Objective: to explore the capabilities of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in combination with x-ray computed tomography (SPECT/CT) in the study of the anatomy and drainage function of lacrimal passages.Material and methods.Twelve scans were carried out in 6 healthy volunteers and in patients with different lacrimal drainage Spann
Comprehension of conventional and novel metaphors involves traditional language-related cortical regions as well as non-language related regions.While semantic processing is crucial for understanding metaphors, it is not sufficient.Recently the precuneus has been identified as a region that mediates complex and highly integrated tasks, including re
Cis-2-dodecenoic acid (i.e., Burkholderia cenocepacia Diffusible Signal Factor, BDSF), a signaling molecule produced by Burkholderia cenocepacia but not by Candida albicans, can prevent Candida albicans Nintendo AC Adaptor hyphal formation.The mechanism by which BDSF controls the morphological switch of C.albicans is still unknown.To address this i
In the present paper, a new method for the suppression of unsteady cavitation in a turbopump inducer is proposed.An accumulator with a large volume is Adapters placed at the upstream of the inducer to equalize the pressure around the periphery.Through the experiments with the accumulator, it was found that the occurrence region of rotating cavitati
