Aneurysms associated with polyarteritis nodosa are common in visceral arteries; however intracranial aneurysms have also been reported and can be associated with central nervous system symptoms, significant m...

Species belonging to different sections of the genus Polygonum L. were studied micro-morphologically. For this purpose, digital images were obtained from all species and lower taxa belonging to sections Persicaria, Bistorta, Tiniaria and Pleuropterus. Since section Polygonum is much diverse, pollens of three representative species Polygonum luzuloides, P. olivascens and P. setosum were photogra...
