A rare case of cerebral cortical dysplasia with arterial vascular dysplasia.

Background: Cortical dysplasias are rarely associated with vascular anomalies. They are usually associated with venous anomalies or in few cases with both arterial and venous anomalies.

Methods: Twenty-six year old female presented with history of headache showed cortical dysplasia associated with pure arterial dysplasia in the absence of any associated venous anomaly.

Back stab: percutaneous vertebroplasty for severe back pain.

Objective: To review the evidence supporting use of percutaneous vertebroplasty for relief of pain and mechanical stability in patients with vertebral compression fractures unrelieved by conventional measures.

Quality Of Evidence: Ovid MEDLINE was searched from January 1966 to December2006 for all English-language papers on vertebroplasty. The quality of evidence in these papers was graded according to the 4-point classification system of evidence-based medicine.

The Tic40 translocon components exhibit preferential interactions with different forms of the Oee1 plastid protein precursor.

The transport of proteins across the plastid envelope involves a host of proteinaceous components that attend to varying structural needs of the process. This study focuses on interactions between two select forms (designated Tic40 and Toc36) of the Tic40-related components and different structural versions of the Oee1 precursor to dissect the components' mode of operation. Interaction profiling revealed several features pertaining to how Tic40-related components might work during the transport process.
