OBJECTIVE To establish the frequency of 82 morphological features in a sample of Brazilian children (between 3 and 13 years old), to understand the influence of age, gender, and ethnicity. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study that evaluated 239 children with typical development (between 3 and 13 years old) regarding the presence of 82 morphological characteristics. A previously described ...

although the biokinetics, metabolism, and chemical toxicity of atorvastatin calcium are well known, until recently little attention was paid to the potential toxic effects of atorvastatin calcium on re-production and development in mammals. in recent years, it has been shown that atorvastatin calcium is a developmental toxicant when given orally or subcutaneously (sc) to mice. decreased fertili...

Purpose: Morphological dental anomalies of the maxillary lateral incisors are relatively common. However, their simultaneous occurrence is a relatively rare event. We report a case of dens invaginatus and talon cusp concurrently affecting maxillary lateral incisors. The etiology, pathophysiology, association with other dental anomalies, as well as various treatment modalities of these anomalies...

Caecilians (Gymnophiona) are commonly known as limbless amphibians and the least understood vertebrate order. In this paper, we documented skin color, eye, jaw, snout, tentacular aperture cloacal anomalies in 12 individuals of four species belonging to three caecilian genera Ichthyophis , Uraeotyphlus Gegeneophis collected from hotspots diversity India, Western Ghats Northeast India. As found m...

Objective: To investigate the morphological structure and variation of thyroid gland in fetuses. Formalin fixed 40 aborted fetuses from 16weeks -36 weeks of gestational age were dissected to study the morphology of fetal thyroid glands. Crown -Rump length, and weight of the fetus along with fetal thyroid morphological and morphometric parameters were recorded. We observed the broader right lobe...

Aim Dental anomalies in shape and number may be present isolated or associated with other manifestations. In anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia they occur more frequently and severely. The authors examined a group of children with similar dental anomalies but no other ectodermal or extra-ectodermal signs. Methods This study makes a comparative evaluation of similarities and differences of dental a...

INTRODUCTION Despite its high incidence and severe morbidity, the physiopathogenesis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is still unknown. Here, we looked for early anomalies in AIS which are likely to be the cause of spinal deformity and could also be targeted by early treatments. We focused on the vestibular system, which is suspected of acting in AIS pathogenesis and which exhibits an e...
