  • Assessment of the variability in the dimensions of the intact pelvic canal in South Africans : a pilot study 
    Jagesur, Suvasha; Wiid, A.; Pretorius, Samantha; Bosman, Marius C.; Oettle, Anna Catherina (Elsevier, 2017-01)
    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 ...
  • 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 ...
  • Neurophobia : a side effect of neuroanatomy education? 
    Venter, Gerda; Lubbe, J.C. (Irene); Bosman, Marius C. (Springer, 2022-11)
    Neuroanatomy in the medical curriculum tends to be challenging for both lecturers and students. Students and lecturers perceive the relevance and importance of neuroanatomy differently. If not taught sufficiently, students ...
  • Neurophobia : the inconvenient truth 
    Venter, Gerda; Bosman, Marius C.; Lubbe, Johanna (Spanish Association of Anatomy, 2023-09)
    Medical schools have implemented strategies in response to neurophobia to counteract the negative perception and improve neuroscience experiences for undergraduate medical students. In this study, we explored the attitudes, ...
  • Revisiting the anatomy of the ilio-inguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block 
    Van Schoor, Albert-Neels; Bosman, Marius C.; Bosenberg, A. T. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-05)
    BACKGROUND : The ilio-inguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block (INB) is one of the most common peripheral nerve block techniques in pediatric anesthesia, which is largely due to the introduction of ultrasound (US) guidance. ...
  • A theoretical alternative intraosseous infusion site in severely hypovolemic children 
    Mogale, Nkhensani; Van Schoor, Albert-Neels; Bosman, Marius C. (AOSIS OpenJournals, 2015-07-23)
    BACKGROUND : Studies have shown that the venous system tends to collapse during hypovolemic shock. The use of the bone marrow space for infusions is an effective alternative, with the tibial insertion site being the ...
  • The value of Tuffier's line for neonatal neuraxial procedures 
    Van Schoor, Albert-Neels; Bosman, Marius C.; Bosenberg, A.T. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-04)
    The spine of L4 usually lies on a line drawn between the highest points of the iliac crests (Tuffier’s line) in adults. Although its accuracy has been questioned, it is still commonly used to identify the spinous process ...
  • The value of Tuffier’s line for neonatal neuraxial procedures 
    Van Schoor, Albert-Neels; Bosman, Marius C.; Bosenberg, A.T. (Wiley, 2013-02-13)
    The spine of L4 usually lies on a line drawn between the highest points of the iliac crests (Tuffier’s line) in adults. Although its accuracy has been questioned, it is still commonly used to identify the spinous process ...
