  • Nervous System

CONT

A two step splenic denervation procedure was performed. Initially, the splenic bundle(including splenic artery, vein and nerve) was visualized and the splenic nerve was dissected free of surrounding connective tissue and sectioned at the base of the bundle. Subsequently, the individual arteries projecting to the spleen were identified and the sympathtic nerve adjoining each vessel was sectioned. Denervation was considered complete when splenic nerve recordings completed after denervation demonstrated no sympathetic nerve activity.

Additional small pieces of organs and tissues were stored in formalin in case they might be needed at a later date (called stock tissue).

Unless the organs are specifically kept for teaching purposes, the dissected organs are usually disposed of when the autopsy report has been finalized or within a short time thereafter. Microscopic slides and the paraffin blocks from which they are prepared are usually kept for a number of years and may be kept indefinitely. Stock tissue or small pieces of organs and tissues that are preserved in formalin may be kept for months or years before they are disposed.

Subject field(s)
  • Vascular Surgery
CONT

A femoral-popliteal bypass graft is the favoured treatment for occlusive disease of the superficial femoral artery. Usually, the patient's own long saphenous vein is used for the graft, a technique known as autogenous bypass grafting. Conventionally, the vein is dissected out from the groin to the knee, and its tributaries ligated. The vein is then reversed, so that the valves do not obstruct the blood flow, and joined to the common femoral artery above and the popliteal below.

OBS

femoropopliteal bypass. The anastomosis of a vascular graft to the femoral and popliteal arteries in order to bypass occlusive disease on the superficial femoral artery.

The carcasses were immediately scalded, feather picked and eviscerated, and then chilled overnight in a refrigerator at 4 degree in order to facilitate the removal of the abdominal pad. The dissection of carcasses was performed according to the procedure described by Jensen(1984), and the abdominal fat pad was removed according to the method outlined by Fancher & Jensen(1989). From one side breast and one thigh plus drumstick of each bird, meat(with skin) was excised and weighed separately. Total meat yields for both breast and thighs(including drumsticks) were calculated as the amount of meat excises xx 2. Weights of the dissected parts of the carcasses and of breast and thigh meat were determined to the nearest 1 g, while those of the abdominal fat pad and organs(liver, heart and gizzard) were measured to the nearest 0.., 1 g. Samples of liver, breast meat and thigh plus drumstick meat were removed and frozen(-20 degree) until analysed.

  • Mathematics
DEF

The construction of a square whose area is equal to a definite integral.

CONT

One preoccupation of the Greeks was known as quadrature, or squaring : finding the area of a closed shape in the plane. The word quadrature refers to the nature of the problem : to express the area of any shape in terms of units of area-that is, squares. To the Greeks that meant the given shape had to be transformed into an equivalent one whose area could be found from fundamental principles.... The quadrature of any polygon follows immediately, because a polygon can always be dissected into triangles. Among the more intriguing... problems of mathematics has been the squaring of curved figures.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mathématiques
CONT

Les anciens Grecs ne calculaient pas les mesures des aires, mais les comparaient entre elles en déterminant leurs rapports. En particulier, ils comparaient les aires des surfaces à frontière curviligne aux aires des surfaces à frontière rectiligne. La quadrature d'une surface est étymologiquement la construction par la règle et le compas d'un carré ayant même aire que la surface considérée.

Regional distribution of myogenic cells in developing chick leg buds was investigated using an in vitro clonal assay. Leg buds were embedded in gelatin and sectioned at intervals of 100-300. mu. m utilizing a vibratome, and cells dissected from prospective myogenic areas were analyzed for their ability to form colonies containing multinucleated myotubes. Muscle colony-forming(MCF) cells from stage 23(3. 5-4 day incubation) are exclusively of the early morphological type and are found in the proximal two-thirds of the bud.
