Blood parameter examination in mountain quails (Oreortyx pictus Douglas, 1829) at the end of the breeding season.

In this publication various serum biochemistry and haematology parameters were determined from blood samples obtained from captive adult individuals of an exotic quail species, the mountain quail (Oreortyx pictus, Douglas, 1829). Venipuncture was performed in the second half of the breeding season from six roosters (males) and seven hens (females). During the examination, in addition to the haematological elements, basic parameters of serum enzyme levels, the products of protein metabolism, uric acid and the most important ions were monitored.

Artefacts on magnetic resonance imaging with Osia®2 bone conduction hearing aid: A cadaver study.

Objectives: Hearing implants often limit the assessment of magnetic resonance examinations due to susceptibility artefacts. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of artefacts attributed to the Osia®2 implant system in terms of utility in visualizing selected cranial structures.

Methods: A BI300 implant and an OSI200 actuator were implanted into a human cadaver head in the audiologically most favourable position according to the manufacturer's guidelines.

Reduced Clavicle Length Indicates the Severity of Scapular Misalignment in Obstetric Brachial Plexus Lesions.

(1) Background: Although most brachial plexus birth palsies show some spontaneous recovery, secondary operations are likely to follow. Accordingly, due to the loss of muscle innervation, the growth of the affected limb and the shoulder girdle is reduced. This is associated with pathological scapula positioning and rotation.

Silk-based nerve guidance conduits with macroscopic holes modulate the vascularization of regenerating rat sciatic nerve.

JOURNAL/nrgr/04.03/01300535-202506000-00029/figure1/v/2024-08-05T133530Z/r/image-tiff Peripheral nerve injuries induce a severe motor and sensory deficit. Since the availability of autologous nerve transplants for nerve repair is very limited, alternative treatment strategies are sought, including the use of tubular nerve guidance conduits (tNGCs).
