Prevalence of the palmaris longus through clinical evaluationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions It has been suggested that this tendon is rapidly disappearing in humans. The results of our study show a relatively high incidence of tendon absence and pointed to more pronounced loss of the muscle on the left side.

The Normal Genital Tract of the Female California Sea Lion (Zalophus californianus): Cyclic Changes in Histomorphology and Hormone Receptor Distribution.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Changes in reproductive tract histomorphology, and estrogen (ERalpha) and progesterone receptor (PR) expression throughout the breeding cycle were evaluated in free-ranging stranded female California sea lions (Zalophus californianus). Hormone receptor expression in the ovaries, uterus, cervix, and vagina was evaluated using an immunohistochemical technique with monoclonal antibodies. During a large portion of the cycle, ovaries contained both a corpora lutea (CL) and follicles in varying stages of development. In the periods of pupping and estrus during June and July, and in the spring morphologic features of the endo...

The impact of interactive, computerized educational modules on preclinical medical educationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This study examined the effects of a new series of interactive learning modules for preclinical medical education, specifically in the areas of quiz performance, perceived difficulty of concepts, study time, and perceived stress level. We randomly allocated 102 medical student volunteers into control and experimental groups. All participants studied selected anatomical and physiologic concepts using existing material (lecture notes, textbooks, etc.), while those in the experimental groups used the new interactive modules as well. All participants completed a quiz to test their knowledge of the assigned concepts and a surve...

The precision of four commonly used surgical landmarks for locating the facial nerve in anterograde parotidectomy in humans.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In addition to using intra-operative facial nerve monitoring in helping to locate the position of the facial nerve in anterograde parotidectomy, numerous soft tissue and bony landmarks have been proposed to assist the surgeon in the early identification of this nerve. There is still dispute within the literature as to the most effective method, if any, of locating the nerve. The purpose of this study was to measure the distance (in twenty-six embalmed cadavers) from four of the most commonly used surgical landmarks to the main trunk of the facial nerve-the posterior belly of digastric muscle (PBDM), the tragal pointer ...

Surgical Clinical Correlates in Anatomy: Design and implementation of a first-year medical school programEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Medical students state the need for a clinically oriented anatomy class so to maximize their learning experience. We hypothesize that the first-year medical students, who take the Surgical Clinical Correlates in Anatomy program, will perform better than their peers in their anatomy course, their surgical clerkships and ultimately choose surgical residencies. We designed and recently implemented this program for first-year medical students. It consisted of General Surgical Knowledge, Orthopedic Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Urology, Cardiothoracic Surgery, General Surgery, Vascular Surgery, and Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) sessi...

Near-peer teaching in anatomy: An approach for deeper learningEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This study describes the design and implementation of a program for fourth year medical students to teach anatomy to first- and second-year medical students and evaluates the perceptions of the near-peer teachers on the usefulness of the program, particularly in relation to their own learning. Feedback from participants suggests that the program fulfills its aims of providing an effective environment for developing deeper learning in anatomy through teaching. Participants recognize that the program also equips them with more advanced teaching skills that will be required as they move nearer toward taking on supervisory and...

Anat Rec (Hoboken). 2008 May;291(5):502-12 Authors: Rosas A, Peña-Melián A, García-Tabernero A, Bastir M, De La Rasilla M, Fortea J We addressed the brain drainage system as inferred by the endocranial morphology of the occipito-temporal region of the El Sidrón Neandertal specimen SD-1219. Morphological details of the endocranial surface and its anatomical implications were analyzed for the reconstruction of the dural sinus drainage pattern and its comparison with Neandertals and other...

Anatomical modifications of the mid palatal suture during ageing: a radiographic studyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This study has shown that the age of mid palatal total obliteration was variable. The obliteration begins in the anterior and in the superior part of the palate. The inferior part of the junction between the palatal processes is the last part of the suture to be obliterated.

Sagittal craniofacial growth evaluated on children dry skulls using V2 and V3 canal openings as referencesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between standard cephalometric landmarks and lines and those using ovale, rotundum, greater palatine and infra-orbital foramina as references. Thirty-four children dry skulls, 19 males and 15 females aged 0–6 years, were examined by computed tomography scanning. The classical cephalometric dimensions of skull base were measured from middle sagittal plane crossing over basion, nasion and sella turcica. Those of hard palate (maxilla and palatine bone) were measured from axial plane intersecting posterior nasal spine and anterior nasa...

Symphysis pubis distance in adults: a retrospective computed tomography studyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Osteoarthritic changes develop in SP with ageing. However, osteoarthritis in SP, was found to be clinically and radiologically different from that in other symphyseal joints, as SP hardly ever moves, and vertically processing interpubic disc combines pelvis girdle with counterforces, and is supported by very strong ligaments and muscles. Anterior and middle part of the SP joint is wider in women, because fibrocartilaginous disc is too thick to provide the mobility.

Anatomical terminology and nomenclature: past, present and highlightsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract The anatomical terminology is a base for medical communication. It is elaborated into a nomenclature in Latin. Its history goes back to 1895, when the first Latin anatomical nomenclature was published as Basiliensia Nomina Anatomica. It was followed by seven revisions (Jenaiensia Nomina Anatomica 1935, Parisiensia Nomina Anatomica 1955, Nomina Anatomica 2nd to 6th edition 1960–1989). The last revision, Terminologia Anatomica, (TA) created by the Federative Committee on Anatomical Terminology and approved by the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists, was published in 1998.

Clinical anatomy of the retrocalcaneal bursaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract The goal of the study was to perform a detailed anatomical description of the retrocalcaneal bursa (RB). Its morphological arrangement was studied on 10 fresh and 30 embalmed lower extremities by microdissection and light microscopy. The RB was present constantly and in all the cases contained 1–2 cm long synovial fold, beginning on the upper wall of RB and distally interposed between the anterior surface of the Achilles tendon and the posterior surface of the calcaneal tuberosity. The volume of RB was 1–1.5 ml. The histological analysis confirmed that the inner surface of the superior...
