Tang and Sim reported the revision procedures for stem breakage [ 19, 20].
This procedure might induce screw breakage, contralateral radiculopathy, and cage micromotion, as in the reported complications of minimal access TLIF technique using UPSF [ 11, 12, 14- 18, 18, 38].
We describe procedures for the efficient breakage and homogenization of every larval stage, including dauers, and show that the Balch homogenizer can be used to extract functionally active proteins.
A simple procedure for experimental evaluation of breakage and coalescence rates in turbulent liquid liquid dispersions was developed.
Locking screw breakage has been considered a "self-dynamization" procedure, which may indicate progression of fracture healing [2].
This procedure weakened the needle and caused breakage at the glued junction between needle and it's handle during the extraction procedure of the needle in 14 cases.
Although prosthetic replacement is one of the standard procedures for limb salvage operations, loosening, breakage, and wear particle formation of the prosthesis can cause clinical problems [ 4, 5].
In our study, breakage of the bone tunnel was identified during the procedure in only one patient; this patient had severe osteoporosis that was apparent on plain radiographs of the lumbar spine.
Although some cells from non-irradiated hydrated larvae exhibited detectable levels of DNA fragmentation, probably reflecting naturally occurring breakage during the cell cycle or effects of experimental procedures, the mean level of background DNA fragmentation (% of DNA in the tail of a comet) in a pool of these control cells never exceeded 5 7% (Fig. 1B).
We then differentially labeled the digested and the undigested control DNA in gel with Cy-conjugated dUTPs and carried out the procedures described above to obtain a "chromosome breakage profile" of the cells containing BamHI ends.
