The thoracolumbar junction is often associated with traumatic injuries, due to its biomechanical instability. Reasons for this instability are currently still under debate; however, contributing factors such as the rapid ...
PURPOSE : To measure the slope of the medial and lateral posterior horn of the meniscus and its contribution to the overall resulting posterior tibial slope (bone and meniscus combined slope) in anterior cruciate ligament–intact ...
Numerous aspects of early hominin biology remain debated or simply unknown.
However, recent developments in high-resolution imaging techniques have opened new avenues in
the field of paleoanthropology. More specifically, ...

Statins, the standard treatment for hypercholesterolaemia, among the most widely prescribed, have been associated with side effects, including statin intolerance. The aim of this study was to determine the background ...
The aim of this study was to identify cardiovascular effects of relevant concentrations of Cd and Hg alone and in combination as a mixture in water. This was achieved by administering to male Sprague–Dawley rats via gavage ...

BACKGROUND : Sub-Saharan neurosurgeons most likely need to perform invasive procedures without the latest imaging and navigation technology in the operating room. Therefore, these surgeons need to utilize other methods ...
The small-bodied Miocene catarrhine Pliobates cataloniae (11.6 Ma, Spain) displays a mosaic of catarrhine symplesiomorphies and hominoid synapomorphies that hinders deciphering its phylogenetic relationships. Based on ...
Pliopithecoids are an extinct group of catarrhine primates from the Miocene of Eurasia. More than 50 years ago, they were linked to hylobatids due to some morphological similarities, but most subsequent studies have supported ...

PURPOSE: To determine whether femoral epicondylar width (FECW) obtained from either magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) or plain radiographs could be used to predict anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) length. A secondary purpose ...

OBJECTS: The worldwide prevalence of cerebral aneurysms is estimated at 3.2%, with a female predominance of 2:1. A significant gender-specific difference also exists regarding the aneurysm location. This study
aimed to ...
Endocasts (i.e., replicas of the inner surface of the bony braincase) constitute a critical
proxy for qualifying and quantifying variations in brain shape and organization in
extinct taxa. In the absence of brain tissues ...

The association between hypercoagulability and use of drospirenone (DRSP) and ethinylestradiol (EE) containing
combined oral contraceptives (COCs) is an important clinical concern. We have previously reported that
the ...

Surgical access to the posterior knee poses a high-risk for neurovascular damage. The study aimed to define the popliteal fossa by reliable bony landmarks and comprehensively mapping the neurovascular structures for ...
Greenwood, Kelsi; Van Zyl, Reinette; Keough, Natalie; Hohmann, Erik(Springer, 2021-08)
PURPOSE : Minimally invasive surgery in the posterior knee is high risk for iatrogenic injury to popliteal neurovascular neurovasculature structures. This study aimed to use reliable landmarks to define safe zones for ...

INTRODUCTION : We determine the location of the common facial vein (CFV) in a sample of neonates and assess the safety of this vein as an alternative access route for a central venous catheter (CVC).
MATERIALS AND METHODS ...
Skeletal and dental data for subadult analyses obtained from dry bones or various types of medical images, such as computed tomography (CT) scans or conventional radiographs/x-rays, should be consistent and repeatable to ...

Functional morphology of the atlas reflects multiple aspects of an organism’s biology. More specifically,
its shape indicates patterns of head mobility, while the size of its vascular foramina reflects blood flow
to the ...
Knowledge of the normal arterial diameter at a given anatomical point is the first step towards quantifying the severity of cardiovascular diseases. According to several studies, parameters such as age, weight, height, ...
