Abstract

A morphometric study of the trigeminal ganglion after unilateral vibrissae follicles' coagulation in newborn mice has shown the following: (a) a 42.8% decrease of the total volume of the ganglion on the deafferented side with reference to the normal side; a 61.5% decrease of the ophthalmic-maxillary part of the ganglion where neurons whose axons innervate vibrissae follicles are located, and only a 24.1% decrease in the common part; (b) a 54.8% decrease of the neuronal cell body volume in the ophthalmic-maxillary part and practically no change in the common part, and (c) a 64.5% decrease of the volume occupied by the nerve fibers in the ophthalmic-maxillary part and only a 28.1% decrease in the common part. A comparison of the section areas in ganglion and of the bulk area of neuronal cell bodies at different levels has also been performed. Counting of the neuronal cell bodies in the ophthalmic-maxillary part of the ganglion indicated a mean neuronal loss of 36.5%. Peripheral reinnervation of the common fur by regenerated axons of neurons which previously innervated vibrissae, although unlikely, cannot be completely excluded.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
