This research analyzed the morphological/morphometric parameters of relief and drainage network Formiga River subbasin, southern Minas Gerais State, Brazil. study identified examined influences control mechanisms in development current configurations. The methodology was based on application indices parameters: (1) slope length (Hack's Sl); (2) normalized index (ksn); (3) river hierarchy; (4) d...

The morphology of synapses is of central interest in neuroscience because of the intimate relation with synaptic efficacy. Two decades of gene manipulation studies in different animal models have revealed a repertoire of molecules that contribute to synapse development. However, since such studies often assessed only one, or at best a few, morphological features at a given synapse, it remained ...

In the present study, we sought to determine the predictive value of selective nuclear morphometry (SNM) for patient outcome in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Tumor samples of 140 renal adenocarcinomas diagnosed and treated with radical nephrectomy and hilar lymphadenectomy between 1970 and 1988 with a minimum follow up of 5 years in all the cases were studied by SNM. The morphometric analysis was...

Despite being inside a protected area, Lake Sumidouro has been impacted by the anthropogenic occupation of the surrounding area since the 1970's, compromising the ecological integrity of the lake and the sustainable use of natural resources. This study examined the current trophic classification of the lake and developed methods for improving it through an integrated analysis of morphometric an...

Methods A total of 123 patients who had baseline whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT scans and underwent NACT followed by surgery for oesophageal cancer were included. Morphometric parameters including skeletal muscle density (SMD), skeletal muscle index, FM, FFM, FMR, VA/SA were measured and were correlated to clinical parameters, surgical findings and pathological chemotherapy response. The factors con...
