endometriosis is a common gynaecological disease that can cause severe pelvic pain such as dysmenorrhoea and dyspareunia, however the mechanisms by which pain is generated are not well understood. nerve fibres in endometriotic plaques have been reported by several authors. we have recently demonstrated the presence of unmyelinated sensory nerve fibres (using the pan-neuronal marker pgp9.5) in t...

PURPOSE To delineate three-dimensionally the anterior and posterior surfaces of the lamina cribrosa, scleral flange, and peripapillary sclera, to determine the position and thickness of these structures within digital three-dimensional (3-D) reconstructions of the monkey optic nerve head (ONH). METHODS The trephinated ONH and peripapillary sclera from both eyes of three monkeys with early gla...

Frey's syndrome and infra-auricular depressed deformities are the ones of the most common complications that can occur after total parotidectomy. We report 1 case of pleomorphic adenoma occurred in the deep lobe that obtained good results from using acellular dermal matrix (ADM) after total parotidectomy. A 24-year-old man visited the hospital with oval shape mass in right mandibular angle whic...

It has been considered that LC maintains the pressure gradient between intraocular pressure (IOP) and the periocular pressure and it structurally supports RGC axons. As LC is structurally weaker than other parts of sclera which are thicker and denser, it is highly sensitive to the effects of the IOP elevation.1,2 LC is a ...

Introduction: Prior qualitative and quantitative studies have reported morphological changes that occur in nerve fibers and non-neuronal cells of peripheral nerve during the lifetime of the rats. Previous studies suggest that Aloe Vera has some beneficial and therapeutic effects such as anti-oxidant effects. In the current study, we have evaluated histological and histomorphometric changes of Sc...

the appropriate time for performing transfers in radial nerve palsy is somewhat a controversial matter. brown suggested that it would be advisable to proceed early with the full component of tandon transfers when there is a questionable or poor prognosis for the nerve repair. for example, when there is a nerve gap of greater than 4 cm or when there is a large wound or extensive scarring or skin...

the occurrence of mast cells is studied in the normal facial nerve and in the facial nerve post mortem exam of patients with chronic suppurative otitis media without associated facial paralysis. a small number of mast cells were found in the normal facial nerve. these cells were usually located in close proximity to the endoneural and epineural blood vessels. the number of mast cells was increa...

A rterial baroreceptors located in the carotid si/ \ nuses and aortic arch play a major role in A. \ control of circulation and regulation of arterial pressure. Increased arterial pressure triggers increased frequency of baroreceptor discharge, which leads to reflex adjustments that buffer the rise in pressure. It is established that baroreceptors are not activated by increases in arterial pres...
