Body surface determination in rabbits is essential for carrying out biological experiments with these animals in burn shock, and in hemorrhagic, endotoxic and other types of shock as well. In the experiments described a nomogram is suggested after processing data from the measurement of a variety of body parts in 100 unbred rabbits, enabling polynominal regression analysis on the basis of which a nomogram is worked out. The nomogram outlines the dependence of body surface in case of known body weight of the rabbit. In the work are submitted the values for the trunk, head, fore and hind limbs of rabbits which values greatly facilitate the investigator in carrying out experiments on individual body parts. All data are submitted in relative values and in percentage of the total body surface.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney (ADPKD) disease is the commonest genetic cause of kidney failure (affecting 1:800 individuals) and is due to heterozygous germline mutations in either of two genes, and . Homozygous germline mutations in are responsible for autosomal recessive polycystic kidney (ARPKD) disease a rare (1:20,000) but severe neonatal disease. The products of these three genes, (polycystin-1 (PC1 4302(3)aa)), (polycystin-2 (PC2 968aa)) and (fibrocystin (4074aa)) are all present on extracellular vesicles (EVs) termed, PKD-exosome-like vesicles (PKD-ELVs).

Colitis is an inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. A widely consumed dietary nutrient, α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) is known to play a crucial role in cellular metabolism and provide protection to intestinal epithelium under various pathophysiological conditions. In this study, 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) was used to induce colitis in Wistar rats.

Purpose: Investigating high performance thermoplastic polymers as substitutes to titanium alloy, in fabrication of implants and attachments to support mandibular overdenture, aiming to overcome stress shielding effect of titanium alloy implants. AIM OF STUDY: Assessment of stress distribution in polymeric prosthetic components and bone around polymeric implants, in case of implant-supported mandibular overdenture.
Materials And Methods: 3D finite element model was established for mandibular overdenture, supported bilaterally by two implants at canine region, and retained by two ball attachments.

Background: Early menopause has been associated with several cardiovascular diseases. Its impact on the progression of aortic stenosis (AS) remains unknown. We conducted an analysis to examine the impact of early menopause without hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) on the progression of AS in postmenopausal women with AS.

Electronic address:
Neurotrophic keratopathy is a degenerative disease caused by corneal nerve damage, leading to corneal ulceration. Recombinant human nerve growth factor (rhNGF) was approved for neurotrophic keratitis therapy; however, the excipients of the eye drops are not optimized for its controlled release. To this aim, we introduce the hypotonic hydrogel PF127 as an excipient for rhNGF in eye drops.
