this study was conducted on 48 specimens of rectus abdominis muscles for recognition and definition of passage and ramification of lower intercostal nerves. the main results of this study are as follows: 1- the seventh and eight intercostal nerves penetrated to posterior layer of the rectus sheath while other intercostal nerves perforated to dorsal layer of internal oblique abdominis aponeurosi...

An experiment with male layer-type chickens was carried out in the Institute of Animal Science-Kostinbrod, aiming to investigate their growth performance and carcass composition, as well cooking loss tenderness meat at age 5 9 weeks. The birds were reared controlled microclimate, initial stocking density 22 birds/m2. After weeks age, fragmentation applied it diminished 7 Chickens slaughtered 10...

Title Less stimulating environmental conditions decrease spatial learning ability and reduce GAP-43 and synaptophysin immunostaining in the hippocampal formation in adult male mice 1 Environmental conditions affect learning ability and cause neuroanatomical alterations of neu-rons and synapses in the hippocampal formation. We reared male mice in standard, enriched and wheel-running environments...

The presence of the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) in adult basal forebrain cholinergic neurons, precursor cells in the subventricular cell layer and the subgranular cell layer of the hippocampus has been linked to alterations in learning as well as anxiety- and depression- related behaviors. In contrast to previous studies performed in a p75NTR(exon III-/-) model still expressing the short...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare the gross and histopathologic changes following 1- versus 2-layer hand-sewn suture techniques in laparoscopic gastrointestinal anastomosis in dogs. METHODS This was an experimental prospective study of 16 healthy mixed breed male and female dogs. Animals were randomly divided into 2 groups. Two-layer side-to-side hand-sewn laparoscopic gast...

We employed a novel mouse line that expresses low levels of human tissue factor (TF) in the absence of murine TF to analyze the role of TF in gestation. Low-TF female mice had a 14-18% incidence of fatal postpartum uterine hemorrhage, suggesting that TF plays an important role in uterine hemostasis. Low-TF female mice mated with low-TF male mice had a 42% incidence of fatal midgestational hemor...

Dichloroacetic acid (DCA) is commonly found in drinking water as a by-product of chlorination disinfection. It is formed from organic material during water chlorination and is considered as a neurotoxicants in rats, dogs, and humans. The objective of the present study is to investigate the histopathological changes in the hippocampus area of the brain after the administration of DCA (125mg/kg b...

Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) of the popliteal artery is a rare vascular disease of unknown etiology in which a mucin-containing cyst develops in the adventitial layer of the artery. We report the case of a 26-year-old male with CAD of the right popliteal artery diagnosed non-invasively with 3 Tesla cardiovascular magnetic resonance and confirmed on post-operative histopathology.

Phlegmonous enteritis is a rare infective inflammatory disease of the intestine, predominantly involving the submucosal layer. It is difficult to diagnose and often fatal. Its association with alcoholism and various liver diseases, although rarely reported, is well documented. We report a case of phlegmonous enteritis in a male patient with congestive heart failure and colon cancer, and describ...
