Biomedical Science & Research Journals | Correlative Microscopy of Cerebellar Molecular Layer Postsynaptic Proteins and Postsynaptic Receptors


Correlative microscopy of cerebellar molecular layer allowed us to image the localization of postsynaptic receptors using a comparative and intermicroscopy study applying transmission electron microscopy (TEM), freeze-etching and direct replicas for transmission electron microscopy (FFTEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) using immunohistochemistry of Synapsin-I and PSD-95, immunohistochemistry of Ca2+/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II alpha and immunohistochemistry GluR1 subunits of AMPA receptors alpha. These techniques showed the images of postsynaptic densities of parallel fibers-Purkinje dendritic ramifications containing postsynaptic proteins and glutamate postsynaptic receptors. The freeze-etching replica method for TEM showed the three-dimensional structure and intramembrane morphology of postsynaptic ellipsoidal and spheroid intramembrane particles. Confocal laser scanning microscopy using Synapsin-I (Syn-I) and PSD-95, GluR1 subunits of ionotropic glutamate receptors, and Ca2+/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II alpha contribute to image the precise localization of postsynaptic receptors. The high resolution FESEM showed 25-50nm globular subunits at the spine postsynaptic density corresponding to the localization of postsynaptic proteins and/or postsynaptic glutamate receptors.

  Simulation Programs in Disaster Medicine Introduction The Significance Soft Abilities in the services of disaster medicine Soft skills are characterized as the individual qualities that empower a person to communicate adequately and harmoniously with others in stuff conditions and are fundamental for effective execution in any relational setting. According to Abbas [ 1 ] these properties are much more pivotal in the medical services industry of disaster medicine and not only, where therapeutic experts and representatives more nearly collaborate with patients and different human groups, as a rule under to great degree troublesome and passionate conditions. Accordingly, people work in disaster medicine issues should completely screen work possibility to guarantee they have the delicate aptitudes required to convey an outstanding level of care and administration to patients, while additionally having the capacity to effectively team up with staff individuals to boost hierarchical vi...

Biomedical Science and Research Journals | Phosphatidylethanol (PEth); the Superior Direct Alcohol Biomarker against Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) and Carbohydrate-Deficient Transferrin (CDT)

Phosphatidylethanol (PEth); the Superior Direct Alcohol Biomarker against Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) and Carbohydrate-Deficient Transferrin (CDT) Editorial As ethanol itself is metabolised and excreted quickly from the body, assessing alcohol consumption with a blood test relies on other markers indicative of consumption. Traditional tests include Liver Function Testing (LFT), Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin (CDT) Testing, and a Full Blood Count (FBC). Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) testing, on the other hand, is a direct biomarker of alcohol consumption, can only be detected when alcohol has been consumed, and is directly correlated with the level of alcohol consumed There are some difficulties when testing alcohol in blood to determine if alcohol had been abused. Due to these challenges in testing alcohol consumption behaviours across society, in the most recent decade...

Biomedical Science and Research Journals | The Effect of User Charges on the Pattern of Health Care Demand in Nigeria

  The Effect of User Charges on the Pattern of Health Care Demand in Nigeria Abstract The economic downturn in early 1980s in Nigeria led to the introduction and implementation of user charges in government health care facilities. This coupled with the persistent poverty level in Nigeria raises the question of consumers’ ability and willingness to pay these user charges. Accordingly, using primary data, this study examined the possible trade-off between user charges and demand for government health services in Nigeria. The analysis showed that increasing user fees substantially reduced the use of government health facility by low-income earners. Thus, it was recommended, among others, that government should introduce price discrimination into user fees, to be set at marginal cost. This would help avoid the adverse distribution effects of user-fees, especially, on the lower income group.
