      Objective. Disorganization of acinar cell apical microvilli and the presence of stromal collagen in the acinar lumen suggest that the labial salivary gland (LSG) barrier function is impaired in patients with Sjögren's ...
    • Molina, Claudio; Uribe, Cristián; Heras, Álvaro; Astorga, Cristián; Lemus, Jorge; Rodríguez, Alberto (2011)
      The dual innervation of the brachialis muscle by the musculocutaneos nerve and branches from the radial nerve has been described by some anatomical texts and several scientific papers; however, there is no consensus about ...
