Calcitonin is a hormone that is produced and released by the C-cells of the thyroid gland. Its biological function in humans is to have a relatively minor role in calcium balance. What is the function of C cells in thyroid gland? Parafollicular cells, also called C cells, are neuroendocrine cells…

C. elegans has two sexes, hermaphrodite and male. … Males have the same five pairs of autosomes but only a single X chromosome. Nearly all gametes—sperm and eggs—produced by hermaphrodites are haplo-X and thus give rise to XX hermaphrodite self progeny, but rare males are generated through spontaneous X chromosome…

Consider the hydrogen chloride (HCl) molecule. Each atom in HCl requires one more electron to form an inert gas electron configuration. … Polar Covalent Bonds. Structural Unit1 Bond Moments (D) C—N 0.2 C—O 0.7 C—F 1.4 C—Cl 1.5 Is C-Cl ionic bond? C – Cl bond is more ionic than…

nausea, malaise, and. an atypical but significant consequence of C. difficile is that some who become infected do not get diarrhea, but rather the symptoms manifest as bloating and constipation. How do you treat C. diff constipation? Severe CDI is usually treated with intravenous metronidazole and oral vancomycin; rectal vancomycin…

In dentistry, the configuration factor (or c-factor) refers to the number of bonded surfaces in an adhesive dental restoration. What does a high C Factor mean? C-Factor is considered to be an important factor that can affect the developing stresses when cavities are restored with resin composite materials. Feilzer et…

C. difficile toxin gene testing—this tests for the toxin genes using nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT), typically a PCR method. These tests are rapid and very sensitive methods to confirm the presence of C. difficile toxin gene. What is the most sensitive test for C diff? The culture of C.difficile…

The C-banding method selectively stains the areas located around the centromeres of all chromosomes and on the distal long arm of the Y chromosome (27). The largest C-bands usually occur on chromosomes 1, 9, and 16 and the Y in regions that contain highly repetitive, nontranscribed DNA. Why is chromosome…

C Lines. C lines are defined as hypoechoic subpleural focal images generated by condensed lung tissue, without visceral pleural line gap (Figure 4). C lines are not true lines, but are designated as such for the sake of consistency with nomenclature standards. What are lines on ultrasound? A lines: Appear…

c-kit (also called CD117) is a type III receptor tyrosine kinase expressed predominantly in bone marrow stem/progenitor cells118 and has recently been identified as a marker for EPC and cardiac progenitor cell identity. What does CD117 positive mean? Other mesenchymal tumors that were variably CD 117 positive included clear cell…
