EXTRA-OSSEOUS TC METHYLENE DIPHOSPHONATE UPTAKE DETECTED ENLARGEMENT OF THE KNEE JOINT IN PATIENT WITH POLYARTHRITIS

Extra-osseous Tc methylene diphosphonate uptake detected enlargement of the knee joint in patient with polyarthritis

Bone scintigraphy is a nuclear scanning test used to find abnormalities in the skeleton.Certain abnormal processes involving soft tissues can also cause skeletal accumulation of radiotracer during bone scintigraphy.We present a case of periarticular knee soft tissue 99m Tc methylene CBT diphosphonate uptake in a patient with asymmetric polyarthriti

Heterologous overexpression of bacterial hemoglobin VHb improves erythritol biosynthesis by yeast Yarrowia lipolytica

Abstract Background Yarrowia lipolytica is an unconventional yeast with a huge industrial potential.Despite many advantages for biotechnological applications, it possesses enormous demand for oxygen, which is a bottleneck in large scale production.In this study a codon optimized bacterial hemoglobin from Vitreoscilla stercoraria (VHb) was overexpre
