Assessment of maxillary premolar region in relation to maxillary sinus floor and buccal bone plate: a cone beam computed tomography study

Int. j. morphol; 37 (3), 2019
The maxillary sinus floor location and the buccal bone plate are factors to be considered in the long-term success with implant treatments mainly in the premolar region. the aim of this study was to establish morphometric characteristics of the buccal cortical bone (BCB) thickness of maxillary premolars ...

Improvement of fertility parameters with tribulus terrestris and anacyclus pyrethrum treatment in male rats

Int. braz. j. urol; 45 (5), 2019
ABSTRACT Objective Anacyclus Pyrethrum (AP) and Tribulus Terrestris (TT) have been reported as male infertility treatment in several studies; however, in Iranian traditional medicine these two plants are prescribed simultaneously. In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of AP and TT extracts b...

Mating with seminal vesicle-excised male can affect the uterus phospholipid fatty-acids composition during implantation in an experimental mouse model

Int. braz. j. urol; 45 (4), 2019
ABSTRACT Purpose No comprehensive information is available about uterus fatty acid (FA) change during implantation period and possible effects of the seminal vesicle secretion on it. Materials and Methods In this study, we evaluated FA composition of uterus phospholipids during the implantation perio...

Environmental enrichment reduces brain excitability in adult rats overnourished during lactation

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 77 (8), 2019
ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed to analyze whether exposure to environmental enrichment (EE) during the juvenile phase of life interferes with the electrical activity of the adult rat brain. In addition, the present research also investigated whether this putative effect on brain electrical activit...

Arch parameters and dental discrepancy (crowding and spacing) in a sample of an Afro-Colombian population

Acta odontol. latinoam; 32 (2), 2019
The aim of this study was to determine the differences in arch length, inter-canine distance, inter-premolar distance, intermolar distance and arch shape between dental discrepancies (crowding and spacing) in a sample of dental casts from the Afro-Colombian population of San Basilio de Palenque. An analy...

Morphometric traits of the heart in standard and mutational colour variants of American mink ( Neovison vison )

Int. j. morphol; 37 (2), 2019
The aim of this study was to estimate the values of morphological traits of myocardium in American minks. The study was conducted on 342 male mink hearts and 416 female mink hearts. Mink coat coloration resulting from mutation or crossbreeding of mutational variants with each other and sex were assumed a...

Second-to-fourth digit ratio and seborrheic dermatitis in males: a cross-sectional study*

An. bras. dermatol; 94 (3), 2019
Abstract: Background: Seborrheic dermatitis is a common disease characterized by the erythematous plaques with oily-yellow desquamation. Increased sebaceous gland activity by androgenic hormones has played a role in the etiology of the disease. The second-to-fourth digit (2D:4D) ratio is thought to be a...
