The distribution of fibronectin and laminin was examined by immunohistochemistry in 11 adenoid cystic breast carcinomas, six adenoid cystic carcinomas of mouth and salivary gland, and six cribriform ductal breast carcinomas. Both proteins were present lining cystic lumina and around tumour islands in all the adenoid cystic breast carcinomas and in five of six salivary gland tumours. Abundant la...

Kallmann syndrome (KS) is characterized by hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and inability to smell (anosmia), owing to impaired targeting and migration of olfactory axons and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-secreting neurons (Kallmann, 1944). During normal development, olfactory neurons project their axons through the cribriform plate and the meningeal tissue and enter the olfactory bulb. Gn...

(2015) Harvesting of olfactory ensheathing cells for autologous transplantation into the spinal cord injury. Its complexity in dogs. The mucosa lining the nasal cavity and its content contains olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). The OSNs are organized into different territories (four in mammals with a more sophisticated model) and, with the exception of the OSNs enclosed in the vomeronasal organ,...

Abstract INTRODUCTION Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) is a rare malignant neoplasm of the olfactory epithelium with an estimated incidence 0.4/million. It can directly extend along cribriform plate in order to metastasize central nervous system. However, non-contiguous intracranial involvement without recurrence at primary site extremely uncommon. In this report, authors review literature and prese...

The computational model presented in this paper focuses on modeling ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), which is the most commonly detected preinvasive form of breast cancer. The model aims to understand the biological mechanisms and resultant growth dynamics of DCIS. The cellular automaton model based on observed phenotypic characteristics of DCIS emphasize the important role of contact inhibitio...

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the distribution of ethmoid roof variation and symmetry according to Keros classification.   Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study assessed the paranasal CT scans of 600 patients over 18 years of age with no history of surgery, trauma, or localized fracture in the ethmoid, nose, and anterior skull...

OBJECTIVE To describe a quantitative analysis of the lateral lamella of the cribriform plate (LLCP) height in computed tomographic (CT) images. The LLCP is the thinnest anatomic structure in the skull base. DESIGN Software-enabled CT scan measurements. SETTING Academic center. RESULTS The CT scans from 50 patients were analyzed. The median height of the LLCP in 100 sides was 2.4 mm. The L...
