National Journal of Clinical Anatomy Abstract Background and aim of the study: The clavicle is a subcutaneous bone most frequently fractured at the junction of its lateral and middle third of the shaft. Anatomical variations of the curvatures of clavicle can be of relevance for surgical correction procedures like intramedullary or internal plate fixation. The aim of the present study was to obs...

OBJECTIVES To clarify the anatomical distribution of the lingual artery in normal adult subjects through histopathologic evaluations. METHODS Eighteen healthy cadaveric tongues were used to produce 8 paraffin-embedded tissue sections each. Length from midline raphe, depth from dorsum of tongue and the whole transverse length tongue were measured. The lateral distance, depth, and proportion of...

This article investigates the nonlinear, steady boundary layer flow and heat transfer of an incompressible Eyring-Powell non-Newtonian fluid from an isothermal sphere with Biot number effects. The transformed conservation equations are solved numerically subject to physically appropriate boundary conditions using a second-order accurate implicit finite-difference Keller Box technique. The influ...

allometric growth pattern and body shape changes of the green terror (andinoacara rivulatus)(cichlidae) were studied using landmark-based geometric morphometric (gm) and traditional methods, from hatching up to 1266 hours post hatching (hph) under culture conditions. the left side of specimens were photographed using digital camera and morphometric characters, including total length, head lengt...

Length of paired clavicles of northwest Indians of Chandigarh zone was measured in 748 male and 252 female adults (18 to 90 years), 45 male and 30 female children and adolescents (11⁄2 to 17 years), 13 male and 12 female newborns (> 300 mm CR length) and 28 male and 24 female fetuses (32 to 299 mm CR length). In children and adults, the left bone was longer than the right. In fetuses and newbor...

introduction : lateral osteotomy is a major part of rhinoplasty for remodeling external facet of the nose and narrowing of nasal base and dorsum after removal of the hump with the edema and ecchymosis being the major sequels of the operation. the present study compared post-operative edema and ecchymosis and mucosa tears between internal and external osteotomy techniques. materials and methods ...

Objective- The aim of the present survey was to evaluate whether the results of cardiac measurements using the VHS are a useful indicator of the origin of normal rabbits. Design- Experimental study. Animals- Forty seven adult healthy New Zealand White rabbits (25 male, 22 female) with age 10-18 months and weight 1.5-2.5 Kg. Procedures- To assess the influence of breed on the vertebral heart ...

The jugular foramen (JF) varies in shape and size from side to side in the same cranium, and in different crania, racial groups and sexes. Side dominance is also said to be common. The foramen's irregular shape, its formation by two bones and the numerous nerves and venous channels that pass through it further compound its anatomy. A morphometric study of 20 (40 JF) adult male Nigerian dry skul...
