The Role of IL-6 in Inflammatory Aortic Aneurysmal Diseases
… results in life-threatening aortic aneurysms and dissections. Precise mechanisms by which IL-6 signaling induces leukocyte recruitment remain unknown. In this study, we employed two experimental animal models to study the role of IL-6 activation in the development and progression of aortic …

Virtual Fetal Pig Dissection As An Agent Of Knowledge Acquisition And Attitudinal Change In Female High School Biology Students
… by examining the students' attitudes toward dissections, computer usage in the classroom, and toward biology both before and after the dissections using pre and post surveys. Significant results in positive gain scores were found in the virtual dissection group's attitude toward dissections, …

Mechanism of local IL-6 production and its role in accelerating vascular inflammation leading to aortic diseases
… mostly in the adventitia of sporadic aortic dissections in humans. There was concomitant macrophage recruitment, adventitial expansion, and development of thoracic and suprarenal aortic aneurysms and dissections in treated wild-type mice. In contrast, no dissections were produced with …

Blurring the Lines: Private and Public Dissection in Renaissance Italy
… be practiced for a variety of purposes. Private dissections, in the forms of judicial, holy, and maternal anatomies, were performed, respectively, for the purposes of generating medical evidence that could be used in court, finding markings inside of a holy individual's body that would confirm …

Effects of Habitat on Physiology and Infection in Aquatic Turtles
… No turtles out of 100 were shedding Salmonella. Dissections of 73 turtles, however, revealed that turtles in the region had a moderate prevalence (11%) of Salmonella infection. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).

The auditory system of the minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) : a potential fatty sound reception pathway in a mysticete cetacean
… understanding hearing in baleen whales through dissections, biomedical imaging, biochemical analyses, and modeling sound propagation through a whale head using the Finite Element Method (FEM). We focused on the minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) because it is one of the smallest and most …

Computational fluid dynamics as aid tool for the management of aortic wall diseases
Aortic aneurysms and dissections are pathological conditions affecting the aorta. Despite being different in clinical presentation, these pathologies share a high mortality rate, as well as a lack of reliable prognostic predictors. Local fluid dynamics is assumed to play a role in aortic …

Oesophageal pressure and motility with special reference to the mechanism of deglutition
… detail, either deliberately or by chance. · All dissections, experiments and microscopical and other examinations were conducted by the author and some specimens personally blocked, Out and stained. The liberal use of illustrations clarifies many points which otherwise would not have been so …

Contrasting contrastive and supervised models interpretability
… sparsity experiments, and saliency maps. Network dissections of self-supervised contrastive and supervised models show that the neurons of the contrastive model tend to learn about different parts of an object (ie. top-half of a dog or left-half of a person) while the neurons of the supervised …

Fibroblasts: Key Cells in Inflammation and Fibrosis
… mice leads to the development of aortic dissections and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). IL-6 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that is secreted by fibroblasts and macrophages in the aortic adventitia and promotes the development of aortic dissections. In our previous work, analysis of …

Lymph node metastasis in auricular squamous cell carcinoma
… out The anatomical study comprised 5 cadaveric dissections. They showed that the first echelon nodes draining the auricle lie in the superficial parotid gland, post-auricular/ mastoid nodal group and level II of the neck. There are anastamotic pathways around the mastoid and post-auricular nodes …

Novel strategies to increase Sirtuin-1 activity in aortic aneurysm
… of aortic dilatations (aneurysms) and dissections. Therefore, finding ways to increase SirT1 activity in the aortic wall has the potential of inhibiting MMP and elastin degradation, thereby preventing aortic aneurysm/dissections. Unfortunately, small molecules and polyphenolic compounds …

True Anterior Hip Approach by Anatomical dissection
… hip approach Material and Methods: Cadaveric dissections were done on 51 femoral triangles of 26 cadevers. We measured length of the direct head of rectus femoris from anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to patella upper pole, ASIS to lateral border of femoral nerve, and entry point of …

The vocalizations and syringeal anatomy of the common crow, Corvus brachyrhynchos
… crow were not documented in this study. Careful dissections of 55 common crows collected in the field revealed that four pairs of bronchial rings, five tracheal rings, one pair of external tympaniform membranes, one pair of auxiliary membranes, and six pairs of muscles are the components of sound …

Curiosity and the Ideal: Anatomical Investigation and the Gendered Imagination in Sixteenth-Century Florentine Art
… they are even reported to have performed dissections themselves. Several artists became involved with projects to illustrate medical texts, but many produced drawings of anatomy independent of such projects, which suggests how important this was as a form of intellectual and visual …

The anatomy theater
… in cities all over Europe, anatomists performed dissections open to the general public, and they circulated illustrations which had a remarkable resemblance to the pornography of the period. I wrote the first section of The Anatomy Theater in response to these images, hoping to enter the images …
