in wistar rats, reproductive behavior is controlled in a neural circuit of ventral forebrain including the medial amygdala (me), bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (bnst) and medial preoptic area (mpoa) via perception of social odors. diabetes mellitus (dm) is a widespread metabolic disease that affects many organs in a variety of levels. dm can cause central neuropathies such as neuronal apop...

The acute self-stimulation of the medial forebrain bundle was reported to induce the expression of c-Fos, the protein product of c-fos, an immediate early gene, in the central nervous system. In the present study, we examined regional changes in c-Fos expression in several reward-related areas of rat brain in response to short- and long-term exposure to self-stimulation of the medial forebrain ...

Although research has provided abundant evidence for Taichi-induced improvements in psychological and physiological well-being, little is known about possible links to brain structure of Taichi practice. Using high-resolution MRI of 22 Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) practitioners and 18 controls matched for age, sex and education, we set out to examine the underlying anatomical correlates of long-term Tai...

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with a medial pivot design was developed in order to mimic normal knee kinematics; the highly congruent medial compartment implant should improve clinical results and decrease contact stresses. Clinical and radiographic mid-term outcomes are satisfactory, but we need other studies to evaluate long-term results and indications for unusual cases.

purpose: to identify the postoperative surgical outcomes and the changes in deviation in patients treated by bilateral medial rectus (bmr) recession for small to large angle esotropia with a minimum follow-up of two years methods: in this retrospective and consecutive case series, we reviewed medical records of 130 patients who had recession surgery for correction of esotropia between 2001-2011...
