... Abstract The disk of hyaline cartilage that is interposed between the epiphysis and the metaphysis of each of the long bones is responsible for its elongation, and, thus, when the lower limbs are concerned, for increases in bodily height. This so-called growth plate is avascular, aneural...

..., but it is not precise enough to detect most of the viscoelastic impairments of functional squints. The authors have noted important and frequent anomalies of muscle stretching; they describe the operative features ofa muscle elongation test in various types of strabismic deviations. ...

... Abstract Study of the muscle elongation test in 211 patients with convergent squints who have never been operated on previously reveals that about 35 % of cases display abnormal muscle stretching; 48 cases retain a lasting anesthetic angle in spite of a normal elongation test. Particularly...

... Abstract The human eye undergoes extensive changes during early childhood, including axial elongation, corneal flattening and reduced lens power. Animal studies have shown that removing the crystalline lens during infancy retards axial elongation. Axial elongation has been studied in children...

... Abstract High myopia is defined as a refractive error greater than –8 dptr or an axial length of 26 mm or more. The progressive posterior elongation of the eye contributes to the development of a posterior staphyloma and retinal and choroidal disturbances due to the shearing forces within...

... Abstract Elongation of bones primarily occurs by endochondral ossification at the growth plate. In the growth plate, stem-like cells in the resting zone differentiate into rapidly dividing chondrocytes in the proliferative zone and then terminally differentiate into nondividing chondrocytes...

... for the retinal surgeon. In thepresent study, we tried to verify the cause of this biomechanical effect. Retinal samples of postmortemporcine eyes were treated with ICG and light and compared to samples treated in darkness using biomechanicalforce and elongation measurements. After ICG staining of the retina...

... Abstract Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are elongations of the milk sugar lactose by galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, fucose; and sialic acid. The HMO composition of breast milk is strongly influenced by polymorphisms of the maternal fucosyltransferases, FUT2 and FUT3, and by the stage...

.... These tumors may be solitary or multiple, appear creamy-white in color and may contain calcified areas. Histopathologically, they are composed of elongated fibrous astrocytes. Most tumors are stable throughout life and do not require treatment. Acquired retinal astrocytomas are not associated with tuberous...

... clarifies protein-mediated processes of inhibition and disinhibition at the cellular level. These include protein-mediated interactions that adjust cell growth and elongation patterns to the time of day and annual cycle. This occurs as environmental influences like light, temperature, and water activate...

...-bone elongation in his presentation on bone growth: Elongation of the Long Bones in Humans by the Growth Plates. This process occurs at a defined anatomical site aptly termed the growth plate, just proximal to the joint, where specialized cells drive elongation events as they traverse the sequential...

... and are gradually replaced by bone. Postnatally, remnants of embryonic chondrocytes remain in a restricted domain between the ossified regions of the bones forming the growth plate. The coordinated proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes ensures the continuous elongation of the epiphyseal growth plates...

... Abstract Salivary glands across the animal kingdom show a huge array of shapes, sizes and variations in number within the oral cavity. Some are branched, others elongated and unbranched, some are small and numerous, while others are greatly enlarged. In most species the salivary glands are used...

..., Hkb and Ribbon, and downregulation of Moesin-dependent apical stiffness promotes elongation of the salivary gland lumen. Integrin-mediated adhesion between the gland and surrounding mesoderm, coupled with Rho GTPase-mediated contraction of the proximal gland cells and downregulation of E-cadherin...

... ultraviolet light(UVA) with or without the photosensitizer, 8-methoxypsoralen (8MOP). Sodium azide (NaN3), a singlet oxygen quencher, or deuterium oxide, which elongates the life time of singlet oxygen, were also added in these experiments. The lipid peroxidation was detectable by observing malondialdehyde...

... Abstract (1) In functional squints, it is necessary to assess, in each case, the exact and particular role played by innervational and viscoelastic impairments by carrying out a thorough clinical examination, an electro-oculographic recording and the anesthetic and muscle elongation tests...

..., ZnCl2, and GdCl3, a trivalent lanthanide. It was found that a concentration about 10 times higher was required for elongation and formation of wider filaments with CaCl2 when compared with that for ZnCl2. GdCl3 caused enhanced polymerization with an even lower concentration. Effects of fixation(s...
