Zooarchaeological research at Qesem Cave, Israel demonstrates that large-game hunting was a regular practice by the late Lower Paleolithic period. The 400- to 200,000-year-old fallow deer assemblages from this cave provide early examples of prime-age-focused ungulate hunting, a human predator-prey relationship that has persisted into recent times. The meat diet at Qesem centered on large game a...

The aim of the study is by making osteology information given in theoretical part anatomy course more understandable practical courses; to increase effectiveness education. Three dog cadavers were used as animal material. bones cleaned with maceration method. Holes drilled on articular surface and powerful magnets embedded such a way that they facing each other. Magnets placed between head mand...

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of radiographic abnormalities of 2-year-old Thoroughbred horses that were listed at in-training sales in Japan, on whether they started to race or not at 2-3 years of age. Radiographs of 850 2-year-old Thoroughbreds in the in-training sales repository from 2007 to 2010 were reviewed, and 26 categories of radiographic abnormalities were found. Forty-thr...

Background: An opening into the bone shaft for passage of blood vessels to the medullary cavity of a bone for its nourishment and growth is called understanding of nutrient foramina in upper limb bones such as the humerus, radius and ulna. So the aim of present study was to record the location, number and direction of nutrient foramina in lon bones of the upper limb. Material and methods: A tot...

The mammalian skeleton presents an ideal system in which to study the genetic architecture of a set of related polygenic traits and the skeleton of the domestic dog (Canis familiaris) is arguably the best system in which to address the relationship between genes and anatomy. We have analyzed the genetic basis for skeletal variation in a population of >450 Portuguese Water Dogs. At this stage of...

Authors suggest to use a term polystrusctural injuries when two or more anatomic structures within either one segment extremity are injured and reconstructive treatment is required. Experience in of 256 patients with polystructural limb summarized. The consequence operations on skin, bones, muscular-ligamentous elements, vessels peripheral nerves. Main techniques for the reconstruction dependin...

We present two cases of rachipagus in two male infants and review the literature on this anomaly. These infants were from consanguineous marriages and cases of twins were reported in their families. In the first case it was a limb attached to the lower lumbar region with a rudimentary posterior arch. At the junction there was a lipomeningocele. Anatomical dissection of the limb identified the b...

Çevik-Demirkan A., V. Özdemir, İ. Türkmenoğlu, İ. Demirkan: Anatomy of the Hind Limb Skeleton of the Chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera). Acta Vet. Brno 2007, 76: 501-507. This study aimed to document the detailed features of the hind limb bones in chinchillas (Chinchilla lanigera). Twenty chinchillas (10 females and 10 males) were used. Animals were euthanized and X-ray of appendicular skeleton o...

Owls are known as silent predators of the night due to quietness of their flight. Capturing prey without any noise, that would be detectable by the owl’s prey is maintained by several features in its body and wing system. Wing bones are well developed than the pelvic limb bones. The pelvic girdle is small and contained a deep renal fossa. The fovea capitis is very much prominent on the head of ...

Cancer pain is not a single entity. It incorporates a range of aetiological, pathophysiological and anatomical subtypes, all requiring unique descriptive terminology, assessment techniques and treatment modalities. The tumour itself can press on bones, nerves and other organs. Chemotherapy drugs can cause pain at the site of administration or limb paraesthesia. Radiotherapy can cause skin eryth...
