(1) The perinatal development of the levator ani (LA) muscle in male and female rats was investigated by measuring the total number of muscle units (MU) (i.e., mononucleate cells, clustered or independent myotubes, and muscle fibers) in transverse semithin sections of the entire muscle and the MU cross-sectional area in 22-day-old fetuses (F22), 1-day-old (D1 = day of birth), 3-day-old (D3), and 6-day-old (D6) newborns.
(2) A series of biochemical and behavioral experiments tested the hypothesis that anisomycin (ANI), a protein synthesis inhibitor, produced decrements in long-term memory by raising free tyrosine levels and by the accumulation of catecholamines (CAs) rather than by its primary effect on protein synthesis.
(3) The importance of the m. canalis ani and of the hitherto unknown transsphincteric course of the blood reflux from the arterially supplied corpus cavernosum for the pathogenesis of the hemorrhoidal disease as the adequate therapy are delineated.
(4) The close anatomical relation between the posterior portion of the muscle and the obturator internus suggests that the latter may play a role in supporting the weak posterior portion of the levator ani, especially during straining positions associated with lateral rotation at both hips.
(5) When ANI was given after training, it was not effective.
(6) The "startle response" ap peared earlier in the experimental ani mals, as did the development and re sponse of the electroencephalogram to novel stimuli.
(7) The authors present two cases of idiopathic pruritus ani in the same family in which psychological factors seem to play an etiological role.
(8) Control groups received either saline or ANI either 3 hours before or 3 hours after the beginning of the PS window.
(9) Demonstration of the levator ani muscle is important in evaluating children with anorectal anomalies.
(10) The sexually dimorphic spinal nucleus of the bulbocavernosus (SNB) innervates the bulbocavernosus (BC) and levator ani (LA), striated perineal muscles.
(11) A European arrest warrant was issued on Wednesday for Tunisian citizen Anis Amri, 24, two days after the attack in which at least 12 people were killed and dozens of others were injured.
(12) In all cases the ANIs function as ambient electrophiles which can undergo both electrostatic and covalent binding with nucleophilic centers of proteins and DNA bases.
(13) The M. canalis ani is located inside of the M. sphincter ani internus and reaches through the spatium submucosum et subcutaneum of the analcanal.
(14) In addition, the blood supply may be more compromised by contusion of the vessels passing vertically through the muscle fibers of the sphincter ani internus muscle during increased sphincter tone.
(15) In Group 4, 47 surgical patients without pruritus ani were treated for benign (9) and malignant (38) non-proctological diseases.
(16) Two surgical techniques were used--either a direct repair of the anal sphincter or a postanal repair of the levator ani muscles and external sphincter (Parks operation).
(17) During the last 4 years three so-called spontaneous perforations of the oesophagus were treated, twice by surgical intervention 12 anys after the rupture.
(18) Ani significantly effected on arrhythmias induced by early coronary artery ligation in rats by reducing total numbers of ectopic beats and shortening the duration of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation 30 min after coronary ligation.
(19) Forty-five patients with levator syndrome were treated by high voltage electrogalvanic stimulation of the levator ani by means of an intra-anal probe.
(20) 11am: In Hull, striking presenters play a pre-recorded radio station "Strike FM" on the picket line, accomp-anied by a Dalek.
