The lipochromic mosaic canary is a cage bird breed present with different coat colors, red, and yellow, this presents significant sexual dichromatism. Dichromatism in canaries explained by differential carotenoid degradation the integument, rather than sex-specific variation physiological functions such as pigment uptake or transport. Males have an intense color compared to females especially a...

BACKGROUND Lesions of the biceps pulley and instability of the long head of the biceps tendon are common diagnoses in patients with anterior shoulder pain. PURPOSE To analyze the pathoanatomy of the biceps reflection pulley ("pulley") in consecutive patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study (prevalence); Level of evidence, 2. METHODS Prospective data were collect...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE External beam radiation therapy (XRT) for head and neck cancer is known to induce hypothyroidism and cause morphologic changes in the thyroid gland. This retrospective study investigates change in the size of the thyroid gland detectable by CT after XRT for laryngeal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS The measured width of the thyroid lobes in 61 patients treated nonsurgical...

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is characterized by clinical manifestations of severe hypodontia or anodontia, hypotrichosis, hypohidrosis, and specific facial appearance. Affected males show complete expression of clinical features of this condition. Their mothers, who are gene carriers, express only some signs, which are usually very mild. Currently available clinical methods are not ...

introduction: the findings of cephalometry studies are widely applied in medical and engineering fields. cephalometry measurements are affected by genetics‚ age‚ gender‚ and social‚ economic and geographic factors.this study assesses cephalometry of the neurocranium in male newborns in kermanshah,iran by an anthropometry method to confirm or reject the theory of brachycephalization (i.e., a spr...

Characterizing patterns of observed current variation, and testing hypotheses concerning the potential drivers of this variation, is fundamental to understanding how morphology evolves. Phylogenetic history, size and ecology are all central components driving the evolution of morphological variation, but only recently have methods become available to tease these aspects apart for particular bod...

The morphometrics of the Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) reared on tomato, potato and brinjal were analysed at Insectary, Department Entomology, S V Agricultural College, Tirupati. results showed that mean length width egg, I, II, III IV instar larvae, pupa adult was maximum when tomato. head capsule all instars also more. These findings clearly indicated preference T. for to...
