Premenarchial Transverse vaginal septum is a benign condition. The septum may be found in the upper, middle or lower vagina. A case report of a premenarchial girl with transverse vaginal septum managed at the university college hospital, Ibadan, in January 2009. Diagnosis was made following a history of primary amenorrhea, cyclical low abdominal pain and pelvic examination which revealed a vagi...

The axial soft−tissue system in the neck of Dicraeosauridae and Diplodocidae, including pneumatic diverticula, liga− ments, and muscles, is reconstructed on the basis of phylogenetic and functional morphological comparisons with extant crocodylians and birds and compared with other soft−tissue reconstructions for sauropods. Bifurcation of the neural spines separated the paired supraspinal ligam...

OF THE 5 different waves described as appearing in the normal plethysmogram of an extremity, the last 3 (alpha, beta, and gamma waves) are grouped together as the slow or third order waves. Their relative frequencies in the human digit are 2 to 14 per minute, 1 to 2 per minute, and 1 to 8 per hour. They were first described by Hewlett and Van Zwaluwenberg (1909) as large vasomotor waves "eviden...

a 47-year-old man presented as a dyspnea and fatigue. a transthoracic echocardi-ography (tte) performed to assess valvar heart disease and left ventricular (lv) function showed a large hydatid cysts in the inter ventricular septum bulging to posterior of heart and compressing its overlying muscle as whitish round mass. the patient underwent elective surgery by evacuation of septal hydatid cysts...

The study aimed to investigate the difference of setup errors on different registration in the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma based on weekly cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Thirty nasopharyngeal cancer patients scheduled to undergo intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) were prospectively enrolled in the study. Each patient had a weekly CBCT before radiation therapy. In the entir...

Background Uterine rupture in a term pregnancy is an adverse and rare event with serious maternal and fetal consequences. The history of uterine septum resection is considered as a risk factor for uterine rupture. Women with such circumstances are thus recommended to be considered as having a high-risk pregnancy. Accordingly, their prenatal care should be implemented in shorter intervals during...

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...
