BACKGROUND The supratrochlear foramen (STF) of the humerus has been a neglected entity in standard anatomy and orthopaedics text-books. The knowledge of the presence of STF in a humerus may be important for preoperative planning for treatment of supracondylar fractures. The presence of STF may also result in erroneous interpretation of radiographs. METHODS The STF was studied in detail in 384...

Background and Aim: In the present study, the cerebral surface landmarks in human fresh autopsy specimens were investigated. Methods and Materials/Patients: Totally, 37 fresh adult autopsy human brain specimens from the Rasht Forensic Medicine Center were enrolled. Four specimens were excluded because of some traumatic injuries to cerebral cortex. Demographic information of all cases was obt...

Introduction: Any foramen in the buccal surface of mandibular body that transfers mental nerve and vessels except mental foramen, is called Accessory Mental Foramen (AMF). The objective of this study was the determination of the AMF using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods:  this descriptive study was done on 180 CBCT projections which were selected by convenience samp...

this study was carried out to investigate the histological and anatomical description of the male genital tract in iranian native white roosters (iwr). the seminiferous tubules had a dense and compact organization. an average of 12 layers of cells was seen in the seminiferous tubules epithelium. the spermatogonal cell layer showed some variation between different birds in 1-3 layers; however, t...

Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the body fat parameters in individuals with and without metabolic syndrome using an objective method. Materials and methods: This case-control study was performed in Tehran and consisted of 105 individuals with age range of 20 to 55 years. All participants were overweight and obese. NCEP ATP III criteria were used for identifying subjec...

Objective(s): This study was undertaken to determine the role of computed tomography (CT)-based methodology to segment the SI joint and quantify the metabolic activity using positron emission tomography (PET). We measured tracer uptake in the right and left SI joints independently to look for differences between the two sides. Further, we correlated tracer uptake with ...

The purpose of this study was to accurately quantify contralateral differences of the scaphoid in three-dimensional space to evaluate the feasibility of using the healthy contralateral bone as a reconstruction template in the preoperative planning of complex mal- or nonunions. Three-dimensional surface models of the left and right scaphoids were reconstructed from computed tomography images and...

This study aims to assess the characteristics of internal iliac artery and examine correlations between other anatomic structures in pelvis. A cross-sectional was conducted period October 2019 May 2020. Eighteen samples left right arteries were taken from formaldehyde-embalmed female cadavers at Ho Chi Minh City University Medicine Pharmacy Department Anatomy. The showed that origins most locat...

BACKGROUND Since morphometric data on the upper end of the humerus from Indian anatomical samples are scarce, this study was undertaken with reference to orthopedic surgery. The aim was to determine the length, width and depth of the bicipital groove and to find the incidence of a supratubercular ridge of Meyer in an Indian population. METHODS The study included 104 unpaired dry humeri (48 ri...
