Method: Systematic review study performed according to the ...

Comparison of the efficacy of losartan, hydrocortisone and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in preventing the development of fibrous scar tissue in skeletal muscle

Rev. bras. med. esporte; 24 (6), 2018
OBJECTIVE: To analyze fibrous scar tissue inhibition capacity with the use of losartan, hydrocortisone and acetylsalicylic acid. METHOD: The sample consisted of 120 male heterogeneic Wistar rats with a muscle laceration model. The rats were divided into four groups of 30 animals each: control group, losa...

Comparison betweent the effects of swimming and treadmill-based aerobic training protocols in diabetic rats

Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) can cause damage to several physiological systems.Objectives: To compare and characterize the effects of aerobic exercise training (ET) performed by swimming with those of ET performed on a treadmill on the skeletal muscle and heart of rats with DM1. Methods: 4...

Anterior interosseous nerve: anatomical study and clinical implications

ABSTRACT Objective: The goal of this study was to describe anatomical variations and clinical implications of anterior interosseous nerve. In complete anterior interosseous nerve palsy, the patient is unable to flex the distal phalanx of the thumb and index finger; in incomplete anterior interosseous ne...

Innervation of subclavius muscle: an anatomical study

Int. j. morphol; 36 (3), 2018
This study was aimed to provide accurate parameters to localize the nerve endings for subclavius muscle belly and to investigate the basic information on nerve innervations on subclavius muscle. Twenty-two adult non-embalmed cadavers (7 males and 4 females) with a mean age of 68.7 years (range, 43-88 yea...

Morphological analysis of articularis genus and involvement in muscle synchronicity with vastus intermedius

Int. j. morphol; 36 (3), 2018
The articularis genus, which lies under the vastus intermedius, has been regarded as part of the quadriceps femoris. However, they are well known to have different function because their respective origins and insertions are mutually distinct. These muscles are considered to work almost simultaneously wh...

Localization of the nerve entry points of thigh adductor muscles by spiral computed tomography: a novel anatomical guide for chemical neurolysis in treating muscle spasticity

Int. j. morphol; 36 (3), 2018
The nerve entry points (NEPs) cannot yet be accurately localized for the treatment of thigh adductor muscles spasticity in chemical neurolysis. The aim of this study was to identify the location and depth of the NEPs of thigh adductor muscles by spiral computed tomography (CT) and bony landmarks. Forty l...

Anatomical parameters of the rectus capitis posterior major and obliqus capitis inferior muscles based on an oblique sagittal magnetic resonance scan method

Int. j. morphol; 36 (3), 2018
The deep suboccipital muscles has been shown to connect the spinal dura mater via dense connective tissue termed the myodural bridge (MDB). The MDB has both physiological and clinical implications. Data on morphological and imaging anatomical parameters of the deep suboccipital muscles are scare. In this...

Anatomic variations in relation to the origin of the musculocutaneous nerve: absence and non-perforation of the coracobrachialis muscle: anatomical study and clinical significance

Int. j. morphol; 36 (2), 2018
The most frequent anatomic variations of the musculocutaneous nerve could be divided in two main groups: communicating branches with the median nerve and variations in relation to the origin, which in turn can be subdivided into absence of the nerve and non-perforation of the coracobrachialis muscle. Unu...
