this study was focused on the effect of wattle trait on body sizes and scrotal dimensions of traditionally reared wad bucks in the derived savannah environment. data were collected from 153 bucks ranging from 4 months to 2 years of age and this included, scrotal length, scrotal circumference, body weight, height at withers, body length and chest girth. parameters for wattle traits included, wat...

Three new species of Aporcelaimoides from natural habitats in Vietnam are studied, described and illustrated, including line drawings, LM and/or SEM pictures. Aporcelaimoidesbrevistylum sp. n. is characterized by its body 1.95-2.90 mm long, lip region offset by deep constriction and 17-18 µm broad, ventral side of mural odontostyle 11-14 µm long with aperture occupying 62-71% of its length, nec...

BACKGROUND In recent years, endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) has become quite prevalent in Japan. Though little information is available about temporal changes in proximal neck angulation due to the difficulties encountered in measuring the angle. Therefore, we examined temporal changes in proximal neck angulation and its relatio...

INTRODUCTION Many studies have shown that females are more likely to experience neck injury and neck pain, particularly whiplash injuries in rear-end collisions [1, 2]. The intrinsic sex differences in the neck skeleton may be one of the possible reasons for higher incidence in females. Generally, males’ bones are larger than females’, and the skull is one of the most reliable skeletal predicto...

Background: Endovascular approach to the aortic arch is an appealing solution for selected patients. Objective: To compare the technical and clinical success recorded in the different anatomical settings of endografting for aortic arch disease. Methods: Between June 1999 and October 2006, among 178 patients treated at our institution for thoracic aorta disease with a stent-graft, the aortic arc...

Neck stiffness is the most important sign of meningitis. When the neck is flexed, the inflamed nerve roots and meninges of the cervical region get stretched. This causes protective muscle spasm manifesting as neck stiffness. Kernig's sign represents similar phenomena involving the distal spinal cord and related nerves. A manoeuvre that stretches the neural elements of the whole length of the sp...

fourteen different morphological traits in 169 and 131 cattle of oulmes-zaer and tidili, respectively were recorded and analyzed using a multivariate approach. the characters measured included heart girth, wither height, rump height, rump length, rump width, chest depth, body length, neck length, cannon circumference, ear length, ear width, head length, horn length and tail length. breed signif...

We read with great interest the article by Han and colleagues, entitled “Relationship between neck length, sleep, and cardiovascular risk factors,” in which the investigators explored the association of neck length with sleep and cardiovascular risk factors by measuring midline neck length (MNL) and lateral neck length. They showed that a short neck, as measured by the MNL, is probably associat...
