The purpose of this study was to determine the anatomic parameters of the kidney in adults. The Renal lengths, width at superior and inferior poles, thickness at the superior and inferior poles were measured in 151 adult cadaver kidneys. A digital vernier caliper was used for performing the measurements. The data were statistically analyzed. The mean renal length was 8.9 ± 0.9 cm on the right s...

There is much evidence about importance of angiogenesis in development and progression of solid tumors. The role of angiogenesis, as an indicator of higher malignant potential in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, is not clear at the moment. Morphometric characteristics of microvessels in lymph node sections, in previously untreated patients with small lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia (SL...

Introduction: In scapula, the acromion process projects forwards almost at right angles from the lateral end of the spine. The coracoacromian ligament spans between tip of acromian and coracoid process thus it forms coraco-acromial arch. The space below the arch gives passage to the tendons of muscles forming musculorotator cuff. As morphometry of the acromion process of the scapula is an impor...

In a retrospective study on cytological specimens from 17 dogs with histologically confirmed cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, the morphometric variables were studied and compared to metastases in regional lymph nodes. The morphometric parameters evaluated in this study were mean nuclear area (MNA, μm), mean nuclear perimeter (MNP, μm), mean nuclear diameter (D mean, μm), minimum nuclear diame...

Abstract This paper presents a robust approach using artificial neural networks in the form of a Self Organizing Map (SOM) as a semi-automatic method for analysis and identification of morphometric features in two completely different environments, the Man and Biosphere Reserve “Eastern Carpathians” (Central Europe) in a complex mountainous humid area and Yardangs in Lut Desert, Iran, a hyper...

Development and interpretation of morphometric maps are important tools in studies related to neotectonics and geomorphology; Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allows speed and precision to this process, but applied methodology will vary according to available tools and degree of knowledge of each researcher about involved software. A methodology to integrate GIS and statistics in morphometr...
