Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycaemia. It may be due toa decrease in the synthesis of insulin (Type-I diabetes) or due to a decrease in the secretion of insulinfrom beta-cells of islets of the pancreas (Type-II diabetes) [25]. The increased glucose level generatesglucose auto oxidation and auto oxidative glycosylation of proteins, which leads to oxidative stress byincreasing the reactive oxygen species...

The brain ventricular system consists of a series of interconnecting spaces and channels in the brain.The lateral ventricle (LV) within each cerebral hemisphere lies in a large C-shaped configuration. TheLVs communicate with the third ventricle (TdV) through the interventricular foramen (foramen ofMonro), which is a slit like a midline cavity lying between the right and left halves of the diencephalon...

Recent studies show that the cerebellum contributes to higher cognitive functions as well as its role on motor system. It is thought that higher cognitive functions continue to develop during childhood and adolescence; therefore, cerebellum develops significantly during these periods. 

Studies evaluating the mean volumes of nasal cavity and concha are very rare. Since there is little date on the mentioned topic, we aimed to carry out the presented study to obtain a volumetric index showing the relation between the nasal cavity and concha. 

Changes in the number and size of oocytes can lead to fertilization problems. The present study aimed to evaluate the number, volume, and surface area of oocytes in healthy as well as nandrolone decanoate-treated (ND) mice using stereological methods. Five control mice received vehicle, and five ND-treated mice received ND...

Tinnitus is a commonly encountered complaint in patients of daily otolaryngology practice, but there is still little known about its underlying pathophysiology, aetiology, and effective treatment. Although pulsatile tinnitus can have numerous causes, it is easier for the clinician to find out the underlying pathology by radiological studies and treat tinnitus by surgical means [22]. It is challenging to find the underlying cause of non-pulsatile tinnitus, because of its subjective nature...
