Background: Histological and histometrical effects of Fennel Essential Oil (FEO) on ovary structure were studied during postnatal development in female wistar rats. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, the female rats, after parturition divided in control, sham and experimental groups with equal number of female pups for each mother at random. Sham 1 and experimental 1 groups consisted of m...

The purpose of this investigation was to localize and characterize white blood cell populations in the human ovary through its physiological life cycle. Ovaries from 30 women of reproductive age and from three post-menopausal women were embedded in paraffin or frozen. Clinical information and pathology review were used to obtain accurate menstrual cycle information and to ensure the absence of ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of transcatheter radiofrequency-assisted valve dilatation for infants with pulmonary valve atresia and intact ventricular septum as an alternative to the use of laser heated wires. DESIGN Prospective clinical study. SETTING Three paediatric cardiology centres. PATIENTS Four children (aged 5-101 days, weight 2.8 kg) with pulmonary valve atre...

BACKGROUND We present unique case of a giant extracranial atretic occipital lipoencephalocele in an adult patient with new bone formation within it which was not associated with any developmental malformation of brain. Resection of the lipoencephalocele was performed for esthetic reasons. CASE REPORT 18 year old female patient presented to the surgery OPD with complains of a large mass in the...

objective: in vitro ovarian follicle culture provides a tool to investigate folliculogenesis and may be used as an assisted reproductive technology )art(. this study aims to compare survival and development rates in mouse ovarian follicles after two and three dimensional in vitro cultures. methods: preantral follicles were isolated from the ovaries of 14-day old female mice and cultured in α-m...

Follicular populations were investigated in female F344/N rats to better understand the aging process of the rat ovary. Ovaries dissected at various ages (spanning 1-36 months old) were submitted for histological examination. The total number of primordial, growing (primary and secondary), tertiary, and atretic follicles as well as corpora lutea (CL) were counted in hematoxylin-eosin- and azoca...
