Enhanced levels of fractalkine and HSP60 in cerebrospinal fluid of sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder with a significant contribution of non-cell autonomous mechanisms to motor neuronal degeneration. Amongst a plethora of molecules, fractalkine (C-X3-C motif chemokine ligand 1), and Heat Shock Protein 60 (HSP60), are key modulators of microglial activation. The contribution of these molecules in Sporadic ALS (SALS) remains unexplored.

Huntington's procedure revisited.

Background: Management of gap nonunion of tibia is difficult for the surgeons, and time consuming for patients with unpredictable results. There are various methods to treat gap nonunion, but each one has its own limitations. We report the outcomes of ipsilateral fibular transposition (Huntington's procedure) for reconstruction of major tibial defects.

The effect of surgical management of endometrioma on the IVF/ICSI outcomes when compared with no treatment? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To assess the impact of surgical management of endometrioma on the outcome of assisted reproduction treatment (ART).

Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Setting: Department of reproductive medicine at teaching university hospital, UK.

Determination of Stability from Multicomponent Pesticide Mixes.

A study was conducted to evaluate the stability of 528 pesticides, metabolites, and contaminants prepared in large multicomponent mixes to enhance laboratory efficiency by allowing maximum use of the useful shelf life of the mixtures. Accelerated aging at 50 °C simulated 6 month, 1 year, and 2 year storage periods at -20 °C. Initial mixture composition was based on the instrument of analysis.
