Crush injury to the sciatic nerve causes oxidative stress. Alfa Lipoic acid (a-LA) is a neuroprotective metabolic antioxidant. This study was designed investigate antioxidant effects of pretreatment with a-LA on crush rat nerve.Forty rats were randomized into four groups. Group I and II received saline (2 ml, intraperitoneally) (100 mg/kg, 2 in groups III IV at 24 1 hour prior injury. In II, IV, left exposed compressed for 60 seconds jeweler's forceps. (n = 10), explored but not crushed. all...

METHODS:In study, 107 medicine faculty students their second year (who will take same committee exam) aged between 19 23 years were included.The first...

Abstract False tendons are thin, fibrous or fibromuscular structures that traverse the cavity of left ventricle with no connection to valvular cusps; they may be single multiple. We retrospectively analyzed echocardiograms for prevalence false in hearts 368 (231 male, 137 female) newborns, infants, and children (mean age = 6.28 ± 4.32 years) who were referred echocardiography because suspected acquired congenital heart disease, but whom cardiac pathology was found. In addition, we studied 90...

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow quantification in the cerebral aqueduct using phase‐contrast cine magnetic resonance ımaging (PCC‐MRI) according to both sexes and three different age groups obtain normative data. Seventy two volunteers with no pathology were included study. Subjects divided into groups: 20–34 years, 35–49 50–65 years including equal gender groups. CSF flow's quantitatively evaluation performed images that obtained by 1.5 T Magnetic Resonance...

The aim of this study is the evaluation anatomical structures sphenoid sinus ostium used as a reference point for transsphenoidal surgery by cone beam computed tomography. authors' was performed using cone-beam tomography images 16 to 82-year old 200 (112 female, 88 male) patients (Newton 5G, Verona, Italy). Septum deviation and distance between 2 ostia were evaluated coronal axial sections, respectively. Pneumatization degree sinus, diameter ostium, lower edge superior turbinate measured...

The groove for the vertebral artery (VA) may be bridged on C-1, forming a canal through which passes. Because this variant significantly affect commonly performed C-1 posterior laminectomy, authors studied incidence and radiological appearance of anatomical feature in surgical specimens.Anatomical measurements were using Vernier caliper (accurate to 0.1 mm) 166 dry vertebrae. In addition, convenience sample 172 cervical x-ray films was evaluated. Partial osseous bridging detected eight...

Our aim was to investigate the morphometric features of malleolar groove lateral malleolus in humans.This study performed on grooves 93 (80 dry and 13 cadaveric) fibulae. We measured length fibula; length, width, depth groove; angle between fibular axis. Furthermore, we distances distal tip fibula medial tubercles malleolus, width posterior surface malleolus.We found shape regularly concave 63 out (68%) The triangular area at aspect where peroneal tendons pass over, may serve as a bed for...

The papillary muscles of the heart are conical projections into respective chamber myocardium covered by endocardium. Functionally, important part valve complex. They prevent cusps a from being everted when ventricle contracts. Our study was conducted on in left 135 normal adult hearts (20 humans, 25 dogs, 60 sheep and 30 goats). length (L), width (W), head number (HN), angle with ventricular wall (A°), distance annulus (AnD) apex (ApD), shapes anterior posterior were observed. tendinous...

The anthropometric characteristics of patients treated for clubfoot were used to investigate whether the dimensions foot affected by method treatment. A total 68 followed up an average 9 years divided into three groups: group 1, conservatively treated; 2, surgically 3, on one side and other. following discrepancies in length obtained: 0.91 cm; 1.5 1.09 cm. Toe lengths shorter same extent as other foot. These statistically significant. width 0.05 0.37 0.054 these insignificant. authors...

This study was planned to evaluate both the histopathological changes under light microscope as well systemic organ effects following application of Ankaferd Blood Stopper ® (ABS) (a mixture five plant extracts) in an animal model deep tissue hemorrhage. METHODSA total 50 Wistar Albino rats were divided into groups 10 each.The underwent femoral vein puncture and treated with ABS tampon, spray, or Surgicel, one group left untreated.After two weeks, each partial excision from same region...

Our purpose in this study was to investigate the perivasculary space under myocardial bridges (MB) dog, sheep, goat and human hearts. A total of 160 hearts were studied, examined microscope. The specimens belonged 25 dogs, 100 goats 10 humans. Special attention paid evaluate distance between MB coronary arteries (CA), CA underlying myocardium (UM) find relation concomitant vein number accompanying MB. 219 found hearts, from these There large variations (0-714 microm) UM (0-309 microm)....

Significant corpus callosum (CC) atrophy has been demonstrated in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The aim of this study is to evaluate the size and area CC Osiris method. correlation between measurements Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) scores AD was also investigated.The results topographic included cross-sectional entire CC, body, rostral portion genu splenium from a midsagittal magnetic resonance imaging section. on MRI method were compared (n = 29) control subjects 27).In...

Objectives : The aim of this study was to reveal the normal morphometric values Achilles tendon using ultrasound (US) imaging in subjects different gender, age groups, smoking status, and physical exercise habits. Methods: A total 342 tendons were examined 171 volunteers (69 females, 102 males) with age, gender, weight, height, width, length, thickness, cross-sectional area and length measured a commercial machine 9-15 mHz linear-array transducer. Results: average area male...

Objectives: Our aim was to investigate the morphologic and morphometric features of brachial plexus in rat evaluate findings with that human classical textbooks comparatively. Methods:This study carried out on 100 plexuses 50 adult wistar albino rats (240-280 gr) (25 males 25 females).The overlying tissues were incised for evaluation axillary region.After then prepared microdissection technique evaluated terms its formation.We made measurements related extremities; length upper (anterior)...

Background: Body composition, which is affected by body fat ratio an important factor affecting parameters such as strength, endurance, flexibility and agility required for superiority in sportive performance.
