The flexibility of digestive traits characterizes a standard model of physiological flexibility, demonstrating that animals adjust their digestive attributes in order to maximize overall energy return. Using an intraspecific experimental study, we evaluated the amount of flexibility in digestive tract mass and length in individuals from field mouse populations inhabiting semi-arid and temperate...

INTRODUCTION High-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia, also referred to as anal squamous carcinoma in-situ, or Bowen's disease of the anus, make up less than 1% of all digestive system cancers in the United States. The treatment of choice is surgical resection with anal mapping. However, this disease often recurs or persists, requiring additional surgery for these patients. This can compromise...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Demonstrate the endoscopic anatomy of the palatovaginal (PV) canal and artery for identification and dissection of the vidian nerve during endoscopic transpterygoid approaches. Evaluate the length of the PV canal and its relation with the vidian nerve. Show that the traditionally known PV canal is a misnomer and should be renamed. STUDY DESIGN Experimental study: anatomi...

The focus of this international meeting is to correlate advances in the morphologic evaluation and integration of findings in the digestive tract and pancreas with functional, cellular and molecular knowledge in a series of plenary and poster sessions. The meeting will provide a venue for interactive discussion of the current state of knowledge in both conventional and specialized nonclinical s...

Abstract Introduction The present study aims to identify normal high-resolution anorectal manometry (HRAM) values and related factors in healthy Vietnamese adults. Methods cross-sectional was conducted at the Viet Duc hospital, Hanoi, Vietnam, during April May 2019. Healthy volunteers were recruited participate study. Anorectal measurement from digestive tract, including pressure, recorded. Res...

S IXTEEX per cent of the dogfish taken at the laboratory of the Bureau of Fisheries, Woods Hole, Mass., during the summer of 1904, were found to contain lobsters ; 34.17 per cent rock crabs, and 20. I per cent spider crabs. The carapace of these organisms consists of salts and chitin, which is highly resistant to reagents. As the car-apace was found in varying degrees of decomposition, and furt...
