1. Development of Adrenal Glands from the Embryonic Phase to Puberty in Spix’s Yellow-toothed Cavies (Galea spixii, Wagler, 1831)

ABSTRACT Several authors have underscored the importance of establishing parameters in morphological development by gender comparison to establish clinical and pre-clinical assays through the use of experimental models. Current research compares the morphometry of right and left adrenal glands of males and females and describes differentiation of the cortex

2. Smaller left anterior cingulate cortex in non-bipolar relatives of patients with bipolar disorder

Objective: Bipolar disorder (BD) is highly heritable. The present study aimed at identifying brain morphometric features that could represent markers of BD vulnerability in non-bipolar relatives of bipolar patients. Methods: In the present study, structural magnetic resonance imaging brain scans were acquired from a total of 93 subjects, including 31 patie

3. Prevalence of self-reported trauma in a sample of Iranian children is low and unrelated to parents’ education or current employment status

Objective: In Western countries, the prevalence of childhood trauma (CT) ranges from 15 to 25%. CT might be indirectly associated with lower parental socioeconomic status and educational attainments. The aims of this cross-sectional study were fourfold: to assess prevalence of CT in a large sample of Iranian children; to compare the Iranian prevalence rates

Abstract Large Scale Projects, such as hydroelectric dams, have a number of consequences, one of the most important of which is compulsory population relocation. Over the course of more than 30 years we have investigated the relocation process of the city of Federación (Argentina), as a consequence of the construction of the Argentine-Uruguayan bi-national

7. Quality of life and mastication in denture wearers and cleft lip and palate adults

Abstract The impact of oral rehabilitation on masticatory function and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) may vary with the experience of the individual with tissue loss. Our hypothesis is that patient-centered outcomes vary among adults who have experienced large defects in the maxilla due to congenital or acquired conditions even after oral rehab

8. The link between ankylosing spondylitis and oral health conditions: two nested case-control studies using data of the UK Biobank

Abstract Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is an inflammatory rheumatic disease that affects the axial skeleton and the sacroiliac joints. Recent studies investigated the link between AS and oral diseases, particularly periodontitis. Others suggested that periodontitis may have a role in the pathogenesis of rheumatic diseases. Objective: The aim of this study is t

9. Lethal concentration of methyl methanesulfonate in a new potential invertebrate model for ecotoxicology

Abstract Sensitivity to different concentrations (0-200 mgL-1) of the alkylating agent methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) was evaluated in the new potential invertebrate model, the amphipod Quadrivisio lutzi (Shoemaker, 1933) after 48 h of exposure in two separate bioassays. In the first bioassay (0, 50, 100 and 200 mgL-1 MMS), all amphipods at concentrations ≥

Abstract Background: Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) polymorphism has been associated with different clinical and echocardiographic parameters in patients with heart failure (HF). However, no studies have been investigated such association with HF caused by Chagas disease. Objectives: To perform a genetic study to evaluate the frequency of ACE polymorp
