Reassessment of anatomical preparations

On a New Method of Preserving Anatomical Preparations

gaged in making trial of a method, which I believe to be new, of preserving anatomical preparations, the advantages attending which have exceeded my most sanguine expectations. Its principal advantages consist, first, in its great cheapness ; secondly, in the durability of its preservative power; and, thirdly, in the clear and instructive manner in which it displays the minute structure of text...

A reassessment of the relationship between international reference preparations for human and rabbit thromboplastins.

Two established international reference preparations (IRP) for thromboplastins, i.e. RBT/90 (rabbit, plain) and rTF/95 (recombinant human, plain) have been calibrated against each other in a 7-centre exercise performed in 2000. The purpose of the study was to compare the calibration results with those of the original calibration study performed in 1995. The international sensitivity index (ISI)...

Reassessment of combined LT4 and LT3 treatment for hypothyroidism: the prospects for slow-release T3 preparations.

Anatomical Variations of Vertebral Artery

Introduction: Vertebral arteries arise from the root of the neck as the first branches from the superior-posterior aspect of the subclavian arteries. They ascend the neck to enter the cranial cavity and supply blood to the brain. Methods: A total of 20 cadavers (in 10 years) were dissected for the study of variations in the origin of the vertebral artery. This study was conducte...
