Abstract:

Les divisions méiotiques sont très asymétriques en taille et génèrent une très grosse cellule, l'ovocyte, et deux petites cellules, les globules polaires. Cette asymétrie est permise par la migration du fuseau lors de la première division jusqu'au cortex le plus proche. Cette migration ne dépend pas des microbutules mais de la Myosin-II et d'un réseau de filaments d'actine nucléé par la coopération des nucléateurs de filaments droits Formin-2 et Spire1/2. Des observations préliminaires effectuées au laboratoire ont décrit un épaississement du cortex d'actine pendant la migration du fuseau, mai

Abstract:

Cells must faithfully segregate their chromosomes at division; errors in this process causes cells to inherit an incorrect number of chromosomes, a hallmark of birth defects and cancer. The machinery required to segregate chromosomes is called the spindle, a bipolar array of microtubules that attach to chromosomes through the kinetochore. Replicated chromosomes contain two sister chromatids whose kinetochores must attach to microtubules from opposite poles to ensure correct inheritance of chromosomes. The spindle checkpoint monitors the attachment to the spindle and prevents cell division unt

Abstract:

Accurate distribution of genetic material is critical for the formation of functional cells and their proliferation. During cell division, sister chromatids separate from each other and segregate to opposite poles. To ensure accurate chromosome segregation all sister chromatids should be attached to microtubules from opposite spindle poles, known as bi-orientation. Cohesin is a protein complex that holds sister chromatids together from the time of its replication in S phase until anaphase onset, and it is required for proper chromosome segregation both in mitosis and in meiosis. It is distribu

Abstract:

Each mitotic chromosome is constituted by two sister chromatids whose correct segregation to the daughter cells is ensured by amphitelic attachment, in which the two sister kinetochores (KTs) are attached to microtubules (MTs) from opposite mitotic spindle poles. KT mis-attachments can occur in early mitosis and cause chromosome mis-segregation and aneuploidy if not corrected. These mis-attachments include monotelic (one attached and one unattached sister KT), syntelic (both sister KTs attached to the same spindle pole), and merotelic (a single KT attached to MTs from opposite spindle poles) a

Abstract:

This paper presents a mathematical model to predict the distribution of yarn tension and the balloon shape as a function of spindle speed in the ring spinning process. The dynamic yarn path from the delivery rollers to the winding point on the cop has been described with a non-linear differential equation system. These equations have been integrated with a Runge–Kutta method using MATLAB software. Since the numerical solution of the equations strongly depends on initial values, an algorithm of sensitivity analysis has been developed to predict the right choice of initial values in order to fin

Abstract:

One of the major health problems in western societies is back pain, with a prevalence rate of 49%–80%. In many cases, the back pain is due to degenerated discs. The gold standard to treat a severely degenerated disc is spinal fusion, where the vertebral disc is replaced with a cage structure. However, fusion cages have a failure rate of 30%, hence the need for further development. The focus of this thesis is to evaluate the combination of calcium phosphate cement with titanium, for a spinal application.

So, the position and the angle of every vertebral body affect the ligament tissue. Hungdi Neujing ( The Yellow Emperor’s internal canon) mentioned that proper bone sites have soft ligament and nice ligament leads fine bones placement. This indicated that bone and muscle tissue have very closed relationship. The right position of every vertebral body can affect the integration of the whole spine and the co

Dissertation submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Masters Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Durban University of Technology, 2010.<br>The 1 year overall prevalence of Episodic Tension-Type Headache (ETTH) is 38.3%; with lifetime prevalence at 46% for TTH. Little literature exists to support the effectiveness of spinal manipulation in the treatment of ETTH. Therefore aim of this study was to determine the relative effectiveness of cervical spine manipulation and a Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) (Ibuprofen®) in the treatment of ETTH.

Abstract:

In two separate studies, we used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)to examine white matter changes secondary to traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injury (SCI). The first study examined the utility of DTI for a single case diagnosis of mild TBI (mTBI) and demonstrated that the anterior limb of the internal capsule and the genu of the corpus callosum were sensitive and specific to mTBI. The second study examined the sub-acute effects of SCI on white matter tissue in the brain and demonstrated that SCI patients have a significantly greater degree of FA asymmetry than control subjects in th

Abstract:

Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is a medical imaging method that measures tissue structure. This is valuable when applied to the central nervous system (CNS) because it can provide structural information about white matter tracts. DTI of the spinal cord has been suggested as the next great leap in clinical diagnostics for spinal cord injury and disease because it may provide a measurable correlate of the physical structure of the cord with the associated functional deficit. Collecting precise structural information from the site of injury could be used to improve diagnostics and guide treatment

Abstract:

Low back pain is highly prevalent in the developed world, with 80% of the population being affected at some point in their lives. Herniation, a common injury to the intervertebral disc, is characterized as the posterior migration of the nucleus pulposus through the layers of the annulus fibrosus. Various risk factors have been associated with the development of disc herniation, but the mechanisms are largely not understood. For example, exposure to vibration has been linked to the occurrence of herniation, yet our understanding of this association is not clear. It is hypothesized that vibratio

Abstract:

Crosslinking soft tissue has become more common in tissue engineering applications, and recent studies have demonstrated that soft tissue mechanical behavior can be directly altered through crosslinking, but increased understanding of how crosslinking affects intervertebral disc mechanical behavior is needed. In vitro testing of bovine disc and motion segments was used to characterize several important aspects of disc behavior in response to crosslinking after both soaking and injection treatment. The first study was a comparison of different crosslinkers to determine the effect on tensile p

The exact causes of episodic tension-type headaches are not known (Headache Classification Committee, 1988:30-31). Episodic tension-type headache and chronic tension-type headache have different characteristics. Thus the mechanism of episodic tension-type headache is still unclear, and should be studied separately from chronic tension-t
