BACKGROUND Published data regarding the structure of the quadriceps tendon are diverse. Dissection of the quadriceps muscle group revealed that beside the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius and vastus medialis a fifth muscle component- named the tensor vastus intermedius consistently fused into quadriceps tendon. It can be hypothesized that all these elements of the extensor a...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to check opportunities of early caries detection in primary dentition by using new portable device--KaVo Diagnodent. Values of Diagnodent were interpreted by Hibst and Paulus scale. It was also decided to check if this scale is useful for detecting caries in milk teeth. In this study a new author's scale was used. Values of Diagnodent were also interpreted...

A punch biopsy of the axillary region was performed for histopathological study, staining with hematoxylin-eosin (Figure 2), periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), and Congo red. The histological findings included papillomatosis, orthokeratotic hyperkeratosis and epidermal acanthosis, focal atrophy of the granular layer, and mild hyperpigmentation of the basal layer of the epidermis. There was a moderate ...

Two experiments examined the role of relational language on analogical transfer. Participants were taught Signal Detection Theory (SDT) embedded in a doctor story. In the experimental condition, relational words accompanied the story. Relational words that shared superficial similarity with the contextual elements facilitated transfer. Without the shared semantics, relational words were detrime...
