BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that alendronate can increase bone mineral density (BMD) and prevent radiographically defined (morphometric) vertebral fractures. The Fracture Intervention Trial aimed to investigate the effect of alendronate on the risk of morphometric as well as clinically evident fractures in postmenopausal women with low bone mass. METHODS Women aged 55-81 with low f...

BACKGROUND The purposes of the present study were morphometric characterization of rostellar hooks of Taenia multiceps and to investigate the association of hook length variation and the variability within two mitochondrial genes of sheep isolates of the parasite. METHODS Up to 4500 sheep brains were examined for the presence of C. cerebralis. Biometric characters based on the larval rostella...

The aim of the current study was to analyse the relationship between morphology of gilt’s ovary and the quantity and quality of recovered oocytes suitable for in vitro procedures. Forty ovaries of healthy 7–8 months old gilts from a local slaughterhouse divided into corpora lutea bearing (CL) and noncorpora lutea bearing (non-CL) ovaries were evaluated. Morphometric analysis (weight, length and...

The pseudoscorpions Chthonius (Chthonius) carinthiacus Beier, 1951 and Chthonius (Ephippiochthonius) tuberculatus Hadži, 1937, are recorded for the first time from Slovakia. An illustrated description of these species is provided based on their morphological and morphometric characters. The descriptions of the species offer an update on the variability of their morphological and morphometric ch...

Seagrass beds in the waters of Barrang Lompo Island and Kodingareng have their own characteristics, especially for type Thalassia hemprichii. The purpose this study was to determine morphometric characteristics seagrass hemprichii environmental conditions on Island. This research conducted June-July 2022 method used purposive sampling. Morphometrics at station 1 average leaf length 10.88 cm, wi...

AIM The aim was to estimate genetic and non-genetic factors affecting morphometric traits of Sirohi goats under field condition. MATERIALS AND METHODS The detailed information of all animals on body measurements at birth, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of age was collected from farmer's flock under field condition born during 2007-2013 to analyze the effect of genetic and non-genetic factors. The lea...

OBJECTIVE To report the morphometric characteristics of ultrastructure inside A549 cells. METHODS A549 cells were processed for inverted microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Cell images were obtained randomly using inverted microscopy and TEM. The morphometric parameters of ultrastructure were tested using precise morphometric techniques by Image-Pro Plus analysis software. ...

Knowledge of the relationship between structure and function of the normal pulmonary arterial tree is necessary for understanding normal pulmonary hemodynamics and the functional consequences of the vascular remodeling that accompanies pulmonary vascular diseases. In an effort to provide a means for relating the measurable vascular geometry and vessel mechanics data to the mean pressure-flow re...

Studies of the temporal pole (TP) in schizophrenia patients are not consistent. The aim of this study was to investigate morphometric anomalies of the TP in first-episode schizophrenia patients. Patients did not significantly differ from controls in the TP morphometric variables evaluated. Clinical variables were not significantly related to the TP.

UNLABELLED Asymptomatic mouth floor enlargements may be observed in edentulous patients. These masses, which protrude from the mouth floor, may complicate the fitting of dentures and require surgery. Whether this "entity" may be considered an anatomical variation of the mouth floor or represent specific alterations in the sublingual gland is not known. OBJECTIVE The aim of this work is to inv...
