The centrosome of the amoebozoan model provides the best-established model for an acentriolar centrosome outside the . exhibits an unusual centrosome cycle, in which duplication is initiated only at the G2/M transition and occurs entirely during the M phase. Little is known about the role of conserved centrosomal kinases in this process.

Methods: In this prospective cohort study, patients with TIA, ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage were enrolled into a 12-month case management-based program (SOS-Care) along with conventional care.
Objective: To describe the prevalence of postoperative bacteriuria, clinical course of subclinical bacteriuria in the absence of antimicrobial intervention, clinical signs of bacteriuria that trigger antimicrobial treatment, and outcomes for dogs with subclinical bacteriuria following surgical decompression of acute intervertebral disc herniation (IVDH) Hansen type I.
Animals: Twenty client-owned dogs undergoing hemilaminectomy for acute (≤ 6 days) IVDH Hansen type I affecting the thoracolumbar spinal cord segments between August 2018 and January 2019.
Procedures: In this prospective study, dogs were serially evaluated at presentation, hospital discharge, 2 weeks postoperatively, and between 4 and 6 weeks postoperatively.
Pregnant and lactating women have been discouraged from using cannabis by Health Canada. However, the increasing rate of cannabis use among pregnant women has presented an urgent need to investigate its physiological effects during the perinatal period. During pregnancy, the mammary gland (MG) undergoes remodeling, which involves alveolar differentiation of mammary epithelial cells (MECs), which is essential for breast milk production and secretion.

Aim was to relate the mechanical properties and strength of this matrix that make biofilms as persistent to cleaning as they are, to the complex cohesive molecular interactions involved. Mechanical properties of the gels as a function of CaCO concentration were investigated using dynamic and static rheology.
