This work evaluates sperm head morphometric characteristics in adolescents from 12 to 18 years of age, and the effect of varicocele. Volunteers between 150 and 224 months of age (mean 191, n = 87), who had reached oigarche by 12 years old, were recruited in the area of Barranquilla, Colombia. Morphometric analysis of sperm heads was performed with principal component (PC) and discriminant analy...

today, environmental crisis and loss of natural resources are the principle causes of the creation of environmental management systems. the optimal management of natural resources requires the assessment and classification of ecological and environmental potentials. using this method, the abilities and restrictions of resources can be recognized, and their future trends can be predicted. nebka ...

The introduction of digital pathology to nephrology provides a platform for the development of new methodologies and protocols for visual, morphometric and computer-aided assessment of renal biopsies. Application of digital imaging to pathology made substantial progress over the past decade; it is now in use for education, clinical trials and translational research. Digital pathology evolved as...

this study was designed to evaluate population variation and differentiation of bartail flathead, platycephalusindicus (linnaeus, 1785)in the iranian waters of the persian gulf using the morphometric and meristic characters. a total of 180 fish were collected by gill net from six stations (khormosa, bahrekan, shif, motaf, charak and bandar abbas) of iranian coasts of persian gulf including 30 f...

Focal cortical dysplasias type II (FCD II) are highly epileptogenic lesions frequently causing pharmacoresistant epilepsy. Detection of these lesions on MRI is still challenging as FCDs may be very subtle in appearance and might escape conventional visual analysis. Morphometric MRI analysis is a voxel-based post-processing method based on algorithms of the statistical parametric mapping softwar...

With the recent development of molecular approaches to species delimitation, a growing number of cryptic species have been discovered in what had previously been thought to be single morpho-species. Molecular methods, such as DNA barcoding, have greatly enhanced our knowledge of taxonomy, but taxonomy remains incomplete and needs a formal species nomenclature and description to facilitate its u...
