Total and early rosettes and rosette inhibition were measured in patients with cervical dysplasia and carcinoma in situ. Both total and early rosettes were significantly depressed in patients with carcinoma in situ; early rosettes were also significantly lower than were controls in women with severe dysplasia. Rosette inhibition titers were increased in most patients with moderate dysplasia and...

INTRODUCTION Teratoma refers to a neoplasm that recapitulates all three germ layers. Teratomas may be histologically mature and oncologically benign. Teratomas may also be histologically immature while being oncologically benign, or they may harbor malignant components and have the potential to exhibit an aggressive biological behavior. Teratomas of the head and neck are extremely rare and usua...

A classification with clinical significance is proposed for ventricular septal defect based on the study of 220 hearts with defects of the ventricular septum. All had atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial concordance with normal relations of cardiac structure. For the purpose of classification, the ventricular septum was considered as possessing muscular and membranous portions, the muscular ...

today, with emphasis on the mechanical heart and heart transplantation from one human to another andone species to another, a knowledge of the anatomy of the bird’s heart could contribute to theseaccomplishments. eight male adult ostriches were used to study the heart macroscopically. this studyrevealed that the ostrich heart has some different features from the other birds. in the ostrich, fib...

BACKGROUND The spread of activation between the right atrium (RA) and left atrium (LA), particularly along the right and left aspects of the interatrial septum, is not clear. METHODS AND RESULTS Basket-shaped catheters carrying 64 electrodes were deployed into both the RA and LA of 10 dogs. Position and orientation of the baskets were determined by fluoroscopy and echocardiography. Basket uni...

the structure of the sheep cervix limits the application of reproductive biotechnologies such as embryo transfer and artificial insemination. the aim of this study was to determine differences in cervical anatomy and morphology between sanjabi lambs and ewes, and the relationship between cervical anatomy and cervical penetration in ewes. four hundred and sixty eight postmortum cervices belongin...

Leiomyoma of nasal cavity is a rare and benign tumor of smooth muscle origin that uncommonly arises from the nasal septum. We present an unusual case of histopathologically diagnosed locally extensive leiomyoma of the nasal septum which was clinically and radiologically misdiagnosed as malignancy of the nasal cavity. This case report emphasizes the rare occurrence of this entity at this site an...
