Blood supply to the caudate lobe was demonstrated in 21 (44.7%) patients in 50% (19/38) and 22.2% (2/9) of the repeated and initial TACE groups, respectively. The caudate arteries had previously been embolized in eight patients, the RIPA branch in three, and both in one. Forty-one proximal branches mainly supplied the dorsal part of the SP. All branches but five reached there through the inferior vena cava (IVC) ligament. The RIPA supplied eight of nine caudate lobe HCCs, totally (n = 7) or partially (n = 1). CONCLUSION The proximal RIPA branches mainly supply the dorsal SP through the IVC ligament, especially in the repeated TACE group.In a previous study on hand selection in a sequential reaching task, the authors showed a shift of the point-of-change (POC) to the left of the midline. This implies that participants conducted a number of contralateral reaches with their dominant, right hand. Contralateral movements have longer planning and execution times and a lower precision. In the current study, we asked whether lower mechanical costs of motor execution or lower cognitive costs of motor planning compensated for these disadvantages. Theories on hemispheric differences postulate lower mechanical costs in the dominant hemisphere and lower cognitive costs in the left hemisphere (independent of handedness). In right-handed participants, both factors act agonistically to reduce the total cost of right-handed reaches. To distinguish between the cost factors, we had left- and right-hand-dominant participants execute a sequential, unimanual reaching task. Results showed a left-shift of the POC in the right-handed and a right-shift in the left-handed group. Both shifts were similar in magnitude. These findings indicate that only the mechanical cost of motor execution compensates for the disadvantages of the contralateral reaches, while the cognitive cost of motor planning is irrelevant for the POC shift.Here I write a personal assessment of Professor John Rothwell's seminal book, "Control of Human Voluntary Movement". I focus on the second edition published in 1994, reflecting on its importance over the last 25 years and explaining why it remains highly relevant for the motor control field to this day. It is to be hoped that a third edition will be written that updates the physiology and unifies it with computational motor control. The book attests to the continuing importance of monographs in science, as they uniquely allow for long-form narrative and coherent synthesis.Bensulfuron-methyl is an herbicide widely used for weed control although its residues cause damage to other crops during crop rotations.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/cnqx.html  In this study, the biodegrading activity of bensulfuron-methyl by a plant growth-promoting bacterial strain was carried out. Methylopila sp. DKT isolated from soil was determined for bensulfuron-methyl degradation and phosphate solubilization in the liquid media and soil. Moreover, the effects of the herbicide on peanut development and the role of Methylopila sp. DKT on the growth promotion of peanut were investigated. The results showed that the isolate effectively utilized the compound as a sole carbon source and solubilized low soluble inorganic phosphates. Methylopila sp. DKT also utilized 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine, a metabolite of bensulfuron-methyl degradation, as a sole carbon and energy source, and released ammonium and nitrate. The supplementation with Methylopila sp. DKT in soil increased the peanut biomass and the phosphorus content in the plant. In addition, the inoculation with Methylopila sp. DKT in soil and peanut cultivation increased the bensulfuron-methyl degradation by 57.7% for 1 month, which suggests that both plants and the bacterial isolate play a key role in herbicide degradation. These results indicate that the studied strain has a high potential for soil remediation and peanut growth promotion.We incidentally observed the occipital artery (OA) arising from the cervical internal carotid artery (ICA) at the level of the C2 vertebral body on magnetic resonance (MR) angiography in three patients. In the rare case in which the OA arises from the ICA, it is generally at its origin. The OA arises from the cervical ICA when all but the distal part of the anastomosis of the primitive proatlantal artery between the ICA and vertebral artery persists. Careful review of MR angiographic images is important to detect rare arterial variations, and both partial maximum-intensity-projection images and source images aid their identification on MR angiography.Pregnant employees should be protected, particularly in crisis situations. The Maternity Protection Act states that employees are not allowed to have contact with infectious people, including people with SARS-CoV-2 infections; no new regulation is required here.Glioblastoma is the most common aggressive primary brain tumor. Standard care includes maximal safe surgical resection, radiation, and chemotherapy with temozolomide. However, the impact of this therapeutic approach on patient survival is disappointing and poor outcomes are frequently observed. Therefore, new therapeutic targets are needed to treat this potentially deadly tumor. Aurora kinases are one of today's most sought-after classes of therapeutic targets to glioblastoma therapy. They are a family of proteins composed of three members Aurora-A, Aurora-B, and Aurora-C that play different roles in the cell division through regulation of chromosome segregation. Deregulation of these genes has been reported in glioblastoma and a progressive number of studies have shown that inhibition of these proteins could be a promising strategy for the treatment of this tumor. This review discusses the preclinical and early clinical findings on the potential use of the Aurora kinases as new targets for the treatment of glioblastoma. KEY MESSAGES GBM is a very aggressive tumor with limited therapeutic options. Aurora kinases are a family of serine/threonine kinases implicated in GBM pathology. Aurora kinases are critical for glioblastoma cell growth, apoptosis, and chemoresistance. Inhibition of Aurora kinases has a synergistic or sensitizing effect with chemotherapy drugs, radiotherapy, or with other targeted molecules in GBM. Several Aurora kinase inhibitors are currently in clinical trials.
