Fixed Action Patterns

17.6K
A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

Chromatin Position Affects Gene Expression

24.8K
Chromatin is the massive complex of DNA and proteins packaged inside the nucleus. The complexity of chromatin folding and how it is packaged inside the nucleus greatly influences  access to genetic information. Generally, the nucleus' periphery is considered transcriptionally repressive, while the cell's interior is considered a transcriptionally active area. 
Topologically Associated Domains (TADs)
The 3-dimensional positioning of chromatin in the nucleus influences the...

The Tree of Life - Bacteria, Archaea, Eukaryotes

38.4K
The “tree of life” describes the evolution of life and the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The root of the tree is the common ancestor to all life on Earth. All other species radiate from this point, much like the branches of a tree. The numerous tips of these branches on the tree of life represent every living, or extant, species. Extinct species, which are species that no longer exist, can be found towards the center of the tree. Currently, these organisms, both...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Neurosurgery
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Cervical spine trauma presents a spectrum of severity, ranging from minor ligamentous injuries to severe osteo-ligamentous instability with potential spinal cord injury.
  • Effective emergent evaluation necessitates standardized clinical and radiographic protocols to accurately identify injuries and associated pathologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of cervical spine trauma, encompassing both upper and subaxial regions.
  • To synthesize classic literature and recent publications on cervical spine injury assessment, classification, and management.
  • To elucidate injury patterns, predict instability, and guide treatment and outcomes for patients with cervical trauma.

Main Methods:

  • Literature search conducted using Pubmed and Ovid databases for relevant articles.
  • Inclusion of classic references and prior reviews to identify seminal works and established classifications.
  • Systematic evaluation of recently published literature to ensure comprehensive coverage of current knowledge.

Main Results:

  • Cervical spine injuries require individualized assessment based on regional anatomy.
  • Standardized protocols are crucial for accurate diagnosis and risk stratification.
  • A thorough understanding of both upper and subaxial cervical spine trauma is essential for optimal patient care.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of cervical spine trauma relies on a combination of established principles and recent advancements.
  • Accurate classification and risk assessment are paramount for predicting instability and guiding treatment.
  • This review serves as a valuable resource for clinicians managing patients with cervical spine injuries.
