For example, in areas with more aircraft noise, more people were receiving medical treatment for heart trouble and had a "pathological heart shape".
Computational Anatomy aims to model and analyze healthy and pathological distributions of organ shapes.
It is expected that in coming years molecular pathological epidemiology will importantly shape the way, in which omics-research is conducted and interpreted.
Although this could explain why there is a difference in shape between pathological and healthy human vertebrae, it does not explain the relationship identified between pathological human and chimpanzee vertebrae.
(ii) The external shape is used to distinguish normal patient states (circle) from pathological states (square or square derivative).
Knowledge of normal anatomy of the saccule is important in order to identify size and shape modifications in pathological conditions.
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) refers to pathological contact between an abnormally shaped femoral head and acetabulum, which can result in early labral and chondral damage.
The pupils were isochoric and round shaped without any pathological light reflex.
The role pathological immune responses play in shaping the evolution of parasite virulence is an important question that has not previously been empirically addressed.
