Though baboons have been considered an appropriate non-human primate model for studying human reproductive and endocrine development. the overall similarity of reproductive maturation between the two species is unclear. This paper examines the role of testicular and adrenal hormones for pubertal changes in a cross-sectional sample of 21 captive male savanna baboons. Morphometric and hormonal in...

Morphometric characters of the adult males of the Tai-Phake and the nature and extent of morphometric variation among five neighboring mongoloid groups of Assam have been examined in the present study. For the sake of investigation 12 anthropometric measurements have been taken and five indices have been calculated. In order to obtain the distance values size, shape and biological distance are ...

BACKGROUND In this study, we examined the comparative histopathology, morphometry, and risk factors for the development of intimal hyperplasia and atherosclerosis in the radial artery (RA) and the internal thoracic artery (ITA). METHODS AND RESULTS Paired specimens of RAs and ITAs, obtained from 150 patients who underwent CABG, were evaluated with histopathology; 110 pairs of arteries were su...

AIM The objective of this study was to investigate the chromosomal profile of indigenous pigs by computing morphometric measurements. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cytogenetic study was carried out in 60 indigenous pigs to analyze the chromosomal profile by employing the short term peripheral blood lymphocyte culture technique. RESULTS The modal chromosome number (2n) in indigenous pigs was found...

The pattern of brain atrophy helps to discriminate normal age-related changes from neurodegenerative diseases. Albeit indices of regional brain atrophy have proven to be a parameter useful in the early diagnosis and differential diagnosis of some neurodegenerative diseases, indices of absolute regional atrophy still have some important limitations. We propose using indices of relative atrophy f...

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 identification of areas that are prone to landslides is essential in mitigating associated risks. This usually achieved using landslide susceptibility models, which estimate likelihood given local terrain conditions and the location known past events. Detailed databases covering different conditioning factors paramount producing reliable maps. However, thematic data from developing countrie...
