spindle cell neoplasms are defined as neoplasms that consist of spindle-shaped cells in the histopathology. spindle cell neoplasms can affect the oral cavity. in the oral cavity, the origin of the spindle cell neoplasms may be traced to epithelial, mesenchymal and odontogenic components. this article aims to review the spindle cell neoplasms of the oral cavity with emphasis on histopathology.  ...

Introduction There is ample evidence that the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) has a sensory function. Previous studies reported that afferent feedback from ACL contributed to increased tone of the muscles around the knee. However, it is unlikely that afferent feedback from ACL directly alter a motor neuron (MN); afferents from ACL could influence a motor neuron (MN) via the ? loop. Therefore, ...

The regulation of chromosome separation during mitosis is not fully understood yet. Microtubules forming mitotic spindles are targets of treatment strategies which are aimed at (i) the triggering of the apoptosis or (ii) the interruption of uncontrolled cell division. Despite these facts, only few physical models relating to the dynamics of mitotic spindles exist up to now. In this paper, we pr...

As muscle spindles are involved in the sensation of position and movement of the body, we tested their involvement in the pathophysiology of idiopathic focal dystonia. Twenty patients with torticollis, nine with writer's cramp, two with blepharospasm and 16 healthy control subjects participated. In the first task, the blindfolded subject matched the position of the passively moved forearm with ...

Background: In vitro maturation can have deleterious effects on spindle formation and proper chromosome alignment in human oocytes and can be profoundly affected by culture conditions. This study compared the spindle presence and location with the maturation rate Abstracts of the 12th Royan International Congress on Reproductive Biomedicine 3 1 International Journal of Fertility & Sterility (IJ...

Our sense of body position and movement independent of vision (i.e., proprioception) relies on muscle spindle feedback and is vital for performing motor acts. In this study, we first sought to elucidate age-related differences in the central processing of proprioceptive information by stimulating foot muscle spindles and by measuring neural activation with functional magnetic resonance imaging....

Self-excited vibration of the tool, regenerative chatter, can be predicted and eliminated if the stability lobe diagram of the spindle–holder–tool assembly is known. Regardless of the approach being used, analytically or numerically, forming the stability lobe diagram of an assembly implies knowing the point frequency response function (FRF) in receptance form at the tool tip. In this paper, it...

Regenerative chatter is a well-known machining problem that results in unstable cutting process, poor surface quality and reduced material removal rate. This undesired self-excited vibration problem is one of the main obstacles in utilizing the total capacity of a machine tool in production. In order to obtain a chatter-free process on a machining center, stability diagrams can be used. Numeric...
