  • 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 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 ...
  • A cadaver study on the anatomical variation and branching of the anterior cerebral artery 
    Briers, Nanette; Odendaal, C.W.; Creative Studios, Dept of Education Innovation, University of Pretoria (2009-12-09)
    The cortical branches of the distal anterior cerebral artery (ACA) are responsible for the primary blood supply of the corpus callosum. Anatomical variation in these arteries leads to difficulty in defining a standard ...
  • 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 ...
