A comparison of 3D ultrasound to MRI for the measurement and estimation of gastrocnemius muscle volume in adults and young people with and without cerebral palsy
ConclusionsThe 3DUS is a valid method for the measurement of MV in adults, TD children and those with CP. Estimation methods of MV may be useful in clinical practise, but require further replication on various populations and careful methodological consideration.This article is protected by copyright.

Optimal Axis for Lumbosacral Interbody Fusion: Prospective Finite Element Analysis and Retrospective 3D ‐CT Measurement
ConclusionsThe feasible and optimal axis of biomechanical and anatomic significance of the AxiaLIF is similar to the axis of the MCF model. Disc bone graft fusions plus axial screw fixations of middle column could strengthen the biomechanical stability of the AxiaLIF model.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Topographical study of the connections of the rami communicantes from the first to the fifth thoracic sympathetic ganglia
This study investigated the morphological variations and histological patterns of the rami communicantes (RCs) arising from the first to the fifth thoracic sympathetic ganglia, and considered the clinical significance of these variations. Fifty upper thoracic portions from 26 adult Korean cadavers were used in this study. There were 731 RCs arising from the first to the fifth thoracic sympathetic ganglia. They were classified into three types depending on the connection between the sympathetic ganglion and the intercostal nerves: in type I, the RCs connected the ganglion to the corresponding intercostal nerve, and in types...

The Majority of Piriformis Muscles are Innervated by the Superior Gluteal Nerve
CONCLUSIONSThe most common nerve branches to the piriformis are from the superior gluteal nerve, and the ventral rami of S1 and S2. Based on our study, a single ‘nerve to piriformis' does not exist in the majority of specimens thus this term should be abandoned.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Eponymous “valves” of the nasolacrimal drainage apparatus. II. Frequency of visualization on dacryocystography
We examined 92 normal DS‐DCGs on patients aged 14–82 years (71% female, 29% male). We observed “valves” most reliably in the inferior nasolacrimal duct: the inferior valve of Hasner (plica lacrimalis) was present in 98.9% of cases, and more superiorly, the valve of Taillefer (93.5%) and the valve of Krause (79.3%). Contrastingly, we infrequently identified the very superior “valves”: Foltz or Bochdalek in 17.1%, Rosenmüller or Huschke in 46.4%, and Auberat in 40% of cases. Therefore, unlike the inferior NDA valves, these more superior “valves” were less consistently identified and are presumed to be simple...

Eponymous “valves” of the nasolacrimal drainage apparatus. I. A historical review
The nasolacrimal drainage apparatus (NDA) is of interest to anatomists, radiologists, and ophthalmologists alike, owing to its intricate luminal contour, complex surrounding structural morphology, and its clinical relevance. Here, we review the history of anatomical descriptions of so ‐called luminal “valves” of the NDA, including the numerous historical figures whose eponyms adorn the NDA. By 1908, multiple false “valves” that are likely no more than mounds of mucosa along the NDA had been recorded. In the modern era, these have all been largely considered speculative in nature and function aside from the consis...

Retracing the observations and footsteps of Beauch êne fils
Throughout the years, scientific and personal research has led us on a historical journey to learn about the life of Beauch êne fils (Edme François Chauvot de Beauchêne), a French clinical anatomist, prosector, and surgeon responsible for introducing the disarticulated skull technique and the first citation of an intraneural cyst. This letter describes our research, travels, and conversations intended to uncover the f ascinating history of Beauchêne fils and his family and our journey full of unexpected twists and turns. During a trip to Paris, we learned of a possible inspiration for the disarticulated skull technique...
