Type I Chiari malformation (CM-I) consists of downward herniation of the cerebellar tonsils below the foramen magnum and often requires surgical decompression if symptomatic. Spontaneous resolution of CM-I is rare. We present a case of resolved CM-I without surgery in a 6-year-old boy with B-cell lymphoma who was diagnosed with CM-I during…[Read more]

In conclusion, the speed of invitro embryo development in our IVEP system affects the likelihood of foaling and the sex of the foal.Invitro embryo production has evolved rapidly in the horse over the past decade, but blastocyst rates from vitrified equine oocytes remain quite poor and further research is needed to warrant application. Oocyte…[Read more]

A characteristic of cancer development is the acquisition of genomic instability, which results from the inaccurate repair of DNA damage. Among double-strand break repair mechanisms induced by oncogenic stress, the highly mutagenic theta-mediated end joining (TMEJ) pathway, which requires DNA polymerase theta (POLθ) encoded by the POLQ gene, has…[Read more]
