OBJECTIVE To develop an interpretation procedure which estimates simulation parameters (tumour cell motility, tumour cell adhesion, autocrine and paracrine growth control, stroma destruction) of simulated patterns solely based on morphometric features of the morphologic pattern. METHODS A cellular automaton computer simulation program was developed which produces morphologic patterns by growt...

The main aims of this research were to study possible differences in objective morphometric sperm characteristics, establish normative sperm morphometry standards, and evaluate the presumed different subpopulation distribution of avian spermatozoa from the rooster (Gallus domesticus ) and Guinea fowl (Numida meleagris ) as model avian species. Seventy-two ejaculates (36 per species studied) wer...

Computer-assisted analysis of endothelial morphology provides useful indices of cell shape and size which appear to correlate to the monolayer's functional status. In this study morphometric data obtained by wide-field specular microscopy of in situ corneal endothelia are compared to data obtained by alizarin red S staining of excised corneas. Both human donor corneas and rabbit corneas were st...

Objectives: Atherosclerosis is the pathology that underlies Coronary artery disease which can be best studied on autopsy. The study aims to evaluate coronary atherosclerosis by means of morphological and morphometric analysis. Study also intends to assess the correlation between morphometric parameters and morphological grades of coronary atherosclerotic lesions. Methodology: Study was carried ...

The Egyptian tortoise Testudo kleinmanni was recently split into two species on the basis of apparent differences in shell morphology and markings. Testudo kleinmanni was restricted to areas west of the Nile river and a new form, T. werneri, was described which occurred east of the Nile river (Perälä, 2001). However, when the morphometric analysis on which this decision was based (Perälä, 2001)...

Two dimensional slope profile morphometric investigation in a part of the land failure prone Garhwal region of the Lesser Himalaya, Tehri district, U. P., India, indicates that the landslip morphology is closely related to the dominant movement processes active in this terrain. Technique developed for the morphometric analysis of landslips involves the use of five morphometric indices. Each ind...

In 65 patients with primary invasive ductal breast carcinoma the relation between classic prognosticators describing the extent of disease (lymph node metastases and tumour size) and newer promising morphometric and DNA flow cytometric prognostic factors was studied. There was no relation between DNA ploidy, lymph node state, and tumour size. Tumours with a mitotic activity index of more than 1...
