Purpose Elastic light backscattering spectroscopy (ELBS) has exquisite sensitivity to the ultrastructural properties of tissue and thus has been applied to detect various diseases associated with ultrastructural alterations in their early stages. This study aims to test whether ELBS can detect early damage in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Methods We used a mouse model of partial optic nerve ...

Postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) is a disease of pigs first recognised in North America in 1991 and subsequently reported worldwide that is caused by Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2), a member of the family Circoviridae. The most consistent feature of PMWS is a generalized depletion of lymphocytes. Secondary infections with opportunistic organisms are common. There is evidence that ...

ABSTRACT Pygocentrus nattereri is a carnivorous fish widely distributed in the Brazilian wetland and occupies different river strata. Based on sexual maturity, standard length (SL) has been used to categorize age physiological attributes. However, hematological parameters their relationship with growth features are unknow. Here, aim was evaluate profile leukocyte data of juvenile adult specimen...

Background: Non-communicable diseases are often associated with chronic inflammation, placing patients suffering from these conditions at a higher risk of thrombosis and other complications. The pathophysiology asthma and/or atopic is also linked to which consequently may alter blood parameters including erythrocyte structure function. Methodology: objective this study was evaluate differences ...

Background and Objective: Sciatic nerve transection is characterized by a rapid wave of motoneuron death associated with progressive synaptic lesions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long term synaptic changes. Materials and Methods: This basic study was carried out on paraffin- or resin-em...

Abstract Phosphate-shelled brachiopods differ in filter-feeding lifestyle, with Lingula anatina an active infaunal burrower, and Discinisca tenuis a shallow marine epibenthic animal. The shells of these animals are built organophosphatic constituents, the organic fibres/sheets reinforced calcium phosphate to provide sophisticated ultrastructural robustness. This investigation examined nature fi...

HIGHLIGHTS Peanut shell waste is an alternative adsorbent for the removal dyes. Ultrastructural visualization of peanut fiber structure shell, multi-layers and many linkages among fibers which could create to various pores with different sizes. The best eosin Y percentage had 87.7% in 25 g L-1 at 30 minute.

Inclusion body myositis is a rare myopathy that clinically resembles a chronic polymyositis and histopathologically is characterized by the presence of rimmed vacuoles containing ultrastructural cytoplasmic degradation products with filamentous intranuclear and cytoplasmic inclusions. Since clinical features are not uniform, histopathologic and ultrastructural studies are necessary to confirm t...

(Ultrastructural analysis of in vitro direct and indirect organogenesis). This is a comparative study of the ultrastructural characteristics of the cells involved in the organogenesis in vitro of Bauhinia forficata Link (indirect system) and Glycine max (L.) Merrill (direct system). B. forficata calli after 30 days culture and G. max meristemoids after 10 days culture were prepared for ultrastr...
