Scanning and transmission electron microscopical investigations revealed that Genés organ in unfed and ovipositing females of Dermacentor reticulatus is formed as a double-sac-structure consisting of an outer epithelial and an inner cuticular sac. In ovipositing ticks the latter emerges through the

[The significance of the structural characteristics of the sphenoid sinuses in the development of sphenoiditis].

Boenko SK, L'vov LM, Danil'chenko SA, Buriak LA, Tsygankov VA.AbstractMedicolegal autopsies show a great incidence of sphenoiditides (63.3%) with a prevalent chronic atrophy (48%). Frontal and asymmetric presentation of the posterior cribrate cells about the sphenoid sinuses proved an unfavorable regional anatomic factor underlying dysfunction of the shunt drainage. Sphenoiditides are also promoted by digestions of the Vidian nerve canal producing harbours at the base of the sphenoid pterygoid process. Identification of anatomical factors of risk and characterization of the mucosal defects can be conducted at additional x-ray examination.
