spicule

To obtain clean spicule preparations for SEM observation and LM slides excised sponge was dissolved in test tubes containing 65% nitric acid.

The facies analysis of the Formation revealed ooidal-peloidal grainstones, bioclastic-peloidal grainstones, bioclastic-intraclastic-peloidal grainstones, bioclastic-peloidal packstones, peloidal-ooidal-bioclastic wacke-packstones, peloidal-bioclastic wackestones, bioclastic mudstones, spicule rich mudstone microfacies anddolostone facies.

The morphometric characters viz., body length, body width, stylet length, stylet cone, stylet shaft, length and width of stylet knobs, DGO, head to metacorpus distance, head to SE-pore position and spicule length showed little difference between two populations (Fig.

In contrast, the patient we report had persistent respiratory signs and symptoms and concomitant TSPyV-positive (by PCR) respiratory samples in conjunction with varying forms of skin lesion lacking the characteristic spicule form of trichodysplasia spinulosa.

Transection of the facial nerve by an adjacent bone spicule; 3.

In addition, the bone of contention was "can such a small bony spicule be a source of craniofacial pain?" Although it is inviting to speculate that the intricate vascular and diverse neural networks within the tensor tympani muscle attached to the pterygoid hamulus as a plausible explanation, it cannot be substantiated by the scarcity of reports published in the literature.

Left spicule 980 long, with a handle shorter than lamina representing the 27% of the spicule length; lamina consisting of a portion with membranous alae and a terminal filament or flagellum, and portion with membranous alae longer than filament (Fig.

The following morphometric data were analyzed: L, total body length; MBW, maximum body width; ABW, analbody width; VBW, vulval-body width; EP, distance from anterior end to excretory pore; ES, distance from anterior end to base of esophagus; GuL, gubernaculum length; GuW, gubernaculum width; NR, nerve-ring position; STL, stoma length; STW, stoma width; SpL, spicule length; SpW, spicule width; TL, tail length, TRL, testis-reflection length; D, EP/ ES; E, EP/TL; GS, GuL/SpL; V%, (L/length to vagina) x 100.

The method presented permits analysis of parameters including spicule formation, cytoplasmic condensation, the number and characteristics of nucleoli, and cell adhesion characteristics.

No studies have yet been conducted to determine whether spicule deposits by the same sponge community are presently taking place in karstic lakes, as well as the processes involved in the present deposit formation.

Fundus changes in retinitis pigmentosa include waxy pallor of optic disc (black arrow), arteriolar attenuation (white arrow head) and bony spicule pigmentation (white arrow) in the mid-peripheral fundus, which is predominantly populated by rods.
