Objective: The identification of landmarks in mandible is an important stage before dental procedures ın pediatric patients. purpose this study was to determine the location lingula mandible, mental foramen (MF) and lingual (LF) a paediatric population. 
 Methods: distance anterior, posterior, superior, inferior borders distal edge alveolar socket 1st molar tooth were measured. MF LF top c...

Studies in modern ecology indicate that most species are distributed independently along environmental gradients according to their individual requirements. Steep gradients often produce species associations separated by discontinuities; gradual gradients produce broadly-overlapping distributions. Approaching the distribution of species populations as a continuum, using gradient analysis, avoid...

[1] We investigated micromechanical properties and ultrastructure of the shells of the modern brachiopod species Lingula anatina, Discinisca laevis, and Discradisca stella with scanning electron microscopy (SEM, EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Vickers microhardness indentation analyses. The shells are composed of two distinct layers, an outer primary layer and an inner secondar...

Although the radiographic appearance of pulmonary MAC infection in the immunocompetent host can be varied, there are several generalizations that can be made. The classic radiographic appearance is indistinguishable from that of pulmonary tuberculosis. The classic form is seen most commonly in males and is typically associated with other predisposing diseases, especially chronic obstructive pul...

A 22-year-old woman suffered from haemoptyses of unknown aetiology. A tumour in the lingula was diagnosed histologically to be a granulomatosis, most likely a sarcoidosis. Two years later, the patient returned with dyspnoea caused by a granulomatous tumour in the trachea, histologically similar to that seen earlier. After bronchoscopic laser resection, cortisone therapy was applied but without ...
