results 22 patients were male (73.3%) and the mean age was 60.3 ± 10.6 years in our study group. the most common artery for cut off and run off was superior femoral artery in both assessments. proximal section of each artery was the most common anatomical section for cut off and run off. there was a same report of cut off artery by mr-angiography and surgery (kappa coefficient of agreement was ...

objective: elevated nucleated red blood cell (nrbc) count is introduced as a potential marker of intra-uterine growth restriction (iugr). to investigate the probable association regardless of any known underlying disease, we aimed to study disturbances in nrbc count in infants experiencing idiopathic iugr. materials and methods: twenty three infants regarded iugr without any known cause were ch...

1. An electrophysiological method was used to estimate the half-times for sodium and potassium entry to, and efflux from, the extra-axonal space in peripheral nerve and central nervous connectives of two species of crustacean. Results from crab (marine) and crayfish (fresh water) were qualitatively similar. 2. Peripheral nerve showed no evidence for diffusion barriers, potassium entry and efflu...

Peripheral ameloblastoma (PA) is a relatively uncommon odontogenic tumor that is histologically identical to the classic inttaosseous ameloblastoma but it occurs primarily in the soft tissues overlying the toothbearing regions of the jaws and does not exhibit the invasive and aggressive behavior of its intraosseous counterpart.l The origin of PA is thought to be from 1 of 2 sources: extraosseou...

Pulsatile flow of blood through mild stenosed narrow arteries is analyzed by treating the blood in the core region as Casson fluid and the plasma in the peripheral layer as Newtonian fluid. Perturbation method is used to solve the coupled implicit system of non-linear differential equations. The expressions for velocity, wall shear stress, plug core radius, flow rate and resistance to flow are ...

THE PRESENT PAPER describes some observations upon the modality and topographical attributes of single neurons of the first somatic sensory area of the cat’s cerebral cortex, the analogue of the cortex of the postcentral gyrus in the primate brain. These data, together with others upon the response latencies of the cells of different layers of the cortex to peripheral stimuli, support an hypoth...

Following prolonged odor stimulation, output from olfactory bulb (OB) mitral/tufted (M/T) cells is decreased in response to subsequent olfactory stimulation. Currently, it is unclear if this decrease is a function of adaptation of peripheral olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) responses or reflects depression of bulb circuits. We used wide-field calcium imaging in anesthetized transgenic GCaMP2 mice...

PURPOSE To define the phenotype of the retinal degeneration associated with mutations in the CERKL gene. METHODS Six patients (ages, 26-54 years) from three unrelated families with CERKL mutations were studied clinically and by electroretinography, kinetic, and chromatic static perimetry, autofluorescence (AF) imaging, and optical coherence tomography (OCT). RESULTS Three siblings were homo...

PURPOSE To use highly precise spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) to determine whether there were structural abnormalities in the layers of different regions of the fovea in children with anisometropic amblyopia. METHODS Eighteen children (mean age 7.8 years old; range 5-11 years) with unilateral anisometropic amblyopia and 18 age-matched control subjects participated. Fovea...
