Sternoclavicular Amyloid Arthropathy in a Patient With End-Stage Renal Disease.

Amyloidosis is an extracellular deposition of amyloid located in different organs or in a systemic distribution. We present a case of a 78 year-old male with hemodyalisis assosciated amyloidosisis involving the right sternoclavicular joint. Clinical and imaging implications are described.

Synthesis of ₃(PO₄)₂ [ = Ni, Cu, Mn] Nanomaterials as an Efficient Electrode for Energy Storage Applications.

In this study, a general and effective phosphorization strategy is demonstrated to enhance the super capacitor performance of Ni, Cu, and Mn transition metals. The composites such as Ni₃(PO₄)₂, Cu₃(PO₄)₂ and Mn₃(PO₄)₂ were achieved by employing hydrothermal method mixing with ethylene glycol. These composite nanostructures were characterized by standard sophisticated techniques such as XRD, RAMAN, FTIR, UV, PL and SEM studies.

Human trace fear conditioning: right-lateralized cortical activity supports trace-interval processes.

Pavlovian conditioning requires the convergence and simultaneous activation of neural circuitry that supports conditioned stimulus (CS) and unconditioned stimulus (US) processes. However, in trace conditioning, the CS and US are separated by a period of time called the trace interval, and thus do not overlap. Therefore, determining brain regions that support associative learning by maintaining a CS representation during the trace interval is an important issue for conditioning research.

Horizontal alveolar bone loss: A periodontal orphan.

Background: Attempts to successfully regenerate lost alveolar bone have always been a clinician's dream. Angular defects, at least, have a fairer chance, but the same cannot be said about horizontal bone loss. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of horizontal alveolar bone loss and vertical bone defects in periodontal patients; and later, to correlate it with the treatment modalities available in the literature for horizontal and vertical bone defects.
