Anterior segment dysgenesis syndrome is an inherited ocular defect in Rocky Mountain Horses. The disease is Mendelian with semidominant inheritance. Heterozygous animals have ciliary cysts, and homozygous animals have complex anterior segment dysgenesis.

The management of bone loss associated with anterior shoulder instability remains a challenge. Contemporary goals for treatment include stable reduction, prevention of redislocation, restoration of motion and strength, and an early return to functional activities. Current reconstructive procedures address restoration of the functional integrity of the anterior capsulolabral complex as well as b...

Aneurysms of the complex of the anterior cerebral artery are frequently associated with anatomic variations of the circle of Willis. We describe a case of aneurysmal rupture of the anterior communicating artery, a variant of the anterior cerebral artery. The aneurysm appeared to be situated on this vessel proximal to the infered site of the AcoA. Surgery was performed at the 6th day after hemor...

AIM To measure the linear cephalometric dimensions of anterior and posterior segments of the craniofacial complex sagittally, to establish ratios between different linear dimensions of sagittal segments and check for dimensional balance among the various segments in subjects with normal occlusion, pleasing profile and facial harmony. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION Department of Orthodontics, S...

this report presents a case of severe intrusive luxation of multiple anterior teeth in an 11-yearold girl. the teeth were repositioned successfully by endodontic and orthodontic management. the case was monitored for 7 years. depending on the severity of the injury, different clinical approaches for treatment of intrusive luxation may be used. despite the variety of treatment modalities, rehabi...

Studies of prefrontal cortex (PFC) lesion patients suggest that information conveying high immediacy, certainty, or tangibility engages the more posterior part of the PFC, whereas information that is more abstract or complex engages the anterior part. We examined whether the anterior and posterior subdivisions of the PFC have distinct roles in processing temporal information during decision mak...

Recent studies have used fMRI signals from early visual areas to reconstruct simple geometric patterns. Here, we demonstrate a new Bayesian decoder that uses fMRI signals from early and anterior visual areas to reconstruct complex natural images. Our decoder combines three elements: a structural encoding model that characterizes responses in early visual areas, a semantic encoding model that ch...

The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that myofascial force transmission may not be limited by compartmental boundaries of a muscle group to synergists. Muscles of the anterior tibial compartment in rat hindlimb as well as of the neighbouring peroneal compartment (antagonistic muscles) were excited maximally. Length-force data, based on proximal lengthening, of EDL, as wel...

During development of the anterior eye segment, cells that originate from the surface epithelium or the neuroepithelium need to interact with mesenchymal cells, which predominantly originate from the neural crest. Failures of proper interaction result in a complex of developmental disorders such Peters' anomaly, Axenfeld-Rieger's syndrome or aniridia. Here we review the role of transcription fa...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to use the modified Sihler's staining technique to demonstrate detailed distribution of the rat anterior abdominal wall nerves and test the value of Sihler's technique in demonstrating such a complex muscle-nerve relationship. MATERIALS AND METHODS The anterior abdominal walls of 5 Wistar rats were isolated by making a deep incision from the costal arch...
