Etoposide Model-Induced Changes in Antioxidant Studies Histological and Ultrastructural Evaluations of Hepatic, Renal, and Cardiac Tissues of Male Rats

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: Etoposide is an effective antimitotic and antineoplastic agent used to treat various human malignancies. In the present study, Etoposide was injected intraperitoneally into the rats at 1 mg/kg/day for 52 days (52 doses). The control animals received physiological saline (0.5 ml) intraperitoneall...

Subcortical Volume Changes in Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder: A Quantitative MRI Study

Int. j. morphol; 42 (2), 2024
SUMMARY: Volume abnormalities in subcortical structures, including the hippocampus, amygdala, thalamus, caudate, putamen, and globus pallidus have been observed in schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BD), not all individuals with these disorders exhibit such changes. In addition, the specific patter...

Influencia de la anastomosis de las arterias umbilicales (Hyrtl's) en la morfometría y eficiencia placentaria

Int. j. morphol; 40 (6), 2022
La anastomosis de Hyrtl's (AH), vaso único con amplia variabilidad anatómica, comunica las arterias umbilicales cerca de la inserción del cordón umbilical en las placentas humanas. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue determinar si existe relación entre las características morfométricas de la plac...

Cyperus esculentus L. protects testis and sperm morphology of hyperglycaemic rats

Cyperus esculentus L. (tiger nut) is a tuberous plant that promotes and protects reproductive functions, which are usually hampered in diabetics. The present study investigated the effect of Cyperus esculentus tuber extract (CETE) on testicular histology and sperm viability of all...

Anticarcinogenic activity of methanol extract of Melastoma malabathricum leaves is attributed to the presence of phenolics compounds and the activation of endogenous antioxidant system

Melastoma malabathricum (M. malabathricum) extracts have been reported to exert various pharmacological activities including antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative activities. The objective of the present study was to determine the anticarcinogenic activity of its methanol extract (MEMM)...

Application of stereology in liver volume measurements using computed tomography scan

Int. j. morphol; 40 (5), 2022
SUMMARY: The application of stereology in hepatobiliary conditions is essential in liver volume estimation. Computerized topographic scan with contrast is a reliable method in liver scanning for precise boundaries demarcation. Liver volumetry varies in relation to different factors. Reports showed a corr...

Validation of 2d ultrasound and volume estimation formulae for volume assessment of kidneys and spleens: an in-vitro study

The accuracy of internal organ volume estimation done with ultrasound (US) was found to be multifactorial. Hence, we aimed to describe and validate the volume assessment of ultrasound and standard volume estimation formulae for different shaped intra-abdominal organs using spleens and ki...
