CASES OF RUPTURES OF INTERNAL ORGANS. By S. COULL MACKENZIE, M. D., Police Surgeon, Calcutta. DuuiNG the period of nine years embraced by my notes on the medico-legiil autopsies which have come under my notice as police surgeon of Calcutta, there were 111 ruptures of internal organs, aud as they will, I believe, form an interesting addition to our practical knowledge of the subject, I shall ask...

Ivemark syndrome is classified as a heterotaxy disorder or a laterality disorder. These terms refer to the failure of the internal organs of the chest and abdomen to be arranged in the proper location within the body. It is characterized by the absence (asplenia) or underdevelopment (hypoplasia) of the spleen, malformations of the heart and the abnormal arrangement of the internal organs of the...

Theoretical considerations suggest that one of the main factors determining phenotypic flexibility of the digestive system is the size (mass) of internal organs. To test this, we used mice from two lines selected for high and low levels of basal metabolic rate (BMR). Mice with higher BMRs also have larger internal organs and higher daily food consumption (C) under non-stressful conditions. We e...

background: the heartworm disease is an infectious disease of dogs with dirofilaria immitis combined with cardiovascular and circulatory abnormalities. the heartworm disease can become a serious health risk when associated with a severe infection. in this study, a male, 8 year-old dog that died suddenly was necropsied and all tissues were examined grossly. methods: major organs including heart,...

We have previously shown that resting energy expenditure (REE) adjusted by fat-free mass (FFM) in male college athletes remains consistent regardless of FFM. The FFM comprises internal organs with high metabolic activity, such as liver and brain, which account for 60 to 80% of REE in adults. The purpose of the present study is to examine the contribution of internal organs to the REE of the FFM...

Nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) rDNA and partial sequences of the cytochrome coxidase subunit I (COI) mtDNA and white gene nDNA were obtained from specimens of Anopheles nuneztovari A collected in Macapá (state of Amapá), Obidos, Prainha and Almeirim (state of Pará), Itacoatiara and Parintins (state of Amazonas), Brazil, and compared with previously published se...

UNLABELLED A new generation of reference computational phantoms, based on image-based models tied to the reference masses defined by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) for dose calculations, is presented. METHODS Anatomic models based on nonuniform rational b-spline modeling techniques were used to define reference male and female adults, 15-y-olds, 10-y-olds, 5-y-...
