ebstein anomaly is characterized by apical displacement of the septal and posterior tricuspid valve leaflets, leading to atrialization of the right ventricle and could be diagnosed in a routine transthoracic echocardiography exam. we reported a young man with right sided heart failure symptoms who was found to have biventricular failure with suspected apical displacement of septal leaflet of tr...

Extragonadal tissues are known to produce estrogens. At these sites, the C19 precursor is important for aromatase expression for the production of estrogen. Aromatase expression is tissue-specific and is controlled by hormones. Recent studies have shown that rat gastric parietal cells expressed aromatase. Our first objective was to investigate steroidogenic enzyme expression in estrogen biosynt...

The characteristics of mandibular lateral displacement include lateral inclination of the occlusal plane and the differences between the right and left masticatory muscles. The aims of this investigation were to compare the mandibular stress distribution and displacement of the cervical spine using three-dimensional finite element models (3D FEM) to simulate masticatory movements and to clarify...

Successful calving, healthy metabolic functions postpartum and good milk performance in lactation depend highly on the transition period (three weeks before and after calving) of dairy cows where they should be able to manage energy intake and overcome negative energy balance. Subclinical ketosis is one of the metabolic diseases associated with negative energy balance during the transition peri...

BACKGROUND Laterality defects are rare in cattle and usually manifest as asplenia or polysplenia syndrome. These syndromes may be associated with situs ambiguus, which is a dislocation of some but not all internal organs. The objective of this report was to describe the clinical and post-mortem findings including the macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of selected organs in a cow with polysplen...

o bjectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the displacement and stress distri- bution during surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion under different surgical conditions with tooth- and bone-borne devices. materials and methods: three-dimensional (3d) finite element model of a maxilla was constructed and an expansion force of 100 n was applied to the left and right molars and pr...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) is an emerging treatment modality for primary renal cell carcinoma. To account for respiratory-induced target motion, an internal target volume (ITV) concept is often used in treatment planning of SABR. The purpose of this study is to assess patterns of kidney motion and investigate potential surrogates of kidney displacement...

The left-side displacement of the abomasum (DA) or the right-side DA with dilatation and / or torsion is a frequent pathological phenomenon not only due to the increment of animal production, but also to the increase in size of the dairy cow. In the dairy cows’ clinic the pathology’s diagnosis has become a daily routine (Geishauser, 1996, Geishauser et al., 1998). This pathology is responsible ...
