Noteworthy Anatomical and Physiological Researches

Presbyopia and its anatomical and physiological variants.

AIM To study the various ocular anatomical and physiological parameters in presbyopia. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied the various ocular anatomical and physiological parameters like corneal curvature (keratometry readings: K1 and K2), central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT) and axial length (AL) in 100 presbyopic patients between 35 - 55 years of a...

Anatomical and physiological simulation for respiratory mechanics.

Injuries in trauma affect anatomical structures, indirectly affecting physiological systems through mechanical behavior and physical proximity. This paper describes the theory for and preliminary results from our approach to couple a three-dimensional (3-D) anatomical model of the chest with a physiological model of respiratory mechanics. In particular, we investigated behavior in quiet, normal...

Anatomical and Physiological Patterns of Right Ventricle

Anatomy of right ventricle (RV) and some of its function was first described by Harvay W [1]. Since then, for many years until recent decades only a few researchers have tried to specify its prognostic importance in main cardiac diseases as right heart has been traditionally considered to have a little or at most secondary to left ventricle (LV) role in overall cardiac function and development ...

When a 359-g baby girl was born at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in 1994, the parents wondered whether other infants that small had survived in other hospitals. Their question led to an attempt to collect reports of survivors with birth weights of less than 400 g from the medical literature and lay media and the Tiniest Babies Registry was born. To date, the registry has collecte...
