OBJECTIVE(S) The adverse effects of pyridaben on reproductive system in male animals are not well established. This study was designed to elucidate how pyridaben can effects the histomorphometric, hormonal alternations and reproductive functions of BALB/c mice. Materials and Methods : For this study, 80 adult and apparently healthy male BALB/c mice were divided into three groups Viz, control, t...

PURPOSE This study evaluated the stability and histologic proof of osseoincorporation of Trabecular Metal (TM) dental implants, which feature a tantalum-based porous midsection. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 48 TM implants (test group) and Tapered Screw-Vent implants (control group) were immediately placed bilaterally into mandibular extraction sockets in dogs. Resonance frequency analysis...

Diabetic neuropathy is a major complication of diabetes mellitus affecting to an equal extent type 1 and type 2 patients. Various mechanisms including metabolic and vascular abnormalities have been proposed to explain the progressive pathological changes that occur in peripheral nerve. Regardless of the precise mechanisms, structural abnormalities lead to functional changes which eventually res...

Raloxifene, a selective estrogen receptor modulator, is used for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Raloxifene use in male subjects is increasingly considered and a few clinical studies of its effect on bone turnover have already been performed. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of raloxifene on the skeletal system of healthy mature male ...

Histomorphometric studies of the age-related changes in bone remodelling and structure in men are relatively sparse and mainly limited to the iliac crest. The available data indicate that loss of trabecular bone is predominantly due to decreased formation at the level of individual bone remodelling units and that an increase in remodelling rate does not play a major role. The main structural co...
