Race-Ing Patents/Patenting Race: An Emerging Political Geography Of Intellectual Property In Biotechnology, Jonathan Kahn
Race-Ing Patents/Patenting Race: An Emerging Political Geography Of Intellectual Property In Biotechnology, Jonathan Kahn
Faculty Scholarship
This article applies insights from critical race theory to examine an emerging phenomenon in biotechnology research and product development. The strategic use of race as a genetic category to obtain patent protection and drug approval. A dramatic rise in the use of race in biotechnology patents indicates that researchers and affiliated commercial enterprises are coming to see social categories of race as presenting opportunities for gaining, extending, or protecting monopoly market protection for an array of biotechnological products and services. Racialized patents are also providing the basis for similarly race-based clinical trial designs, drug development, capital raising and marketing strategies …

OBJECTIVE: To ascertain the most prevalent risk factor for stroke. METHODS: We performed a descriptive and analytical prospective study on patients with stroke admitted to the neurology wards of Imam Hospital, Tabriz, Iran during 2004 and 2005. The study comprised 100 ischemic stroke (IS) patients consisting of 46 men and 54 women with a mean age of 67 +/- 15, and 100 age and gender matched apparently healthy subjects. Plasma levels of C-Reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, platelet counts, lipoprotein (a) (LP (a)), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), total cholesterol (TC), and triglycerides (TG) were measured in both …

Sagittal Alignment Of The Lumbar Spine In A Turkish Population, Ozdemir Sevinc, Merih Is, Cagatay Barut, Senem T. Ozdemir, Ferruh Ayoglu
Neurosciences
OBJECTIVE: To understand the normal lumbar spine in the sagittal plane, and the range of lumbar lordosis. METHODS: This study was carried out in the Department of Anatomy, School of Medicine, Duzce University, Duzce, Turkey in the year 2005. We retrospectively reviewed T1-weighed sagittal spin-echo MRIs of the lumbar spine in 413 individuals (188 male, 225 female) aged between 13-82 years, and evaluated the angle of lumbar lordosis (ALL), sacrohorizontal angle (SHA), and lumbosacral angle (LSA). RESULTS: The ALL and SHA were significantly greater in females than in males (p<0.05). Weak, but significant correlations were detected between age and ALL, SHA, and LSA for females (p<0.05). The LSA was significantly greater for individuals over 41 years (p<0.05) when the entire study group was considered, and it was also significantly greater for individuals over 51 years in females (p<0.05). The LSA was significantly greater in the 7th decade than in the 3rd decade (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: The results of this study provide insight into the sagittal alignment of the lumbar region for a Turkish population, and can serve as a reference for further clinical studies to improve the planning of spinal surgery.

Transient Opsoclonus-Myoclonus Syndrome Secondary To Neuroblastoma, Roshan Koul, Amna Al-Futaisi, Ranjan Williams, Hashim Javad, Alexander Chacko
Neurosciences
We report a 2.5-year-old girl who presented with acute history of fluctuating level of consciousness in the form of drowsiness, extreme irritability, and involuntary abnormal movements in the form of shaking of the whole body. She was treated with acyclovir empirically, contemplating herpes simplex virus encephalitis. Overtime she improved substantially. The opsoclonus, myoclonus, and ataxia disappeared without treatment. However, 6 weeks later she presented again with classic opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome. The investigations revealed neuroblastoma. This case illustrates that transient opsoclonus-myoclonus may occur with neuroblastoma and should not be assumed to be due to viral cause. Thus, a thorough search for occult …
Spinal Cord Compression Due To Intraspinal Extramedullary Hematopoiesis In Thalassemia Intermedia, Husam Al-Habib, Nedim Hadzikaric
Spinal Cord Compression Due To Intraspinal Extramedullary Hematopoiesis In Thalassemia Intermedia, Husam Al-Habib, Nedim Hadzikaric
Neurosciences
Extramedullary hematopoiesis is a common phenomenon in thalassemia. During the disease there are very rare occasions when compensatory hematopoietic tissue is located in the intraspinal epidural space, causing spinal cord compression. This complication requires urgent neurosurgical consideration and decision for further treatment. We present a case of thoracic spinal cord compression secondary to extramedullary hematopoiesis in thalassemia intermedia, treated with irradiation therapy. The therapeutic options are discussed, and the need for more explicit therapeutic directions is highlighted.

Spinal Intramedullary Cavernous Hemangioma, Tarig S. Al-Khuwaitir, Hassabo B. Mohammed, Ali G. Al-Ghamdi, Ruslan A. Rzayev
Neurosciences
The spinal cord can be involved in a variety of disease processes. These can be congenital or acquired. An acute onset of symptoms usually allows a defined set of causes to be considered including trauma, ruptured vascular anomalies, demyelination, and myelitis. Intramedullary cavernous hemangioma of the spinal cord is a congenital or acquired vascular malformation, and one of the rare causes of hematomyelia. We present such a case, and discuss the symptoms, diagnosis, and suggested best treatment options based on a review of present day literature.

Variant Structures Potent To Compress The Median Nerve In The Arm, Srinivasa R. Bolla, Venkata R. Vollala, Mohandas Rao, Sudarshan Surendran
Neurosciences
The most commonly known nerve compression syndrome is carpal tunnel syndrome, in which the median nerve is compressed at the wrist. Along with the pathological processes, some of the anatomically variant structures can also compress the nerves and often leads to confusion in the diagnosis and treatment if one is unaware of such possible anatomical variants. Here, we present a case of possible median nerve compression by an additional belly of coracobrachialis and a fascial sheet from the brachialis, and we also discuss the other possible structures that can compress the median nerve.
