Tongue development in stillborns autopsied at different gestational ages

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 94 (6), 2018
Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to analyze, through the morphometric method, the perimeter and length of the tongue, the collagen fibers, and the perimeter of blood vessels at different gestational ages and fetal weights. Material and methods: Tongues (n = 55) of stillborns autopsied at 23-40 wee...

Uso da ultrassonografia para avaliar a espessura muscular e a gordura subcutânea em crianças e adolescentes com fibrose cística

RESUMO Objetivo: Comparar a espessura muscular e a gordura subcutânea entre pacientes com fibrose cística (FC) e controles saudáveis e correlacionar os achados ultrassonográficos com variáveis nutricionais, clínicas e de função pulmonar. Métodos: Foram incluídos sujeitos (6 a 18 anos) com o...

Ultrasound dynamics of gastric content volumes after the ingestion of coconut water or a meat sandwich. A randomized controlled crossover study in healthy volunteers

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 68 (6), 2018
Abstract Background: Adequate preoperative fasting is critical in preventing pulmonary aspiration of gastric content. We proposed to study the sonographic gastric content dynamics after the ingestion of liquid or solid food in healthy volunteers and confront it with current guidelines for preoperative f...

Does total testicular volume predict testicular volume difference in adolescent males with varicocele?

Int. braz. j. urol; 44 (5), 2018
ABSTRACT Introduction: We evaluated the relationship between total testicular volume (TTV) and testicular volume differential (TVD) in adolescent males with varicocele. Both low TTV and high TVD have been independently associated with higher incidences of infertility later in life, but a predictive rela...

Effects of maternal and postweaning high-fat diet exposure on the hippocampal functions and morphology

Int. j. morphol; 36 (3), 2018
Unbalanced nutrition during perinatal period causes varying degrees of perturbations in the metabolism and cognitive functions of offspring. The aim of this study was to investigate effects of maternal and postweaning high-fat diet (HFD) exposure on the growth parameters, hippocampal functions and morpho...

Multiple factors affect the regeneration of liver

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE To study factors affecting the liver regeneration after hepatectomy METHODS With 3D reconstitution technology, liver regeneration ability of 117 patients was analysed, and relative factors were studied. RESULTS There was no statistically difference between the volume of simulated ...

Evaluation of tongue/mandible volume ratio in children with obstructive sleep apnea

ABSTRACT Objective: The present study was an attempt to investigate tongue/mandible volume ratio in children, using volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for early screening and to aid in treatment planning. Methods: Volumetric evaluation of tongue volume/mandible volume ratio (TV/MV ratio) in c...

Acute effects of mimosine purified from Leucaena leucocephala on male reproductive system of adult mice

Int. j. morphol; 36 (2), 2018
This study attempted to examine the acute effect of purified minosine extracted from Leucaena leucocephala on male reproductive system. Adults male mice were divided into 4 groups (n =8); control and 3 experimental groups treated with purified mimosine at different doses of 15, 30, and 60 mg/KgBW, respec...

Histomorphological study of placenta in gestational diabetes mellitus

Int. j. morphol; 36 (2), 2018
Evidence from the literature shows that well-controlled glucose levels during pregnancy are usually associated with normal placental morphology. The aim of this study was to identify the lacental changes attributed to maternal hyperglycemia. A total of 20 placentae were selected for study from a tertiary...

Methotrexate changes the testicular tyrosine phosphorylated protein expression and seminal vesicle epithelia of adult rats

Int. j. morphol; 36 (2), 2018
Methotrexate (MTX) is commonly used as a chemotherapy agent and immune system suppressant but its adverse effect on male reproductive system is still limited. This study aimed to investigate the effect of MTX on structure and functional proteins of testis and seminal vesicle. Adult male rats were divided...
