OBJECTIVE To investigate the anatomic relationship between the superficial radial nerve (SRN) and the cephalic vein (CV) through ultrasonography due to the possibility of SRN injury during cephalic venipuncture. METHODS Both forearms of 51 healthy volunteers with no history of trauma or surgery were examined in proximal to distal direction using ultrasonography. We measured the distance betwe...

Introduction The cephalic vein begins at the radial end of the dorsal venous arch at the back of the hand, winds around the radial border of the forearm, and ascends in the arm on the lateral side of the biceps brachii muscle. The vein lies within the superficial fascia, and pierces the deep fascia to drain into axillary vein in the shoulder region [1, 2]. The origin of the basilic vein is the ...

This study aims to compare behavioral and hematological parameters of 12 dogs with demodectic mange infection before after the treatment. Following parasitological examination, an appropriate treatment protocol was planned for diagnosed demodex canis. Blood samples were collected from cephalic vein transferred into vacuum tubes containing EDTA A complete blood count performed all dogs. Behavior...

Introduction: Renal Replacement Therapy is the treatment modality for chronic kidney disease (CKD) which ranges from hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis to renal transplantation, latter being best form of treatment. But, transplantation available at limited centers only so hemodialysis most commonly used requires a vascular access. But there are surgeons in region arterio-venous (AV) fistulas rec...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this report was to discuss validity of pacemaker surgery for elderly individuals over 90 years old. PATIENT We operated on 12 individuals over 90 years old who had syncope or congestive heart failure in association with bradycardia, between January 2005 and November 2012. METHODS All 12 patients were referred to us by the cardiology department of our hospital for pacema...

Introduction: The creation and maintenance of uninterrupted Haemodialysis (HD) is dependent on the quality reliability vascular access. native Radio-cephalic Arteriovenous Fistula (RCAVF) access choice for HD in patients with end stage renal diseases. A thorough understanding anatomy critical selecting site RCAVF that provides flow rates necessary development an optimal outflow vein. widespread...

Abstract Aim Up to 20% of arterio-venous fistulas (AVFs) may fail mature become usable for renal access in patients on Haemodialysis (HD). There is no consensus benefit branch ligation. This study aimed assess the outcomes ligation maturation these AVFs. Methods Electronic patient records and Renalware were accessed obtain data procedures done at secondary care centre from 2016 till 2021. Resul...

In the treatment of the soft tissue defect of the elbow, flap reconstruction is necessitated in many cases because of thinness of soft tissue at this region. In addition, reacquirement of tactile sensation is desirable because of the anatomical and specific functions of the elbow. Of three cases treated for elbow defects, one was reconstructed with a pedicled island forearm flap containing the ...
