We have previously reported an HIV-1 mutant designated NL-Y226tac that expresses Vif at an ultra-low level, being replication-defective in Tote Bag high-APOBEC3G cells, such as H9.It carries a synonymous mutation within the splicing SA1 site relative to its parental clone.In order to determine whether a certain mutant(s) emerges during multi-infect
Modified minimally invasive technique for decompression and reduction of thoracolumbar burst fracture with neurological symptoms: Technical Note
Abstract Purpose There are few reports about minimally invasive decompression and fixation for patients with thoracolumbar fracture and neurological symptoms.The previously reported method requires complete laminectomy, and removal of the medial part of the pedicle to expose the spinal canal for reduction.Thus, some approach-related damage to the b
Compactifications of ADE conformal matter on a torus
Abstract In this paper we study compactifications of ADE type conformal matter, N M5 branes probing ADE singularity, on torus with flux for global symmetry.We systematically construct the four dimensional theories by Echinacea first going to five dimensions and studying interfaces.We claim that certain interfaces can be associated with turning on f
To tPA or Not to tPA: Two Medical-Legal Misadventures of Diagnosing a Cerebrovascular Accident as a Stroke Mimic
We present two recent successfully litigated malpractice cases in which patients with cerebrovascular accidents were misdiagnosed as stroke mimics.The first Wide Fireplace Insert was diagnosed as a hemiplegic migraine, which occurs in only 0.01% of the population.The second was diagnosed as a conversion disorder, which ultimately has a neurologic e
