Published: January 2001

Sixteen embalmed cadavers were dissected to determine the location of the lumbar nerve root and sympathetic trunk with reference to the superior border of transverse process. In the posterolateral lumbar disk region, a safe zone was found between the anterior limit of the lumbar nerve and the posterior limit of the sympathetic trunk. It has a transverse dimension of 22 mm at the T12-L1 disk region and 25 mm at the L4-L5 disk region. The only exception to this was the genitofemoral nerve running close to the lateral margin of the L2-L3 disk. The study provides an understanding of the posterolateral orientation of the lumbar nerves and sympathetic trunk.

South American camelids (SACs), particularly llamas (Lama glama) and alpacas (Vicugna pacos) are gaining popularity in Europe. Initially valued for their fiber and land management capabilities, these animals are now also kept for animal therapy, outdoor activities, and as companion animals. Despite their close interactions with humans and other animals, there is limited research on the transmission of microbes or antimicrobial resistance genes from SACs.

Urban reservoirs are frequently exposed to impacts from high population density, polluting activities, and the absence of environmental control measures and monitoring. In this study, we investigated the use of satellite imagery to assess restoration measures and support decision-making in a hypereutrophic urban reservoir. Since 2016, Lake Pampulha (Brazil) has undergone restoration measures, including the application of Phoslock®, to mitigate its poor water quality conditions.

Introduction: Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria like Proteus species have led to more prolonged hospitalizations, fewer care choices, higher treatment costs, and even death. The present study aims to evaluate the prevalence of MDR Proteus species in clinical samples and to suggest the best therapeutic options for the MDR Proteus species.

Methodology: Clinical samples were collected randomly from five hospitals in Golestan Province, Iran, from February 2017 to July 2019.
