Monthly samples of seven species penaeid shrimps, namely, Penaeus aztecus (Ives, 1891), Penaus hathor (Burkenroad, 1959) japonicus (Spence Bate,1888), kerathurus (Forskal,1775), semisulcatus (De Haan,1844), Metapenaeus monoceros (Fabricus, 1798) and Metapenaeopsis aegyptia (Galil & Golani, 1990) were collected from Antalya Bay in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea March, 2019 through 2020. Except fo...

Fourth branchial pouch anomalies are rare congenital disorders of the neck and are a consequence of abnormal development of the branchial apparatus during embryogenesis. Failure to appropriately recognize these anomalies may result in misdiagnosis, insufficient treatment, and continued recurrence. Here, we present an unique presentation of two cases, describe their diagnosis, clinical course, a...

An 11 years old boy came, with complain of mild dysarthria. Examination revealed marked hemiatrophy of left side of the tongue. Five months back he underwent ipsilateral branchial cyst operation. To our knowledge, no case was reported. After branchial cyst operation if there is any residual remnant chance of recurrence is very high.

purpose: to compare anterior segment and ocular biometric parameters of unaffected fellow eyes of patients with a previous attack of acute angle closure (aac), primary angle closure suspect (pacs) eyes, and normal eyes; and to assess the risk of developing aac in pacs. methods: in this prospective comparative observational case series, 16 unaffected fellow eyes of patients with a previous attac...

purpose: to evaluate changes in anterior chamber (ac) parameters before and one month after nd:yag capsulotomy. methods: a total of 30 eyes from 27 patients with posterior capsule opacification graded 2-4 with surgical history of uneventful phacoemulsification and acrylic foldable iol implantation were included in this study. before capsulotomy and one month later, anterior chamber depth, volum...

Fourth branchial complex anomalies are rare and typically present in neonates or adolescents. Surgical management via open excision is the traditional approach to prevent recurrence. However, endoscopic sinus cauterization has recently been reported as a less invasive alternative. The current case report represents the first published account of a fourth branchial pouch presenting in an adult p...

The diagnosis of a parotid mass usually depends on thorough history taking and physical examination. Diagnostic modalities, including ultrasonographic examinations, computed tomography and magnetic resonance images, may also provide substantial information but their accuracy for diagnosis is sometimes questionable, especially in differentiating some rare neoplasms. First branchial cleft cysts (...

Rainbow trout were infused continuously for 24 h with epinephrine in order to elevate circulating levels to those measured during periods of acute extracellular acidosis (about 5 X 10(-8) mol l-1). Concomitant effects on branchial solute fluxes were evaluated. Epinephrine infusion caused complex and differential adjustments of Na+ and Cl- unidirectional fluxes (influx and efflux) resulting in a...
