The aim of the study was a morphometrical macroscopic evaluation of senile larynges, according to its usefulness in ORL diagnostic and operational methods. Larynx preparations were taken from cadavers of both sexes, of age 65 and over, about 24 hours after death. Clinically important laryngeal diameters were collected using common morphometrical methods. A few body features were also being gath...

Ejaculates (n=344) were collected from 35 Polish Landrace boars. The ejaculates were assigned to one of four groups according to the total number of spermatozoa in an ejaculate. Morphometrical measurements of spermatozoa with proper morphology were performed. Spermatozoa with smaller head length and head area were found in ejaculates with the greatest total sperm number (more than 120 x 10(9) s...

Introduction: Studying the position of mental foramen and its morphological variations help to localize the mental nerve and thus prevent complications during surgical procedures. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in 40 dry adult human mandibles in the department of anatomy, Teerthanker Mahaveer Medical College and Research Center. Parameters like incidence, position, direction, s...

The objective of this study was to investigate development of the weight and the morphological development of the rectum in broiler chickens. Twenty broiler chickens (Ross 308) were used in this experiment and they were 12, 20, 35 and 44 days of age. Samples from the rectum of chicks were sectioned in an unbiased manner and examined quantitatively using stereology. In addition, the weight of bo...

PURPOSE To describe the changes in rat retina occurring with ageing by means of histological methods, scanning electron microscopic observations and morphometrical data; and to study by means of biochemical methods the amount of protein content in retinal tissues. METHODS Samples of fresh retinal tissue obtained from young, adult, and aged rats were studied by means of traditional histologica...

Introduction/Objective. Olecranon aperture is a variable opening in the septum between olecranon and coronoid fossae. Its frequency varies largely different populations knowledge of its presence may have clinical implications. The objective our study was to determine prevalence sample Serbian population investigate morphology morphometrical features, as well relation distal end humerus. Methods...

OBJECTIVE This study attempts to evaluate the GFAP and alpha1a-AR staining and morphometrical nuclear features of oligodendrogliomas and their prognostic implications as compared to present histopathology classification and their survival outcome. STUDY DESIGN Surgical specimens from 24 patients with oligodendrogliomas during the period 1981-2000 were included. These cases were classified int...

BACKGROUND The grade of dysplasia found in Barrett's oesophagus surveillance biopsies is a major factor to determine follow up and treatment. However, it has been reported that the reproducibility of the grading system is not optimal. AIMS To compare routine and expert dysplasia grades in Barrett's oesophagus surveillance biopsies. To evaluate prospectively morphometrical grading support and ...
