The left ventricular outflow tract is here considered to be that region of the left ventricle that lies between the anterior cusp ofthe mitral valve and the ventricular septum. The ventricular septum lies at an angle of45 degrees to the median plane. The 'anterior' wall of the outflow tract is therefore anteromedial and the 'posterior' wall is posterolateral. In the anterior wall are both the m...

The neural crest origin of the aortopulmonary septum has led us to investigate the septum for a special function, and we designed the present study to assess the alteration, if any, in the dimensions of the aortopulmonary septum in hypertension. The dimensions of the aortopulmonary septum were measured by echocardiography in 36 hypertensive and 36 age- and sex-matched normotensive subjects. Ech...

BACKGROUND The Le Fort I osteotomy is one of the most widely used and useful procedure to correct the dentofacial deformities of the midface. The changes of the maxilla position affect to overlying soft tissue including the nasal structure. Postoperative nasal septum deviation is a rare and unpredicted outcome after the surgery. There are only a few reports reporting the management of this comp...

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...

Rapid eye movement sleep in males is characterized by penile erection along with EEG desynchronization, muscle atonia, ponto-geniculo-occipital waves, and rapid eye movements (REM). The central neural mechanisms regulating sleep related erections (SREs) are not known. Recently, the lateral preoptic area has been shown to contribute in sleep-related erectile mechanisms. The present study was con...

Cytokinesis in budding yeast is accomplished by the concerted action of actomyosin ring function and septum formation. The actomyosin ring is not essential for cell viability, but it is required for efficient cell division. Deletion of the actomyosin ring results in abnormal septum formation, and a delay in cytokinesis and cell separation. In contrast, septum formation is essential for cell via...

BACKGROUND Septate uterus is the most common uterine anomaly and a cause for miscarriage and infertility. Existing data suggested a better reproductive outcome of uterine septum following hysteroscopic septum resection. OBJECTIVE Current study was administered to share our experience in hystroscopic septum resection for reproductive outcome following hysteroscopic treatment of uterine septum ...

In Mycobacterium tuberculosis the mechanism of septum formation and regulation of cell division remains undefined. In other bacterial species FtsZ polymerization and septum formation are influenced through protein interactions in addition to transcriptional regulation, and the combination of these provides tight regulation of this process. However, homologues of proteins known to affect FtsZ as...

BACKGROUND Abnormally large cavum septum pellucidum has been reported in posttraumatic stress disorder; however, the origin of this association is uncertain. METHODS We utilized magnetic resonance imaging to measure cavum septum pellucidum in pairs of identical twins discordant for combat exposure in Vietnam. RESULTS Presence of abnormal cavum septum pellucidum was significantly correlated ...
