    Cephalopelvic disproportion is common among Africans and is a major cause of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. As the dimensions of the pelvis may vary between populations and according to stature and age, ...
  • Clinical anatomy of the maxillary nerve block in pediatric patients 
    Prigge, Lane; Van Schoor, Albert-Neels; Bosman, Marius C.; Bosenberg, Adrian T. (Wiley, 2014-11)
    BACKGROUND : Anatomical landmarks in children are mostly extrapolated from studies in adults. Despite this, complex regional anesthetic procedures are frequently performed on pediatric patients. Sophisticated imaging ...
  • A comparison of the palmaris longus and plantaris muscles employed as flaps in reconstructive surgery 
    Van Schoor, Albert-Neels; Bosman, Marius C.; Venter, G.; Creative Studios, Dept of Education Innovation, University of Pretoria (2009-12-09)
    Tendon grafts are often needed in reconstructive surgery. A donor tendon is usually selected for transfer because it is thought to be nonessential in its original location. This is the case with the palmaris longus (PL) ...
  • The contribution of prenatal stress to the pathogenesis of autism as a neurobiological developmental disorder : a dizygotic twin study 
    Claassen, M.; Naude, H.; Pretorius, Etheresia; Bosman, Marius C. (Taylor & Francis, 2008-07)
    This paper reports on the contribution of prenatal stress to the pathogenesis of autism as a neurobiological developmental disorder in a dizygotic study. The aim was to explore whether the neurobiological impact of stress ...
  • Degenerative trends of the palmaris longus muscle in a South African population 
    Venter, Gerda; Van Schoor, Albert-Neels; Bosman, Marius C. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-03)
    The literature reports that the palmaris longus muscle (PL) is only found in mammals in which the forelimbs are weight-bearing extremities. It is suggested that the function of this muscle has been taken over by the other ...
  • Descriptive study of the differences in the level of the conus medullaris in four different age groups 
    Van Schoor, Albert-Neels; Bosman, Marius C.; Bosenberg, A.T. (Wiley, 2015-07)
    In performing neuraxial procedures, knowledge of the location of the conus medullaris in patients of all ages is important. The aim of this study was to determine the location of conus medullaris in a sample of newborn/infant ...
  • Determining the extent of the dural sac for the performance of caudal epidural blocks in newborns 
    Van Schoor, Albert-Neels; Bosman, Marius C.; Venter, Gerda; Bösenberg, Adrian T. (Wiley, 2018-10)
    BACKGROUND : Information regarding the position and relationship of vital structures within the caudal canal is important for anesthesiologists who perform a caudal block. This information can be acquired by anatomical ...
  • Dimensions of the cervical spinal canal in the South African negroid population 
    Bosman, Marius C.; Pretorius, Etheresia; Becker, Piet J.; Tossel, G.; Boon, J.M. (Johannes Marinus); Creative Studios, Dept of Education Innovation, University of Pretoria (2008-09-29)
    The dimensions of the cervical spinal canal (C3 – C7) of the South African black population were measured on skeletal remains of 179 individuals (90 males and 89 females divided into age categories of 30-45; 46-60 and 61-75 ...
  • Femoral nerve blocks : a comparison of neonatal and adult anatomy 
    Van Schoor, Albert-Neels; Bosman, Marius C.; Bosenberg, A.T.; Creative Studios, Dept of Education Innovation, University of Pretoria (2009-12-09)
    The femoral nerve (FN) block is regarded as the quickest and most effective method of pain relief for femoral shaft fractures when general anaesthesia is contra-indicated. Correct placement of the needle relies heavily on ...
