Topic: Invagination



  
 Early American Manual Therapy
In regard to the location of sudden acute abdominal pain we have to consider (a) the seat of pain as felt by the patient; (b) the pain elicited by pressure (tenderness); (c) local rigidity of the abdominal muscles; (d) anesthetic or hyperesthetic condition of the skin of the abdomen.
Invagination constitutes about one-third of all intestinal obstruction, and the sudden, acute abdominal pain arising from this cause is more easily interpreted.
From some twentv-five experiments in invaginating the bowel of the dog, I am sure the pain is periodic at first.

Basilar invagination: a study based on 190 surgically treated patients
The definition of basilar invagination as being prolapse of the spine into the base of the skull, as suggested by von Torklus,[46] was only appropriate to Group I. In Group II, the clivus was invaginated along with the cervical spine into the posterior cranial fossa.
Basilar invagination, a primary developmental anomaly,[19,45] has been a subject of clinical interest for some time.[4,5,7,14,20,22,26,28,29,31,32,40,45--47] Lessons learned during the management of 190 cases of basilar invagination are analyzed in this report.

Of the individuals with a clearly visualized sphenooccipital synchondrosis, the top of the dorsum sellae, which was defined as the top of the clivus, was clearly demonstrated in the MR images of 10 patients in the Chiari group and 10 in the control group.
Chiari malformation is characterized by a downward herniation of the caudal part of the cerebellum and/or medulla oblongata into the spinal canal.
These results suggest that in adult-type Chiari malformation an underdeveloped occipital bone, possibly due to underdevelopment of the occipital somite originating from the paraxial mesoderm, induces overcrowding in the posterior cranial fossa, which contains the normally developed hindbrain.

 Interactive Fly, Drosophila
Posterior fork head expression follows the amnioproctodeal invagination during gastrulation and anterior expression spreads into the invaginating primordia of the anterior midgut.
From the vertebrate biologist's viewpoint, the mystery of Drosophila Fork head is its lack of mesodermal expression.
This expression profile suggests that fork head defines both anterior and posterior gut primordia and regulates the invagination process.

The exposure of the joint in cases with basilar invagination was significantly difficult as it was rostrally located in relationship to the occipital bone.
[13],[14],[15],[16],[17] Basilar invagination is commonly associated with atlantoaxial dislocation and the complex results in a significant degree of neck pain and myelopathy adding considerably to the disability secondary to affection of other joints.
They suggested the use of Halo traction for maintaining the distracted and reduced state of both basilar invagination and atlantoaxial subluxation during positioning for surgery to avoid cord injury.

 eMedicine - Blepharoplasty, Upper Lid : Article by Gregory Caputy, MD, PhD
A deeper understanding of the dynamic nature of the upper eyelid has led to invagination techniques, largely borrowed from the Asian double-eyelid procedure, to deliver a crisp upper eyelid fold at a height that is optimum for the patient.
Begin the procedure with demarcation on the skin of the desired conservative skin resection with the patient in both upright and supine postures.
Sayoc and Millard both have published static upper eyelid fold procedures for the Asian patient, but Fernandez created the dynamic upper eyelid fold procedure largely used today.

Our experimental aim here is to clarify whether hydrostatic pressure dominates early on, making an initial "pull" unnecessary.

 FlyMove - Stage 7
During this stage, gastrulation is completed: the endodermal primordia of the anterior and posterior midgut, and the primordium of the hindgut invaginate.
The latter are superficial, short-lived structures which change their position, while advancing anteriorly as germ band elongation progresses, whilst the cephalic furrow is a deep invagination that will persist until to stage 9.
In a lateral view, three folds are clearly visible at stage 7, which diverge in a dorso-ventral direction: the cephalic furrow, the anterior transverse furrow and the posterior transverse furrow.

 Invagination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Invagination, in biology, can refer to a number of processes.
One is one of the morphogenetic processes by which an embryo takes form, and is the initial step of gastrulation, the massive reorganization of the embryo from a simple spherical ball of cells, the blastula, into a multi-layered organism, with a differentiated endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm.
More localized invaginations also occur later in embryonic development.

This elongation process pushes the posterior midgut invagination closed and compresses even further the previously flattened dorsal tissue of the embryo (the amnioserosa), even as the germ band thrusts the amnioserosa to the side.
The process of invagination is driven by the dorsal group and multiple proteins that function after fertilization: Regulating cytoskeletal changes that drive gastrulation are Concertina, Folded gastrulation, DRhoGEF2, and Rho1.
It begins soon after the start of ventral invagination, and is also a consequence of changes in cell shape requiring Rho1 and DRhoGEF2.

The entire organism, skin, bone, nerve, muscle, etc. is thus built up of cells, all derived by similar processes ultimately from the original germ cell.
In vertebrates instead of invagination there is unequal growth of parts and the development continuing, the outlines of the nervous system, digestive cavity, viscera, heart, sense-organs, etc. appear, and the specific type becomes more and more distinct, until there can be recognized the structure of the particular animal -- the fish, bird, or mammal.
At first the cells present the appearance of a bunch of grapes or the grains of a mulberry, the morula stage; the growth proceeds rapidly, a cavity forms itself inside and the blastosphere stage is reached.
