There are two phases of fore-stomach development during the first 200 days of pouch life in tammar wallaby. For the first 170 days, the mucosa displays an immature gastric glandular phenotype that changes to a cardia glandular phenotype, which remains for the rest of the animal's life. During this 200-day period after birth, the pouch young (PY) is dependent on maternal milk, which progressivel...

There are many surgical techniques for treating gynecomastia. We report a new surgical technique in an adolescent with fatty glandular gynecomastia grade III, who was referred from an endocrinologist to our clinic. We excised the gynecomastia with nipple repositioning utilizing the dermoglandular flap (about 1 cm thickness and 10 cm width). After one month, no complication was detected and the ...

Membrane trafficking and cytoskeletal dynamics are important cellular processes that drive tip growth in root hairs. These processes interact with a multitude of signaling pathways that allow for the efficient transfer of information to specify the direction in which tip growth occurs. Here, we show that AGD1, a class I ADP ribosylation factor GTPase-activating protein, is important for maintai...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Salvia divinorum produces several closely related neoclerodane diterpenes. The most abundant of these, salvinorin A, is responsible for the psychoactive properties of the plant. To determine where these compounds occur in the plant, various organs, tissues and glandular secretions were chemically analysed. A microscopic survey of the S. divinorum plant was performed to exami...

Objectives:1-To determine the Positive Predictive Value(PPV) of ?glandularNeoplasia and borderline nuclear changes in glandularcells by comparing and correlating the cytology andhistological reports. 2Compare the Positive Predictive Value(PPV) to other recent studies inLiterature. Design: Retrospective review Method: Review of the cytology and histology reports via elect...

A methodology for patient-oriented calculations of mean glandular dose (MGD) is introduced in this study. The method takes into consideration the influence of the glandular tissue distribution in the MGD. The glandular tissue information was estimated from conventional mammography images using breast density assessment software followed by the Mammography-Image Based (MIB) method presented in t...

A new area operator was proposed to extract axes feature of hair impurity in mushroom semiproduct images. This operator was based on the local intensity comparison, and it had two advantages: 1) its outputs reached local maxima at the hair axes; 2) the accurate direction information of the hair axes could be derived by it. After the axes feature of the hairs was extracted using the proposed ope...
