Objectives: Due to the continuous development of invasive dental procedures, presently we encounter a permanent growing of medical complications, like protrusion of foreign bodies into the maxillary sinus during therapeutic maneuvers on the superior dental arch. Plus that we can find neglected foreign bodies in the maxillary sinuses after ENT surgical procedures. With this clinical study we eva...

In this work, the presence and distribution of serotonin in the cyprid of the barnacle Balanus amphitrite were investigated by immunohistochemical methods. Serotonin-like immuno-reactive neuronal cell bodies were detected in the central nervous system only. Various clusters of immunoreactive neuronal cell bodies are distributed in the brain (protocerebrum, deutocerebrum, optical lobes), and at ...

Hirano bodies are eosinophilic rod-like inclusions that are found predominantly in neuronal processes in the hippocampal CA1 sector with increasing age and are particularly numerous in Alzheimer's disease. They contain a variety of cytoskeletal epitopes, especially actin and actin-binding proteins. Actin cleavage by cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteases (caspases) is a feature of apoptosis. Cl...

Here we provide data on accessibility of nucleolus-like bodies (NLBs) of fully-grown (GV) mouse oocytes to fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probes and anti-nucleolar antibodies as well as on oocyte general morphology and large scale chromatin configuration, which relate to the research article "High-resolution microscopy of active ribosomal genes and key members of the rRNA processing ...

Common organic materials like thorns, wood and sand constitute routine accident scene flora and comprise a large percentage of foreign bodies. These low radiopaque foreign bodies present a diagnostic challenge and are routinely missed. In musculoskeletal injuries, failure to detect these foreign bodies may lead to infection, morbidity and patient dissatisfaction. A universal investigation proto...

Studies were conducted to determine if the expression of the gene for retinol-binding protein (RBP) and/or transthyretin (TTR) could be induced upon differentiation of F9 teratocarcinoma cells to either visceral endoderm or parietal endoderm. Both TTR mRNA and RBP mRNA were undetectable in the undifferentiated F9 stem cells and in F9 cells differentiated to parietal endoderm. However, TTR mRNA ...

We present the results of a wide-field survey for distant Sedna-like bodies in the outer solar system using the 1.2-m Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory. We searched ∼12,000 square degrees down to a mean limiting magnitude of 21.3 in R. A total number of 53 Kuiper belt objects and Centaurs have been detected; 25 of which were discovered in this survey. No additional Sedna-like bodie...

When cartilage-like tissue is present in the synovial membrane of joints, it known as chondromatosis (SC). The main cause believed to be metaplasia embryonal mesenchymal membrane. metaplastic foci grow within joint space and can detach from wall, forming free-floating bodies. While SC more commonly associated with trauma temporomandibular (TMJ), exact relationship between remains unclear. Impro...

The neuronal perikarya of the grasshopper contain sudanophilic lipochondria which exhibit an affinity for vital dyes. These lipochondria are membrane-delimited and display acid phosphatase activity; hence they correspond to lysosomes. Unlike those of most vertebrates, these lysosomes also hydrolyze thiamine pyrophosphate and adenosine triphosphate. Like vertebrate lysosomal "dense bodies," they...
