It has been shown that the local extinction of large-bodied frugivores may cause cascading consequences for plant recruitment and overall plant diversity.However, to what extent the resilient mammals can compensate the role of seed dispersal in defaunated LOTION 30 VOL 9% sites is poorly understood.Caviomorph rodents, especially Dasyprocta spp., ar
Abstract Background In clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis, the hallmark cutaneous manifestations are the key to Graduate diagnosis.We report a case of clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis which presented with facial edema as the sole cutaneous manifestation and was later complicated by acute respiratory failure leading to death.Case presentatio
The vacuole is by far the largest intracellular Ca2+ store in most plant cells.Here, the current knowledge about the molecular mechanisms of vacuolar Ca2+ release and Ca2+ Can Safe uptake is summarized, and how different vacuolar Ca2+ channels and Ca2+ pumps may contribute to Ca2+ signaling in plant cells is discussed.To provide a phylogenetic pers
ABSTRACT Due to their intimate physical interactions with the environment, surface polysaccharides are critical determinants of fitness for bacteria.Caulobacter crescentus produces a specialized structure at one of its cell poles called the holdfast that enables attachment to surfaces.Previous studies have shown that the holdfast is composed of car
Abstract Purpura fulminans (PF) is an ominous cutaneous condition usually associated with meningococcemia.PF in the newborn is rarely reported.We report the case of a female preterm infant with extensive PF due to Book group B streptococcus (GBS) septicemia.She developed multi-organ system failure despite neonatal intensive care support and succumb
