Abstract Introduction The variations in the morphological characteristics of the extra-hepatic biliary system are interesting.Case presentation During the dissection of cadavers to study the morphological characteristics of the extra-hepatic biliary system, a 46-year-old male cadaver was found to have drainage of the common hepatic duct drains dire
A hybrid wavelet-Lyapunov exponent model for river water quality forecast
The use of spectral theory and chaos theory on river water quality modeling is reported in a very limited way.This study proposes a wavelet-maximum Lyapunov exponent (WMLE) hybrid model for river water quality dynamics, combining spectral theory and chaos theory.The methodology involves the following major steps: (1) use of wavelet transformation t
Putting the face in context: Body expressions impact facial emotion processing in human infants
Body Flags expressions exert strong contextual effects on facial emotion perception in adults.Specifically, conflicting body cues hamper the recognition of emotion from faces, as evident on both the behavioral and neural level.We examined the developmental origins of the neural processes involved in emotion perception across body and face in 8-mont
ALPERS-HUTTENLOCHER SYNDROME
Alpers-Huttenlocher syndrome is a Tank Cover rare mitochondrial disease connected with mutations in the mitochondrial DNA replicase, polymerase gamma (POLG).The reduction of the activity within mitochondrial enzymes is connected with the reduction of replications level within the mitochondrial DNA.The disease manifests itself once the replications
Population variability in X-chromosome inactivation across 10 mammalian species
Abstract One of the two X-chromosomes in female mammals is epigenetically silenced in embryonic stem cells by X-chromosome inactivation.This creates a mosaic of cells expressing either the maternal or the paternal X allele.The X-chromosome inactivation ratio, the proportion of inactivated parental alleles, varies widely among individuals, represent
