Rod migration to the occiput after C3-7 instrumentation: A rare case report and literature review.

Introduction And Importance: Cervical canal stenosis often requires posterior laminectomy with lateral mass (LM) screw/rod fixation for sagittal stability. Although rare, rod migration can pose serious risks, such as penetration into cranial structures, emphasizing the need for vigilant postoperative monitoring and prompt intervention.

Case Presentation: A 65-year-old male with no significant prior medical history underwent C3-7 laminectomy with LM screw/rod fixation for cervical canal stenosis.

Toxigenic and non-toxigenic Pasteurella multocida genotypes, based on capsular, LPS, and virulence profile typing, associated with pneumonic pasteurellosis in Iran.

Pasteurella multocida is an important cause of pneumonic pasteurellosis in small ruminants. Its prevalence was investigated in 349 pneumonic lungs from sheep (n = 197) and goats (n = 152), and genotypes of isolates were determined by capsular and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) typing as well as by virulotyping based on the detection of 12 virulence-associated genes. P.

Molecular characterization of Mannheimia haemolytica associated with ovine and caprine pneumonic lung lesions.

This study investigated via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) three main serotypes (A1, A2, and A6) and nine virulence-associated genes in 71 ovine and caprine Mannheimia haemolytica isolates obtained from lungs (n = 349) with pneumonic lesions from a slaughterhouse in Iran. The lung specimens were collected from sheep (n = 197) and goats (n = 152) between December 2018 and January 2020. A total of 71 M.

Third ventricle hydatid cyst: A rare case report and review of the literature.

A primary intraventricular hydatid cyst is a very rare phenomenon, which is mostly located in the lateral ventricle. To the best of our knowledge, only two cases of third ventricle hydatid cyst have been reported. Herein, we present a very rare case of third ventricle hydatid cyst in a four- year-old boy with nausea, vomiting, and progressive drowsiness.

Investigation of iron uptake and virulence gene factors ( and ) among isolates of from Iran.

Background And Objectives: Iron is an essential compound in metabolic pathway of wide range of organisms. Because of limited free iron supply in mammalian and avian hosts, bacteria have applied various ways to acquire iron.

Materials And Methods: In this study, the frequency of 8 iron acquisition factors was examined among 63 avian and ovine field isolates and their vaccine strains using PCR method.

"In-house" production of DNA size marker from a vaccinal Bacillus anthracis strain.

Background And Objectives: DNA molecular weight marker is widely used in molecular biology experiments incurring considerable costs on low-budget settings.

Materials And Methods: Here a PCR-supported procedure is described that uses 10 primer pairs targeting chromosomal DNA from the harmless vaccinal Bacillus anthracis Sterne 34F2 strain as template. A single PCR protocol is used to reproduce all the 10 fragments of a 100 bp DNA size marker.
