BACKGROUND The triceps brachii muscle, the strongest extensor of the elbow joint, is characterized by the three heads: long, lateral and medial. OBJECTIVES In the present study we aimed to examine the linear parameters (length, width) of the fetal triceps brachii muscle and to provide their growth dynamics. MATERIAL AND METHODS Using anatomical dissection, digital image analysis (Multiscan ...

A young adult male pedestrian was struck by a car and sustained a closed complete rupture of both heads of the biceps brachii muscle belly, among other injuries. Rupture of the biceps brachii muscle belly is a rare injury, and complete muscle belly rupture of both long and short heads from direct blunt force trauma has not been reported outside of military parachutists. We describe the findings...

Crossbred pigs (n = 315) were blocked by initial BW (6.8 ± 1.1 kg) and randomly assigned to 1 of 4 dietary treatments to evaluate the effects of dietary inclusion of tallow and corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) on pig growth, carcass traits, and pork fat quality. Diets consisted of a corn-soybean meal control diet (CON) and another 3 corn-soybean meal diets containing 5% tallow ...

This work firstly introduces some of the priors of Quantum Biophysical Semeiotics (QBS), necessary to grasp the meaning and significance of deterministic chaos and quantum behavior in biological systems. Secondly, some experimental clinical evidences of Water Memory-Information are presented and explained through QBS tools, which are able to state if there is activity improvement of well define...

Many amphibian tadpoles hatch and swim before their inner ears and sense of spatial orientation differentiate. We describe upward and downward swimming responses in hatchling Xenopus laevis tadpoles from stages 32 to 37/38 in which the body rotates about its longitudinal axis. Tadpoles are heavier than water and, if touched while lying on the substratum, they reliably swim upwards, often in a t...

Though anomalies of the superior belly of the omohyoid have been described in medical literature, absence of superior belly of omohyoid is rarely reported. Herein, we report a rare case of unilateral absence of muscular part of superior belly of omohyoid. During laboratory dissections for medical undergraduate students, unusual morphology of the superior belly of the omohyoid muscle has been ob...

purpose: to determine the anatomical location of the inferior oblique (io) muscle and any possible correlation between io overaction and io muscle mass. methods: in this interventional case series, eyes undergoing primary surgery for io overaction underwent measurement of the distance between io muscle borders from the limbus as well as muscle belly circumference, intraoperatively. results: ove...
