Objective: To evaluate changes in the trachea and bronchi of COVID-19 patients using the 3-dimensional reconstruction images obtained from chest CT (computed tomography) scans.
Study Design: An observational study. Place and Duration of the Study: Departments of Anatomy and Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Lokman Hekim University, Ankara, Turkey, between March 2021 and January 2022.
Article Synopsis
- - The cause of hydranencephaly is not well understood, but exposure to toxic substances like toluene during pregnancy may increase the risk.
- - A newborn showed signs of severe brain abnormalities, confirmed by CT scans that indicated the absence of cerebral hemispheres while other brain structures developed normally.
- - The mother’s job exposed her to toluene, leading to the baby’s diagnosis of hydranencephaly along with other conditions like central diabetes insipidus and hypothyroidism, requiring a ventriculoperitoneal shunt for increased head pressure.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of antioxidants on angiogenesis in uterine transplantation. We used 24 female rats equally divided into four groups: Group 1 had the uterus stored in HTK (Histidine-Tryptophan-Ketoglutarate) solution at 4 °C cold storage for 4 h. Group 2 had the uterine tissue stored in HTK solution combined with acetyl L-carnitine (10M) for 4 h at +4 °C.

Twenty-four female Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups: control group was injected with saline (control); group 2 was injected with acetyl l-carnitine; group 3 was injected with cisplatin; and group 4 was pre-treated with acetyl l-carnitine before cisplatin intraperitoneal injection. According to our results, a significant weight loss was observed in rats from group 3.

Objective: To examine immunohistochemically the distribution of cell-cycle regulators p53 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), which are in close cooperation with each other in first trimester and term human placentas.
Study Design: Human first trimester placental tissue was obtained by curettage from legal abortions obtained for social reasons, and human term placental tissue was obtained. Neither the interrupted pregnancy nor the obstetrical history showed any abnormalities.
Purpose: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is an indicator of coronary atherosclerosis and is associated with future adverse cardiac events. Isolated coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is defined as localized or diffuse dilation of the coronary arteries without coronary stenosis. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between CAC and isolated CAE.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-six Wistar rats were randomized into six groups (n = 6). Laparotomy was performed in all groups under general anesthesia.
Background: Cisplatin, an effective antineoplastic agent, damages normal cells in a manner related to chemotherapy. Acetyl L-carnitine protects cells against mitochondrial and nuclear damage induced by chemotherapy.
Aims: Animal experiment.
