Progressive decline in old pole gene expression signal enhances phenotypic heterogeneity in bacteria.

Cell growth and gene expression are heterogeneous processes at the single-cell level, leading to the emergence of multiple physiological states within bacterial populations. Aging is a known deterministic driver of growth asymmetry; however, its role in gene expression heterogeneity remains elusive. Here, we show that aging mother cells undergo a progressive decline in old pole activity, generating asymmetry in protein partitioning, gene expression, and cell morphology.

Single and double injection paravertebral block comparison in reduction mammaplasty cases: a randomized controlled study.

Background: This study compares the analgesic effects and dermatomal blockade distributions of single and double injection bilateral thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) techniques in patients undergoing reduction mammaplasty.

Methods: After obtaining ethics committee approval, 60 patients scheduled for bilateral reduction mammaplasty were included in the study. Preoperatively, the patients received one of single (Group S: T3-T4) or double (Group D: T2-T3 & T4-T5) injection bilateral TPVBs using bupivacaine 0.

The Role of Indirect Laryngoscopy, Clinical and Ultrasonographic Assessment in Prediction of Difficult Airway.

Objectives: Pre-operative airway evaluation is essential to decrease the proportion of possible mortality and morbidity due to difficult airway (DA). The study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of pre-operative ultrasonographic airway assessment (UAA) and indirect laryngoscopy (IL) in predicting DA.

Study Design: Prospective obsevational study.

Guided Bone Regeneration Using BioGlue As a Barrier Material With and Without Biphasic Calcium Phosphate.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Bioglue as a mechanical barrier with or without biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) in a rat tibia model. Sixty Sprague Dawley male rats weighing 250 ± 20 g and 10 to 12 weeks of age were studied. Unicortical defects were created on the right tibia of all rats.
