Background: Cardiac myxomas are benign tumors that can occur in any heart chamber or valve.They are extremely rare in dogs.We present a novel case involving a cardiac myxoma in the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) and a ventricular septal defect (VSD) in a small dog.Case Description: A female miniature dachshund (age, 7 months; weight, 2.88 kg

Selection of genes involved in metabolic pathways could target them differently depending on the position of genes in the pathway and on their role in controlling metabolic fluxes.This hypothesis was tested in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway using population genetics and phylogenetics.Evolutionary rates of seven genes distributed along the caro

We present an animal model used to evaluate the in vivo performance of electrochemical amperometric continuous lactate sensors compared to blood gas instruments.Electrochemical lactate sensors were fabricated, placed into 5 Fr central venous catheters (CVCs), and paired with wireless potentiostat devices.Following in vivo evaluation and calibration

Dust explosions are a major concern in many industrial facilities and particularly in storage areas of biomass materials.Although venting standards (EN 14491 and NFPA Touch And Feel Book 68) provide satisfactory safety levels for most industrial applications, they present some limitations and there exist situations that they do not contemplate.Vent

ASDEX Upgrade is preparing a hardware modification of its upper divertor in order to study alternative divertor configurations, like the X-divertor (XD) and the snowflake divertor (SF), that are Bosch KIR81AF30G Tall Integrated Larder Fridge discussed as a possible solution for the power exhaust problem.Experiments characterizing the current upper
