The purpose is how to measure and evaluate the performance in the legislative function of the Federal Deputies? and with that, to approach to identify if is the work performed by these public representatives efficient and ethical? The work is integrated in three parts. The first is the concept of the ethics of responsibility and the legislative function. In the second section, the proposal of an indicator to measure legislative efficiency is presented and the case of the federal deputies of the LXI Legislature representing the State of Veracruz of Ignacio de la Llave is analyzed. Finally, the third part presents a proposal for citizen action based on information on legislative efficiency and the need to demand compliance with ethical responsibility in the legislative function. As important conclusions of the evaluation of the legislative efficiency of the federal deputies of the LXI Legislature, it shows at least two important results: i) The legislative effectiveness index (IEL) shows very low levels, both at the plenary level of the Chamber of Deputies, as at the level of the study group of federal deputies representing the State of Veracruz. ii) In both cases, they show a very high legislative lag index. An alternative is the citizen's demand for ethical compliance with responsibility in the legislative function when knowing the evaluation of results, which serves as a reference to identify scenarios of political choice based on results.

Abstract Hypertension awareness and control is poor in low- and middle-income countries. Thus, implementing strategies to increase hypertension detection is needed. Colombia participated as one of the 92 countries involved in the third campaign of the May Measurement Month in 2019. Blood pressure (BP) was measured in 48 324 volunteers from 13 departments in Colombia. In total, 27.9% individuals were identified with hypertension. Of those with hypertension, 63.7% were aware of their condition, 60.0% were on antihypertensive medication, and 38.4% had controlled BP. These results showed low levels of awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension in this sample of subjects volunteered to participate, suggest the urgent necessity of implementing programmes to improve the diagnosis and management of hypertension in Colombia.

The article is aimed at analyzing peculiarities of the use of cluster analysis for typifyng the regions of Ukraine according to the indicators that characterize the level of development of the trade industry. The article defines the role and place of the trade industry in the country’s economy. In particular, the modern trade industry, experiencing the next stage of dynamic transformation changes, remains one of the leading sectors of the economy of Ukraine, its importance for the development of the national economy is very difficult to overestimate. Sufficient attention is paid to the regional aspect of the implementation of domestic trade, in particular, the study of the level of development of trade activities in certain territories of the country and their further comparative analysis. Taking this into consideration, the article discusses in detail the features and stages of application of one of the methods of modeling multidimensional processes (cluster analysis) for grouping the regions of Ukraine by the level of development of the trade industry. As the information base of the study, indicators characterizing both the current state of the trade industry and the prospects for its development are used. The analysis was carried out for the period of 2017–2020, which allowed to analyze the dynamics of changes in the regional segment of Ukraine’s domestic trade. The carried out analysis showed that the most stable, in terms of the level of development of the trade industry during the study period, is the first cluster – the regions with a high level of trade industry development (Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, and Kharkiv regions). The second cluster includes regions with an average level of internal trade development. Donetsk, Poltava, Zaporizhzhia and Vinnytsia regions are stable representatives of this cluster. The most numerous is the third cluster of regions with low levels of trade development, which can be explained by the prolonged impact of the socio-economic and political crisis that began in 2014. It is determined that Ukraine is characterized by uneven development of territories, the corresponding trend is inherent in the development of the trade industry in the regions justifying the results of clustering.

Seasonal variations in different forms of extractable sulfur (S) were examined in three New Zealand soils under permanent pasture. The concentrations of total extractable S, extractable inorganic sulfate-S (SO2-4-S), and extractable organic HI-reducible sulfur (HI-S) and carbon-bonded sulfur (C-S) were determined in field moist samples using four different extractants. During the course of the year, extractable SO2-4-S levels varied substantially. Concentrations of SO42--S in the soils peaked in the early spring and, for two of the soils, remained at relatively low levels throughout the rest of the year. The third soil, however, following a decrease in concentration in late spring, showed a continuous increase in SO2-4-S during the summer and autumn period. Concentrations of extractable organic C-S in soils were generally highest in the winter and declined significantly during the spring. Extractable organic HI-S concentrations fluctuated throughout the year with no clear trends. The proportions of the three forms of extractable S in soils also varied seasonally. The proportions of extractable organic HI-S in soils were more constant compared with the other two forms of S and generally accounted for less than 20% of the total extractable S. The seasonal changes in the proportions of SO2-4-S appeared to be inversely related to the changes in extractable C-S. This suggests that under the field conditions, the extractable organic C-S fraction is readily mineralized to sulfate when conditions are favourable for mineralization to take place.
