  • An anatomical assessment of brain infarcts : a MRI study 
    Briers, Nanette; Bosman, Marius C.; Becker, Piet J.; Potgieter, J.; Creative Studios, Dept of Education Innovation, University of Pretoria (2008-09-29)
    An infarct is an area which has lost its blood supply due to obstruction, thrombosis or embolism. It is the third leading cause of death in the Western world, following non-cerebral cardiovascular disease and cancer. This ...
  • The anatomical basis of the submandibular gland and its clinical importance. a cadaver study 
    Bosman, Marius C.; Basson, N.; Creative Studios, Dept of Education Innovation, University of Pretoria (2009-12-09)
    The submandibular gland can be involved in a variety of different diseases. Although tumours of the gland are rare, it is difficult to distinguish whether it is malignant or benign and a final diagnosis is often only ...
  • The anatomical basis of venographic filling defects of the transverse sinus 
    Briers, Nanette; Bosman, Marius C.; Strydom, M.A.; Steyn, S.; Creative Studios, Dept of Education Innovation, University of Pretoria (2008-09-29)
    Obstruction of the intracranial dural venous sinuses would result in an increase in intracranial dural venous pressure. This intracranial hypertension is not only the result of poor cerebral venous drainage, but is also ...
  • Anatomical considerations of the neonatal ilio-inguinal/ iliohypogastric nerve block 
    Van Schoor, Albert-Neels; Bosman, Marius C.; Bosenberg, A.T.; Creative Studios, Dept of Education Innovation, University of Pretoria (2009-12-09)
    The ilioinguinal/ iliohypogastric nerve block is an effective technique that provides analgesia for a variety of inguinal surgical procedures in children. However, a relatively high failure rate of between 20-30% has been ...
  • 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) ...
  • 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 ...
  • Infraclavicular brachial plexus blocks. 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 infraclavicular (IC) block has been designed to effectively block all the cords and branches of the (BP). However, the majority of paediatric research available uses techniques designed employing adult samples. Although ...
  • Neonatal anatomy relevant for lumbar and caudal epidural blocks 
    Van Schoor, Albert-Neels; Bosman, Marius C.; Bosenberg, A.T.; Creative Studios, Dept of Education Innovation, University of Pretoria (2009-12-09)
    Many anaesthesiologists not used to working with paediatric patients may lack the knowledge of relative depths or position of key anatomical structures, as it is known that the anatomy of children differ to some degree ...
  • A possible phylogenetic degeneration of the palmaris longus muscle 
    Van Schoor, Albert-Neels; Bosman, Marius C.; Venter, G.; Creative Studios, Dept of Education Innovation, University of Pretoria (2009-12-09)
    Variations in the human muscular system are common and may vary with the side of the body or sex of the subject. The palmaris longus muscle (PL) is subject to variability. PL is frequently found to be missing without any ...
  • The prevalence and morphology of the palmaris longus muscle employed as flaps in reconstructive surgery 
    Van Schoor, Albert-Neels; Bosman, Marius C.; Venter, G.; Creative Studios, Dept of Education Innovation, University of Pretoria (2008-09-29)
    The desire to replace missing tissue in the human body has existed since the beginning of medicine. A donor flap is usually selected for transfer because it is thought to be nonessential in its original location, meaning ...
  • The size, branching pattern and anatomical relationships of the dorsal pedal aretery on the dorsum of the foot: a cadaver study 
    Briers, Nanette; Bosman, Marius C.; Van der Merwe, L.; Creative Studios, Dept of Education Innovation, University of Pretoria (2009-12-09)
    Surgical techniques such as ankle arthroscopy and reconstructive flap surgery have made detailed knowledge of the dorsal pedal artery (DPA) and the deep fibular nerve (DFN) on the foot dorsum essential. The aims of this ...

    Bosman, Marius C.; Du Plessis, M.; Navsa, Nadia (2008-09-29)
    It is well known that pain experienced by patients diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia or facial pain syndrome can be effectively treated by blocking the contents of the pterygopalatine fossa. Such a procedure is not widely ...
