The paratesticular region is a relatively small anatomical compartment containing a disproportionately large number of anatomic structures. In addition to the testicular collecting system there are mesothelial and mesenchymal components representing extensions of the abdominal cavity and retroperitoneum. The epithelial, mesothelial, and connective tissue elements give rise to a wide variety of ...

Polypterus,a model animal for studying tetrapod evolution The evolutionary transition from aquatic vertebrates to terrestrial tetrapods occurred around 370 million years ago in the late Devonian period. What changes in genome function caused such evolution and led to the development of new organ remains uncertain. We have been investigating the evolution of the tetrapod body plan using a primit...

In adult terrestrial heterothermic vertebrates, spontaneous or experimentally induced plasticity of the brain is widely demonstrated. This phenomenon is more pronounced in Amphibians than in lacertilians, the most investigated among the Reptiles. In the lizard it has been observed that the summer photoperiod and temperature exert a positive influence on the proliferative activity of cerebral pu...

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of two different resistance training programs on lower limb explosive and reactive strength in young female athletes. Fifty seven rhythmic gymnasts were randomly assigned to unspecific resistance training with dumbbells (12 repetition maximum squats) (n=19; age=12.0±1.8 years) or to specific resistance training with weighted belts (6% of ...
