Introdouction: An exact knowledge of the anatomical variations of the paranasal sinuses (PNS) is critical for surgeons performing endoscopic sinus surgery and for radiologists involved in making preoperative evaluations. An important aspect is the determination of correlation between the anatomical variations of PNS and the presence of chronic rhinosinusitis (CR). Cone-beam computed tomograph...

The biomechanics of the hip joint has been of great interest to researchers and clinicians since the early days of anatomical studies. Julius Wolff addressed the relation between the inner architecture of the bone and the functional loading already in the nineteenth century [31] and Friedrich Pauwels built the foundation for a mechanical approach to understand joint loading 65 years later [24]....

Oxytocin regulates a diverse set of processes including stress, analgesia, metabolism, and social behavior. How such diverse functions are mediated by a single hormonal system is not well understood. Different functions of oxytocin could be mediated by distinct cell groups, yet it is currently unknown whether different oxytocinergic cell types exist that specifically mediate peripheral neuroend...

The research paper demonstrates a comprehensive comparative analysis of the state coniferous plantations in Minsk areas with favourable and predominantly unfavourable ecological situation control trees growing relatively clean territories. morphological-anatomical bilateral (in terms fluctuating asymmetry) patterns needles Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) change were revealed, reflecting severi...

Emergency treatment in the pediatric trauma patient with a pelvic fracture is orientated to the concepts established in adults (59). The main parameters in decision making are the hemodynamic situation and the grade of instability of the pelvis (36). It has to be considered that the child has a longer hemodynamic compensation before a severe shock state results in a potential near fatal situati...

The reconstruction of multiple surgical defects of the nasal pyramid is not a common situation and can be a challenge for the dermatologic surgeon, as the reconstructive techniques are limited. The problem is further compounded when the surgical defects are anatomically independent and cannot be united into a single defect. In such reconstructions, it is essential to take into account the color...

Optical navigation systems are the means of choice to overcome spatial association problems of the endoscopic imaging in minimally invasive surgery. Using optical markers, the patient's real position, his medical imaging data and surgical tool locations are mapped into the same workspace. Such visual-based assistance systems however, suffer from their technical requirements. The BIOPASS project...

urtica dioica l. is an iranian native pharmacological plant for which little attention has been paid to the anatomical structure. medical applications of this plant include diabetes therapy, digestive improvement, anemia and kidney disease therapy. because climatic conditions can affect the anatomical structure which in turn affects pharmacological compositions, research on the anatomy of this ...
