Anomalous digastric muscle may be an incidental finding during routine dissections or autopsies which may be asymptomatic or symptomatic. While performing routine educational dissection of the submandibular region of the neck, we encountered a unique bilateral composition of the digastric muscle. The posterior belly of digastric displayed a bifid origin. Two muscle bellies emanating from the di...

a lunatic, an inmate of the asylum at Benares, went to drink water at the pump, when suddenly he got a fit of epilepsy, which he had been subject to for years, and fell on his belly against the corner of the pucca masonry of the bathing platform. The warder on duty saw him fall heavily, and soon after he seemed to recover and walked back to his cell, where he had been confined owing to violent ...

Prune belly syndrome is a rare congenital disorder of the urinary system, characterized by a triad of abnormalities. The aetiology is not known. Many infants are either stillborn or die within the first few weeks of life from severe lung or kidney problems, or a combination of congenital anomalies.

Large sardinella (Sardinella maderensis and Sardinella aurita) in warm waters off the coast of Africa are known to be a challenge for pelagic trawl sampling, for example during acoustic surveys for abundance estimation. We observed the swimming behaviour of sardinella mixed with other pelagic species, mainly Cunene horse mackerel (Trachurus trecae), during sampling with a pelagic trawl in the c...

Prune belly syndrome is a rare abnormality; its association with VACTERL is even rarer. This association has been reported in literature a few times since first reported in 1993 and so far the majority have either been stillbirths or died shortly after birth. We present a case of Prune belly syndrome associated with VACTERL who is now one year old.

Abstract. We present the first opportunity to study mercury in fur of a water deer that recently entered Russia.13 samples from 7 animals (fur was taken back and belly) were collected similarly World Health Organization recommendations for humans. The mean concentration total 0.01 0.003 mg/kg, which roughly coincides with other herbivorous animals. For more accurate assessment, it is necessary ...

BACKGROUND The dynamic changes of anterior mitral leaflet (AML) curvature are of primary importance for optimal left ventricular filling and emptying but are incompletely characterized. METHODS AND RESULTS Sixteen radiopaque markers were sutured to the AML in 11 sheep, and 4-dimensional marker coordinates were acquired with biplane videofluoroscopy. A surface subdivision algorithm was applied...

The belly button is one of the habitats closest to us, and yet it remains relatively unexplored. We analyzed bacteria and arachaea from the belly buttons of humans from two different populations sampled within a nation-wide citizen science project. We examined bacterial and archaeal phylotypes present and their diversity using multiplex pyrosequencing of 16S rDNA libraries. We then tested the o...
