Cranial Arterial Perfusion of the Tympanic Bullae Region in Llamas (Lama glama): Anatomic Features and Anomalies. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The tympanic bulla of South American camelids is a unique multi‐compartmental structure with an internal architecture resembling that of honeycomb. This unique configuration creates surgical challenges for the treatment of refractory otitis media cases in llamas (Lama glama).

Carotid stenting for irradiation-associated carotid stenosis 3 years after previous carotid endarterectomy [PDF]
Extracranial carotid stenosis is a known complication of external irradiation to the head and neck region. We report on a patient with previous carotid endarterectomy for irradiation-associated carotid stenosis. This patient developed symptomatic carotid

In this study, by mimicking the nanofiber structure and netting blood cells function of fibrin network in blood clots, we developed a novel bioinspired quaternized chitosan nanofiber sponge with distinct blood cell filtration and blood plasma absorption bifunction for rapid hemostasis.

Anatomical study of the carotid bifurcation and origin variations of the ascending pharyngeal and superior thyroid arteries [PDF]
Background: Human anatomy texts in current use have very little precise information as to the frequency of variations in the bifurcation of the common carotid artery, and a clear description of the relation between external and internal carotid arteries ...

The influence of anesthesia and fluid-structure interaction on simulated shear stress patterns in the carotid bifurcation of mice [PDF]
Background: Low and oscillatory wall shear stresses (WSS) near aortic bifurcations have been linked to the onset of atherosclerosis. In previous work, we calculated detailed WSS patterns in the carotid bifurcation of mice using a Fluid-structure ...

Length of carotid stenosis predicts peri-procedural stroke or death and restenosis in patients randomized to endovascular treatment or endarterectomy. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The anatomy of carotid stenosis may influence the outcome of endovascular treatment or carotid endarterectomy. Whether anatomy favors one treatment over the other in terms of safety or efficacy has not been investigated in randomized trials.

Pre‐oviposition development of the brown anole (Anolis sagrei)
Abstract Background The brown anole, Anolis sagrei, has emerged as a representative squamate species for developmental studies during the past decades. Novel functional tools have been established to manipulate embryogenesis through genome editing or the introduction of small molecule inhibitors, and their effective use requires a thorough ...

A safe transoral surgical approach to parapharyngeal tumor arising from deep lobe of parotid gland [PDF]
The management of parapharyngeal tumor is surgical, but the approach remains a challenge. Attention should be paid to avoidance intra-operative bleeding or cranial nerves damage. We report a case of a 67-year-old male complaining of left-ear fullness.
