The, condition' may be regarded as a moinimal form of maldevelopment of the optic cup; grosser forms are known, which result in the formation of the various degrees of congenital cyst of the eye. The other form of congenital ectropion uveae is that in which the two ectodermal pigment layers -remain in contact but come to lie further round on the anterior surface of the iris than usual. This is ...

A total of 30 patients who underwent endoscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament using quadrupled hamstring tendons, through a single drill hole in the femur, had MRI 24 to 28 months after operation. In 18 patients the scans revealed that both the anterior and posterior portions of the graft ran in parallel from the inside of the femoral to the tibial tunnel. In 12, the posterio...

PURPOSE To define a prostate fossa clinical target volume (PF-CTV) for Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) trials using postoperative radiotherapy for prostate cancer. METHODS AND MATERIALS An RTOG-sponsored meeting was held to define an appropriate PF-CTV after radical prostatectomy. Data were presented describing radiographic failure patterns after surgery. Target volumes used in previo...

of the mean FA skeleton with statistically significant positive (yellow voxels) and negative FA changes (blue voxels) in stroke brains (n=5) with respect to control brains (n=4). (1B). Selection of 2D slices with overlays of the mean FA skeleton (green) in different orientations: transversal (top, middle), sagittal (top, right) and coronal (bottom (3x)), showing the same statistically significa...

Wing imaginal disc cells in Drosophila develop by using information received from a signaling center associated with the anterior/posterior compartment border. We show here that disc cells have thin, actin-based extensions (cytonemes) that project to this signaling center. Cytonemes can be induced when cells from the lateral flanks of a wing disc are cultured next to cells from the A/P border o...

background and aims. because of increasing concerns about surgeries in the anterior maxilla, including implant placement, it is necessary to examine the morphology of the nasopalatine canal and its surrounding bones. this study aimed to analyze the shape and position of the nasopalatine canal and incisive foramen using cone-beam computed tomography (cbct). materials and methods. cbct images of ...

BACKGROUND Surgery for clavicular shaft fractures is becoming more common but incisional and chest wall numbness reportedly occurs in 10% to 29% of patients. This may be the result of iatrogenic injury to the supraclavicular nerve branches. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We determined if there was a predictable branching pattern of the supraclavicular nerve at the anterior clavicular border and determine...

Activation of the gap gene hunchback (hb) by the maternal Bicoid gradient is one of the most intensively studied gene regulatory interactions in animal development. Most efforts to understand this process have focused on the classical Bicoid target enhancer located immediately upstream of the P2 promoter. However, hb is also regulated by a recently identified distal shadow enhancer as well as a...

OBJECTIVE To establish the anatomical relationship of the suprascapular nerve (SSN) located in the suprascapular notch, to the medial border of the base of the coracoid process, the acromial joint surface of the acromioclavicular joint and the anterolateral border of the acromion. METHODS We dissected 16 shoulders of 16 cadavers (9 males and 7 females). The distances from the suprascapular ne...
