During slow-wave sleep, anterior piriform cortex neurons show highly synchronized discharges that accompany olfactory cortex sharp waves (OC-SPWs). The OC-SPW-related synchronized activity of anterior piriform cortex neurons travel down to the olfactory bulb and is thought to be involved in the reorganization of bulbar neuronal circuitry. However, influences of the OC-SPW-related activity on ot...

BACKGROUND Lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL) reconstruction requires proper understanding and identification of anatomic structures about the lateral elbow. The insertion site of the LUCL is based on the supinator tubercle. PURPOSE To characterize the supinator tubercle relative to other surrounding anatomic landmarks. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive laboratory study. METHODS Computed tom...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE Although Zuckerkandl's tubercle is not known by many head and neck surgeons, it is a fundamental surgical anatomical detail, already described in the nineteenth century. Its detection is of great importance as the reference in the search for the recurrent nerve and superior parathyroid gland. MATERIAL AND METHOD We designed a prospective study to analyse the postero...

External genital development begins with formation of paired genital swellings, which develop into the genital tubercle. Proximodistal outgrowth and axial patterning of the genital tubercle are coordinated to give rise to the penis or clitoris. The genital tubercle consists of lateral plate mesoderm, surface ectoderm, and endodermal urethral epithelium derived from the urogenital sinus. We have...

The question of the frequency ot tubercle in India, especially in Bengal, has lately attracted considerable attention. It was formerly thought that tubercle was an uncommon disease in India, but this idea has long been found to be in| correct. It is now admitted that, in Bengal at least, tubercle is a common cause of death. When serving as Civil Surgeon of t le 2 Parganas, ten years ago, I was ...

The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence and anatomical variations posterolateral tubercle talus in relation sex on CT imaging. A total 1478 ankle scans retrospectively reviewed for different variants talus, type size os trigonum. Normal sized lateral found 46.1 %, an enlarged (Stiedaâ??s process) 26.1 trigonum 20.5 % almost absent 7.3 %. statistically higher Stiedaâ??s process male...

Fiberoptic bronchoscopy was performed in 30 cases of suspected pulmonary tuberculosis. Sputum was negative for tubercle bacilli in all the patients, but in specimens obtained at bronchoscopy tubercle bacilli were found in 86.6%. By postbronchoscopy sputum smear examination tubercle bacilli were detected in 73.3% of the cases.
