Cerebellar progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy identified by the shrimp sign.

Progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy (PML) is a demyelinating disease caused by the John Cunningham (JC) virus, which may get reactivated under certain immunosuppressive states such as AIDS, immunomodulatory therapy and haematological malignancies. PML has been reported rarely even in immunocompetent individuals where no immunodeficiency was present. PML characteristically involves periventricular and juxtacortical white matter.

Macroeconomic effects of uncertainty: a Google trends-based analysis for India.

This study proposes a new high-frequency indicator to measure economic policy uncertainty in the context of India, a large emerging market economy. Based on internet search intensity data, the proposed index tends to peak around domestic and global events associated with uncertainty that may prompt economic agents to alter their decisions to spend, save, invest and hire. Using an external instrument with structural vector autoregression (SVAR-IV) framework, we provide fresh evidence on the causal impact of uncertainty on the Indian macroeconomy.

A Comparative Study Evaluating the Efficacy of Lignocaine and Dexmedetomidine with Lignocaine and Adrenaline in Third Molar Surgery.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the anesthetic efficacy, duration of action, pain, and cardiovascular effects of dexmedetomidine when added to 2% lignocaine hydrochloride in bilateral symmetrical impacted third molars.

Materials And Methods: This study comprised of 40 healthy patients who required extraction of identical bilateral impacted lower third molars. The left side of the patients was designated as test side where patients received local anesthesia with lignocaine plus dexmedetomidine (2% lignocaine + dexmedetomidine 1 μ/ml), and the right side of the patients was designated as control side where patients received local anesthesia with lignocaine plus adrenaline (2% lignocaine in 1:80,000 adrenaline).

A murine homolog of the yeast RNA1 gene is required for postimplantation development.

A gene has been characterized that is required for postimplantation mouse development. The gene, designated fug1, was disrupted in embryonic stem cells by the U3Neo gene trap retrovirus, and the disrupted allele was introduced into the germ line. Homozygous mutant embryos arrest at the egg cylinder stage at about embryonic day 6 and are mostly resorbed by day 8.
