The dura mater is the outermost and most substantial meningial layer of central nervous system (CNS) tissue that acts as a protective membrane for the brain and spinal cord. In animal models of traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury, mechanical insults are often delivered directly to the dura to injure the underlying tissue. As such, including a description of the mechanical properties o...

Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the dentomaxillofacial radiographic changes in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients who were on hemodialysis. Methods: Parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) measurements, as well as Panoramic and periapical radiographs were obtained from seventy four patients with a history of end stage renal disease (ESRD). Re...

Introduction The external membrane which invests the brain is called the cranial dura mater. It consists of a periosteal layer, which is rich in blood and lymphatic vessels and nerves, and an inner layer named the meningeal layer. At certain places the periosteal and meningeal layers are separated to form the dural venous sinuses. This is the typical description of the cranial dura mater [1–15]...

BACKGROUND The membranous structure of vestibular schwannoma is an important factor in its surgical treatment. Herein, we report intraoperative and microscopic findings relating to an outermost dura-like membrane in cases of vestibular schwannoma and the importance of these findings. METHODS Intraoperative findings of 16 cases of vestibular schwannoma treated with an initial surgery were stud...

A ease is reported of large intracranial plasmacytoma arising from the dura mater and involving the dura of the left cerebral convexity. tentorium eerebelli and the dura of the posterior

Abstract The utilization of oil palm shell (OPS) in concrete dates back since four decades ago. While most research has only been done on the Dura-OPS as coarse aggregate concrete, few Tenera-OPS. Tenera-OPS is obtained by a hybrid crossbreeding between Dura and Pisifera type fruits to obtain thinner fruit produce 30% more oil. different physical properties compared Dura-OPS, which could alter ...
