Developing kidneys of human and murine fetuses have been stained with monoclonal antibodies to desmosomal proteins 1 and 2 (desmoplakins) (dp 1&2), desmosomal glycoprotein 1 (desmoglein) and a polyclonal antiserum to desmosomal glycoproteins 2 and 3 (desmocollins). All three antibodies stain the mesenchymal condensates that represent the first stage in kidney tubule development, indicating that...

The effective management of temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) requires a thorough understanding of the pathoanatomic factors that drive the underlying condition. After reviewing the etiology associated with TMD in Part 1 of this narrative review, the temporomandibular joint capsule, articular disc and muscles of mastication emerged as key players. (http://dx.doi.org/10.​1016/​j.​jbmt.​2017.​0...

capsules from a range of pathogenic bacteria are the key determinants of virulency. the capsule hasbeen implicated in virulence of pasteurella multocida. in this study a type-specific polymerase chain reaction(pcr) assay was used for capsular typing of 39 avian p. multocida isolates from iran. the pcr amplified afragment of 1044 bp from all of tested isolates. it was found that all avian p. mul...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We analyzed the effect of late intensive inpatient rehabilitation on the functional outcome of patients with subcortical hemorrhagic stroke. METHODS Patients who were nonambulatory with hemorrhagic stroke in the internal capsule and putamen (n=55), the thalamus (n=24), or all 3 regions (n=15) underwent intensive inpatient rehabilitation. Patients with surgical intervent...

The number of larval instars of Simulium (Hemicnetha) rubrithorax Lutz (Diptera: Nematocera) was determined using the lateral length of the head capsule. In this study 1,035 larvae, of different sizes, were measured (639 from the state of Roraima and 396 from the state of Minas Gerais). A frequency distribution analysis was carried out on the measurements of the lateral length of the head capsu...

Capsular contraction is a frequent complication following breast augmentation. On the other hand, capsular weakness, a not widely recognized complication, may occur around the implant. A weak capsule allows the migration of the prosthesis to the lateral region of the thoracic region or inferiorly, towards the abdomen, due to gravitational forces. The cause of capsular weakness remains unresolve...

We present numerical analysis of the lateral movement a deformable spherical capsule in pulsatile channel flow, with Newtonian fluid almost inertialess condition and at small confinement ratio $a_0/R = 0.4$, where $R$ $a$ are radius. find that speed axial migration can be accelerated by flow pulsation specific frequency. The increases oscillatory amplitude, while most effective frequency remain...

Arthroscopic posterior bone block procedure using cortical screws has been reported since 2012 for management of recurrent instability associated with defects. To avoid screw complications, we describe a full arthroscopic technique based on button fixation. With 4 portals (posterior, poster lateral, anterior, and anterolateral), use specific glenoid guiding system (to perform 2 tunnels) buttons...

We investigated the distribution and navigation of periprostatic nerve fibers and constructed a 3-dimensional model of nerve distribution. A total of 5 cadaver specimens were serially sectioned in a transverse direction with 0.5 cm intervals. Hematoxylineosin staining and immunohistochemical staining were then performed on whole-mount sections. Three representative slides from the base, mid-par...

The ventral prefrontal cortex (vPFC) is involved in reinforcement-based learning and is associated with depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and addiction. Neuroimaging is increasingly used to develop models of vPFC connections, to examine white matter (WM) integrity, and to target surgical interventions, including deep brain stimulation. We used primate (Macaca nemestrina/Macaca fascicul...
