It was shown in 1953 by Engelbreth-Holm and Asboe-Hansen (4) that cortisone, injected intraperitoneally, caused a definite reduction in the de velopment of tumors and an increased latent pe riod in albino mice of strain ST/Eh painted once with 9,10-dimethyl-l,2-benzanthracene (DMBA). Similar results were obtained by Boutwell and Rusch (3) with carcinomas induced by benzpyrene. Sulzberger, Herrm...

BACKGROUND Although the connective tissues forming the fascial planes of the back have been hypothesized to play a role in the pathogenesis of chronic low back pain (LBP), there have been no previous studies quantitatively evaluating connective tissue structure in this condition. The goal of this study was to perform an ultrasound-based comparison of perimuscular connective tissue structure in ...

Reported mechanical properties of orbital connective tissue and fat have been too sparse to model strain-stress relationships underlying biomechanical interactions in strabismus. We performed rheological tests to develop a multi-mode upper convected Maxwell (UCM) model of these tissues under shear loading. From 20 fresh bovine orbits, 30 samples of connective tissue were taken from rectus pulle...

background: skin lesions of filarial worms are usually common in livestock. in camels, the most reported species is onchocerca fasciata, which involves subcutaneous connective tissue and the nuchal ligament. objectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and pathology of camel onchocerciasis in iran’s central desert. methods: carcasses of 144 dromedary camels of both sexes ...

this study was performed from february to april 2006; several visits were made to abattoirs in the north of iran for hypoderma spp infestation. necropsy inspection of slaughtered and skinned animals were carried out by examination of the inner skin surface and subcutaneous tissues. warbles were isolated by squeezing nodules from subcutaneous tissues. in the case of abscess presence, aseptic sam...
