The glenoid cavity of the scapula shows high morphological variability that has not been clearly elucidated in the literature. Its morphological aspects knowledge can be used in the sex determination, to improve the development of more functional prostheses and in the accurate image diagnostic. The purpose of the present study was to analyze and compare sex and dominance differences in the articular surface of the human glenoid cavity. Anthropometric measurements of the glenoid cavities of scapula were taken of 200 specimens, besides we developed a morphological classification system according the shape of inferior and superior poles and the presence of the glenoid notch in the anterior margin. For all anthropometric parameters, the male scapula showed higher values than the measures in female scapula both in right and left sides, but we did not find a significant difference between the left and right scapula in either sex. On the other hand, taking into consideration the anthroposcopic aspects, 50% of male and 58% of female were classified in a different morphological group when compared to the contralateral glenoid in the same individual. The present study revealed an evident sexual dimorphism and provides information about the articular surface of normal glenoid cavities to improve the diagnosis of orthopedic lesions, to produce better prosthesis and to improve the medico-legal identification

Congestion control and red-black trees, while technical in theory, have not until recently been considered appropriate. In fact, few security experts would disagree with the construction of DHCP. Though it is regularly a practical goal, it is buffeted by previous work in the field. We introduce an analysis of IPv7, which we call Lakin.

Introduction: For many years, one of the current trends has been to give to medical students the tools they need to benefit from the best possible strategic skills for the learning of medicine. Anatomy is one of the essential disciplines for the implementation of this change. This process must involve identifying the learning styles used by the students. The purpose of this work was to describe the learning styles developed by the students of the Saint-Louis Faculty of Medicine during the anatomy course

Materials and methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted among the first and second year medical students. An anonymous questionnaire was used to gather the opinion of the students.

Results: All students answered the questionnaire. The sample of 133 students was made of 98 men and 35 women. The learning styles of our students were varied, but they had a preference for intuitive methods

Conclusion: It is important to adapt the teaching of anatomy to the learning styles of our medical students. An effort must also be made to help students diversify their learning strategies.

Introduction: In the first and second years of medical studies at the Saint-Louis Faculty of Medicine in Senegal, students receive a complete teaching in anatomy. To better follow this teaching, it has been introduced tutoring in anatomy, managed by peer students. The aim of our study was to assess the global opinion of medical students on this pedagogical experience

Materials and Methods: An anonymous questionnaire combining open and closed questions was designed and administered to 133 first and second year medical students

Results: The tutored students were satisfied with the principles and objectives of tutoring, the planning, organization and running of tutoring, as well as the pedagogical relationship and the communication around tutoring

Conclusion: In anatomy, student peer tutoring is an interesting experience, as tutors act directly in the initial training of first and second year medical students.

Background: Monosodium glutamate is an important food additive used as a flavor enhancer. In spite, many investigations showed its toxicity to the human and animals. Apigenin is a natural flavonoid with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-proliferation properties. Losartan is Ang II (AT1) receptor blocker, used as an antihypertension and antifibrotic agent. The aim is to investigate apigenin and losartan protection separately and in combinations against monosodium glutamate-induced changes in the rat exocrine pancreas using histological and immunohistochemical studies.

Materials & Methods: 70 Wistar rats used, divided into 7 groups (10 rats each); Group 1: served as control, Group 2 (MSG): rats received monosodium glutamate 2 mg/g body weight/day in drinking water, Group 3 (Api): rats received apigenin 50 µg/rat/day, Group 4 (LST): rats received losartan 10 mg/kg/day, Group 5 (MSG+Api): rats treated with Api 50 µg/rat/day 30 min before MSG, Group 6 (MSG+LST): rats treated with LST 10 mg/kg/ day 30 min before MSG and Group 7 (MSG+Api+LST): rats treated with Api and LST 50 µg/rat/day and 10 mg/ kg/day respectively 30 min before MSG.

Results: MSG group showed marked acinar cell damage, apparently dilated ducts, inflammatory cellular infiltration, congested blood vessels with intimal loss and dissolution of the internal elastic lamina. These besides, significantly increased collagen fibers, significant decrease in PCNA positive acinar cell nuclei and lost E-cadherin expression. Conclusion: Apigenin and losartan combination attenuate MSG damaging effects on the exocrine pancreas. This is through their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory as well as antifibrotic effects.
