The endemic Rhodanian percid Zingel asper (Linnaeus, 1758), is usually found throughout the Rhône basin, but this fish is now in sharp decline. Understanding its reproductive physiology is important so as to be able to artificially control its reproduction with a view to re-introducing it. This study was carried out on a population obtained by artificial fertilization and bred in external tanks...

-This study examines cell turnover within the lobules of the "resting" human breast and correlates it to the stage of the menstrual cycle. The results are based on the morphological identification of both cell multiplication (mitosis) and cell deletion (apoptosis). It is found that these events undergo significant cyclical changes during the menstrual cycle, with raised levels towards the end o...

The cerebellum is a major motor structure. However, in humans, its efferent topographical organization remains controversial and indirectly inferred from neuroimaging and animal studies. Even central questions such as ‘Can we evoke limb movements by stimulating the cerebellar cortex?’ have no clear answer. To address this issue, we electrically stimulated the posterior cerebellum of 20 human pa...

Histological examination of the breasts of 26 infants and young children who died suddenly between the ages of 3 weeks and 2 years was performed. The glands were composed of well formed lobules surrounded by dense interlobular stroma, while within the lobules there was looser connective tissue. The lobules contained ducts, many of which were dilated and contained secretions. Foci of extramedull...

Converging anatomical and functional evidence suggests that the cerebellum processes both motor and nonmotor information originating from the primary motor cortex and prefrontal cortex, respectively. However, it has not been established whether the cerebellum only processes prefrontal information where rules specify actions or whether the cerebellum processes any form of prefrontal information ...

Abstract Background Positive symptoms of psychosis may be the result faulty coordination and automatization motor higher order cognitive functions, partly due to cerebellar dysfunction. Specifically, auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) have been related altered processing sensory feedback one’s own action. Such alterations highlight role dysfunctional circuitry in psychosis. However, how exact...

We describe an 18 month old girl with acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy, with palpable erythemaous purpuric rash on face, upper and lower limbs and ear lobules associated with edema and leukocytoclastic vasculitis. There were no systemic complications.

The morphology of Chinese fire-bellied newt liver consists of 5 lobes, with exception of a few individual differences present, which are composed by a number of hepatic lobules. Passing through the center of the lobules, a central vein radiates and is arranged in orderly row from one to several layers. The interval of the hepatic cords or masses are irregular and variable sinusoid. The hepatic ...
