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...

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...

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...

Inervación del músculo flexor superficial de los dedos

Int. j. morphol; 36 (2), 2018
La inervación del músculo flexor superficial de los dedos (FSD) es controversial. Diversos autores describen que los ramos de este músculo surgen independiente o desde un tronco común que proviene desde el nervio mediano, dentro de la región cubital. Otras descripciones señalan la presencia de ramo...

Effect of Sciatic Nerve Transection on acetylcholinesterase activity in spinal cord and skeletal muscles of the bullfrog Lithobates catesbeianus

Braz. j. biol; 78 (2), 2018
Abstract Sciatic nerve transection (SNT), a model for studying neuropathic pain, mimics the clinical symptoms of "phantom limb", a pain condition that arises in humans after amputation or transverse spinal lesions. In some vertebrate tissues, this condition decreases acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity,...

Sericin and swimming on histomorphometric parameters of denervated plantar muscle in Wistar rats

Einstein (Säo Paulo); 16 (1), 2018
Abstract Objective To analyze the combined effects of the silk protein sericin and swimming exercise on histomorphometry of the plantar muscle in Wistar rats. Methods Forty adult rats were randomly allocated into 5 groups comprising 8 animals each, as follows: Control, Injury, Sericin, Swim, and Swim p...

Descripción anatómica de la miología del miembro pélvico y su relación topográfica con el sistema vascular y nervioso en un ejemplar de pudú ( Pudu puda )

Int. j. morphol; 35 (4), 2017
RESUMEN: El pudú (Pudu puda) pertenece a la familia Cervidae y se estima que su población actual total es menor a 10.000 ejemplares, razón por la cual se encuentra en la categoría de "Casi Amenazado" y dentro de la lista roja de la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (IUCN). L...

A novel method for localizing nerve entry points during spasticity treatment

Int. j. morphol; 35 (3), 2017
The nerve entry points (NEPs) cannot be accurately localized for the treatment of muscle spasticity in neurolysis. The aim of this study was to develop a new method of accurately localizing nerve entry points in relation to bony landmarks. NEPs in human cadavers were coated with barium sulfate. Method 1 ...

The neurovascular structures in the triangular space of the upper limb: an anatomical study

Int. j. morphol; 35 (2), 2017
The aim of this study was to investigate the neuromuscular distribution after passing through the triangular space of the shoulder. Thirty-five specimens from 18 adult Korean cadavers (12 males and 6 females, age ranging from 42-102 years) were used in the study. This study analyzed the order in which th...
