BACKGROUND Circulus arteriosus cerebri is the main source of blood supply to the brain; it connects the left and right hemispheres with anterior and posterior parts. Located at the interpenducular fossa at the base of the brain the circle of Willis is the most important source of collateral circulation in the presence of the disease in the carotid or vertebral artery. AIM The purpose of the r...

background: since most clinical treatments of persian children’s language impairments are based on either the therapist, clinicians’ experiences (mostly), or english language norms (sometimes), comparing two minor indices of speech quality, namely “mean length of utterance” (mlu) and “mean length of five phrasal utterances” (mlfpu) between different age groups of children, would be unequivocall...

Wallerian degeneration of the inferior cerebellar peduncle has never been demonstrated on imaging studies. We describe a case in which it was depicted by thin slice diffusion weighted imaging. Location to the inferior cerebellar peduncle was confirmed by a fibre tracking method.

A subterranean species of Pseudocrangonyx elegantulus Hou, sp. n. is described from caves of Wulongdong National Forest Park in Henan Province, China. Pseudocrangonyx elegantulus is characterized by both male and female with calceoli on antenna II; urosomite III dorsal margin without armature; uropod III with peduncle 0.30 times as long as outer ramus and terminal article of the outer ramus a l...

The central core of the olfactory peduncle [the tissue connecting the olfactory bulb (OB) to the forebrain] includes a white matter tract that extends caudally to the anterior commissure (AC). The purpose of the present study was to examine this "anterior limb of the anterior commissure" (ALAC) to determine if the axons that progress through it segregate on the basis of their point of origin, n...

Monogenic inheritance and linkage among four morphological traits of lentil were established on the basis of F1 observations and analysis of 204 F2 plants in a cross for development of pubescence on peduncle, 228 F2 plants in a cross for tendril formation, 574 F2 plants in 5 crosses for flower numbers per peduncle and 464 F2 plants in 4 crosses for flower color under field conditions. Developme...

plants growth in many parts of the world are influenced by biotic and abiotic environmental stresses. agriculture in these area is done with higher costs and lower efficiency. therefore, assessment of plant species is so necessary in terms of salt tolerance prior to planting in large-scale for development. in this regard, salinity stress on germination of sorghum bicolor was carried out in a co...

Four new species of Badis are described from West Bengal, India. Badis andrewraoi, new species, is diagnosed by a combination of characters which include absence of a black caudal-fin margin, absence of a conspicuous dark blotch on pectoral-fin base, absence of cleithral and opercular blotches, absence of a blotch on the dorsolateral aspect of the caudal peduncle, absence of an ocellus on the c...
