Tibial eminence fractures occur as a result of high amounts of tension placed upon the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The incidence of these fractures is higher among adolescent girls due to their inherent skeletal immaturity. In such an injury, direct trauma causes an avulsion fracture occurring at the tibial eminence while the ACL is spared. Imaging is used to confirm the diagnosis of a ti...

sex determination is the first step in identification of dead body and hip bone or its components are reliable in sex discrimination. the present study was done to determine the applicability of some osteometric parameters of human hip bone in sex identification. sixteen different variables for the anterior border of 50 human hip bones from a skeletal collection were studied. statistically sign...

BACKGROUND: This study describes the 24-h changes in plasma prolactin levels, and dopamine (DA), serotonin (5HT), gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and taurine concentration in median eminence and adenohypophysis of newborn male rabbits. METHODS: Animals were kept under controlled light-dark cycles (LD 16:8, lights on at 08:00 h), housed in individual metal cages, and fed ad libitum with free acce...

PURPOSE To review outcomes of 19 patients with tibial eminence fractures. METHODS Records of 10 female and 9 male patients with type II (n=3) and type III (n=16) displaced tibial intercondylar eminence fractures were reviewed. Nine of whom were skeletally immature aged 6 to 15 (mean, 12) years; the remaining 10 patients were aged 19 to 55 (mean, 32) years. 14 involved the left knee. All patie...

Forty-four multiparous, mammary tumor-free, SpragueDawley rats, 10 months old, were divided into two groups as follows: Group 1, sham-operated controls; and Group 2, bilateral electrolytic lesions placed in the median eminence area of the hypothalamus. After 25 weeks, the animals were killed, the number of palpable mammary tumors was determined, and blood was withdrawn for prolactin analysis by...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To describe retrotympanic endoscopic anatomy, especially the pyramidal eminence and contiguous spaces. STUDY DESIGN This was an anatomical study on a prospective case series. METHODS The anatomy of the retrotympanum was studied by endoscopy in nine patients affected by cholesteatoma who underwent tympanomastoid surgery and in six temporal bone dissections. RESULTS Pn...

The mouse tongue musculature and its movements were studied macroscopically. The attachment of the extrinsic tongue muscles was also ascertained by dissection and light microscopy. 1. The genioglossus muscle of the mouse was attached to the posterior surface of the midsagittal region of the mandibular symphysis but medial and posterior to the geniohyoid tendon. 2. The genioglossus muscle was di...

ACTH-releasing potency of a purified hypothalamic CRF of pig origin was examined by use of the intrapituitary microinjection method. A good log doseresponse relationship was obtained in the dosage range from 12.5 to 50 ng injected per one anterior pituitary lobe. Two dose factorial analysis showed that the difference in response between purified CRF and median eminence extract of the rat at cor...
