However, both modalities rely on size-related and morphological criteria to differentiate between benign and malignant lymph nodes, decreasing the sensitivity for detection of small metastases.
The morphological criteria originally used to discriminate between these strains and to assign them to different genera obviously reflect differential genetic editing primarily associated with cell differentiation and functional heterocyst formation rather than their phylogenetic relationships.
No correlations were found between plaque morphological criteria used in the present study (i.e., calcifications and histological complications) and the occurrence of chronic ischemic cardiopathy, chronic obstructive bronchopneumonia, chronic renal failure, smoke, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or therapy with acetylsalicylic acid or statins (data not shown, chi-square test).
In order to partially alleviate this problem and provide genetic information on an earlier basis, we plan to obtain information on morphological traits and expect to find a correlation between one or several morphological criteria and direct or maternal effects on dystocia.
The distinction between balanced and unbalanced spermatozoa on morphological criteria is still unfeasible.
In the absence of clinical, definite biological and morphological criteria, the diagnosis of drug hepatopathy relies predominantly on causal relationship between the drug administration and the occurrence of the therapeutic accident.
Some morphological criteria (strong delineation, hypoechoic texture, homogeneity) have been reported to help differentiate between malignant and benign pigmented blue lesions, but remain insufficient.
Morphological criteria have also been identified as valuable diagnostic tools[3].
All adults and metacercariae were initially identified using morphological criteria.
These events are defined by a set of morphological criteria.
