Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal

Thirty six cases of giant cell fibroma of the oral cavity in Thai patients were clinico-pathologically analyzed. The results showed that giant celll fibroma occurred in all age groups with the predilection for the third decade of life. No significant sex predilection of occurrence was noted. Clinically, the lesions presented as sessile or pedunculated masses with either smooth or papillary surface. Most of the lesions were under 10 mm in diameter. The most common location was the gingiva. Microscopically, the lesion was composed of large stellate-shaped mononuclear and multinuclear cells in a highly vascularized loose connective tissue.

Virginia Journal of Science

From the Introduction:

Estuary-Associated Syndrome (EAS) is the name given to a potential illness characterized primarily by changes in an individual's cognitive abilities, including acute onset of memory loss or the sudden inability to solve simple problems. Other possible signs of illness include respiratory symptoms, skin rash, or gastrointestinal distress. This illness appears to arise following exposure to toxin produced by Pfiesteria piscicida, or other toxic dinoflagellates, that resides in estuary waters.

In order to learn more about this possible syndrome and to determine if a causal relationship exists between association to waters containing Pfiesteria or other toxic …

Determination Of Kinetic, Structural And Functional Changes In The Hearts Of Dogs With Experimentally Introduced Myocardial Infarction Using M-Mode And 2-D Echocardiography, Utku Bakirel, Tarik Bi̇lal

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

In this study, the kinetic, structural and functional changes of the ventriculus in dogs with myocardial infarction introduced experimentally were examined using M-Mode and two dimensional (2-D) echocardiography. 21 healthy, mixed-breed dogs of both genders (16 females and 5 males) and of various ages were used in this study. Different coronary arteries were ligated in each dog with silk sutures and the dogs were grouped accordingly: left distalis descending coronary artery (Group I, n=7), right distalis descending coronary artery (Group II, n=7) and both left and right distalis decending coronary artery (Group III, n=7). All the dogs were examined using …
