Facial nerve palsy in otitis externa: A red flag?

Otitis externa is an infection of the external auditory canal.It rarely results in facial palsy except in severe cases such as necrotizing otitis externa, which MIGRAID is a life-threatening invasive infection of the external auditory canal.Early recognition with prompt and appropriate treatment of necrotizing otitis externa is crucial to prevent m

Spectroscopic Identification on CO2 Separation from CH4 + CO2 Gas Mixtures Using Hydroquinone Clathrate Formation

The formation of hydroquinone (HQ) clathrate and the guest behaviors of binary (CH4 + CO2) gas mixtures were investigated by focusing on an application to separate CO2 from landfill gases.Spectroscopic measurements show that at two experimental pressures of 20 and 40 bar, CO2 molecules are preferentially captured in HQ clathrates regardless of Syru

A phylogenetic survey of myotubularin genes of eukaryotes: distribution, protein structure, evolution, and gene expression

Abstract Background Phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) lipids, produced and modified by PtdIns kinases and phosphatases, are critical to the regulation of diverse cellular functions.The myotubularin PtdIns-phosphate phosphatases have been well characterized in yeast and especially animals, where multiple isoforms, both catalytically activ
