Background: Variations of morphology of the glenoid cavity have been previously reported. These influence the surgical reconstruction or arthroplasty of the shoulder. This study aims to study the variation of the shape of suprascapular notch, shape of glenoid cavity, dimensions of both the scapular and the glenoid cavity, and predict the glenoid dimensions from the scapular dimension parameters.

We investigated changes in the histology and protein expression in the epidermis and sub-epidermis of the black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monondon) during the molting cycle. The epidermis consists of a cell layer located beneath the cuticle, while the sub-epidermis is mainly composed of sub-epidermal cells and tegumental glands. During the molting cycle, the epidermal cells increase in cell height and number, and the sub-epidermis increases in its storage of carbohydrate, protein, mucus, and other unidentified substances at the time of the active period of cuticular regeneration.

Introduction: Apoptosis and angiotensin II (Ang II) have been suggested as possible causes of arrhythmias. In addition, Ang II via Ang II type I (AT(1)-) receptors, has been demonstrated to induce cardiomyocyte apoptosis. The transgenic m(Ren-2)27 (TG) rat carries the additional Ren-2 gene, the expression of which results in an increase in cardiac Ang II, thus potentially affecting the cell growth/death equilibrium.
