INTRODUCTION When a muscle shortens it must increase in transverse crosssectional area in order to minimize any changes in volume. This increase in cross-sectional area may occur as a bulging in depth or in width. Pennate muscles have structural asymmetries due to the nature of the pennation, and thus may have asymmetries between the bulging in depth or width. Muscle depth can be considered as ...

The submental-cervical angle is an important anatomical landmark in neck beauty. Considered attractive and a sign of youthful when between 105° 120°, greater values are considered “heavy” or double chin related to the aging process and/or weight gain. submandibular gland can also contribute alteration angle, increasing area’s bulging. Neck-lifting techniques have potential produce changes later...

BACKGROUND Nowadays obesity is a common problem as it leads to abdominal deformation and people’s dissatisfaction of their own body. This study has explored using a new surgical technique based on a different incision to reform the flank skin laxity and dog ear plus aggressive liposuction on women with abdominal deformities. METHODS From May 2014 to February 2016, 25 women were chosen ...

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is associated with abnormal left ventricular (LV) filling hemodynamics [mitral early passive filling wave velocity/late active filling wave velocity (E/A) < 1]. Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) acutely reduces pulmonary vascular resistance, resulting in an increase of mitral E/A. The abolishment of leftward septal bulging and an increase in ri...

The inflation of planar thin films represents a phenomenon widely employed by engineering and biological systems, with applications ranging from pressure sensors material characterization to growing skins in the human body. In this paper, bulging plane circular membranes composed isotropic elastoplastic materials is analytically, computationally experimentally studied. An analytical finite stra...

Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma is a distinct entity among Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated gastric carcinomas, characterized by the presence of a lymphoid stroma with small nests of cancer cells uniformly distributed throughout. Epithelioid granulomas with multinucleated giant cells are extremely rare in the tumor tissue. The presence of epithelioid granulomas with prominent lymphocyte inf...

226 Volume XI, no. 2 : May 2010 The bulging membrane was incised and drained 300 mL of fluid. The child improved symptomatically. Hydronephrosis resolved on follow-up ultrasonography. An imperforate hymen causing hydrometrocolpos, bilateral hydronephrosis and associated anuria/urinary retention is extremely rare in the neonatal period.1 Neonatal Hydrometrocolpos secondary to imperforate hymen u...
