Larger tumours may demonstrate a dural tail, "split-fat sign" (peripheral rim of perineural fat compressed by the tumour), "fascicular sign" (central small ring-like structures representing nerve fibres) or "target sign" (central low signal with surrounding high signal on T2-weighted sequence) [33].
For analysis of neurofilament accumulation in normal tissue, endplates were qualitatively assigned a score between 0 and 5, with 0 representing healthy neuromuscular junctions with no evidence of neurofilament accumulation and 5 representing nerve terminals with large abnormal accumulations of neurofilament.
These fine immunoreactive fibers may represent nerve fibers passing through the SG entering via the pallial nerve, described by Young Youngg, 1939; Young, 1972).
Prominent fibrillary white lines were also reported in long-term OrthoK treatment and were thought to represent nerve fibers in the subbasilar plexus.
Given the trend to thinning of the epidermis, normally associated with denervation [ 21], in the biopsies from some patients with breast pain, the increased intra-epidermal fibres here may represent nerve fibre sprouts following cutaneous terminal damage.
As described in the Materials and methods section, each of the lanes on the Western blots represent nerves pooled from three to five animals and the data shown is representative of independent batches of nerves.
The brightly lighted pink tunnel, perhaps 20 feet long, was lined with smaller tubes representing nerves and blood vessels.
Since the extrinsic nervous system does not directly innervate smooth muscle, these fibers could represent nerves traversing their way to the submucosal plexus.
We initially selected 3 upper face muscles (frontalis, orbicularis oculi, and corrugator) and 3 lower face muscles (zygomaticus, orbicularis oris, and buccinator) to represent facial nerve function as extensively as possible.
ATS functions are crucial and represent a nerve centre especially in degraded situations, such as unavoidable incidents, where operators' intervention is required [9]. 4.
