Complex Variations in Branches of the Axillary Artery

Int. j. morphol; 42 (4), 2024
SUMMARY: The axillary artery is a continuation of the subclavian artery and transitions into the brachial artery. Variations in the axillary artery are not uncommon. During the upper-limb dissection of a 95-year-old Korean female cadaver, assorted anatomical variations of the axillary artery branches wer...

Sihler's Staining of the Thoracic Cutaneous Nerve and its Significance

Int. j. morphol; 42 (4), 2024
SUMMARY: Our team has modified Sihler's intramuscular nerve staining method to allow for calculation of nerve density. Therefore, this study aimed to show the overall distribution pattern of the thoracic cutaneous nerves to provide a morphological basis for selecting and matching sensory reconstruction d...

Compressive Structures of the Median Nerve at the Elbow

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: The objective of this study was to analyze the potential for compression of the median nerve (MN) caused by the bicipital aponeurosis (BA), the humeral and ulnar heads of the pronator teres muscle (PTM) and the arcade of the flexor digitorum superficialis muscle (FDS) in recently deceased cadave...

Morphology and Morphometry of the Dorsal Interosseous Muscles of the Hand: Laterality and Sexual Dimorphism

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: The dorsal interosseous muscles (DIM) are intrinsic muscles of the hand located dorsally between metacarpal bones, which play a role in finger abduction. Anatomical variations of these muscles in terms of form and length have been well documented, but variations regarding sex and laterality are ...

The Accessory Muscular Head of the Triceps Brachii Muscle with Tendinous Attachment

Int. j. morphol; 42 (1), 2024
SUMMARY: Variations in the triceps brachii muscle are uncommon, and especially limited reports exist on the accessory heads of tendinous origin that attach near the upper medial part of the humerus. During anatomical training at Nagasaki University School of Medicine, the accessory head of the triceps br...

Anatomical and Ultrasonographic Analyses of the Levator Labii Superioris Alaeque Nasi Muscle at the Level of the Nasal Ala

Int. j. morphol; 42 (1), 2024
SUMMARY: We aimed to determine the width of the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle (LLSAN) at the level of the nasal ala through cadaveric dissections and ultrasonography (US), to provide essential anatomical information for use during both invasive and noninvasive procedures in the nasal ala r...

Análise clínica da atividade de trabalho de agentes funerários no nordeste brasileiro

Psicol. ciênc. prof; 44 (), 2024
Especializados na gestão dos processos da morte e do morrer, os agentes funerários são uma categoria profissional indispensável na sociedade contemporânea. Estudar esses profissionais, marcados por alto grau de invisibilidade social, torna-se extremamente relevante, sobretudo concebendo-os como suje...

Unusual Anastomosis between Branches of the Ulnar Nerve (Kaplan Type Anastomotic Variant) - Case Report

Rev. Bras. Ortop. (Online); 59 (supl.1), 2024
Abstract The Kaplan anastomosis is a rare communication originally described between the superficial and dorsal branches of the ulnar nerve, distal to the ulnar tunnel, and in strict relation with the pisiform bone. It reveals, by its particular location, a formation of high clinical-surgical expressiven...

Anatomic barriers to paraspinal blocks: a cadaver case series

Braz. J. Anesth. (Impr.); 73 (6), 2023
Abstract The paraspinal space is intriguing in nature. There are several needle tip placements described in compact anatomical spaces. This has led to an incertitude regarding the appropriate anatomic locations for needle tip positions. Through our cadaver models we try to resolve the issues surrounding ...

An Unusual Anatomical Variation of Accessory Left Gastric Artery Arising from Left Hepatic Artery

Int. j. morphol; 41 (6), 2023
SUMMARY: The stomach receives a rich blood supply from five sets of arteries, all of which originate from the celiac trunk. During the dissection of a female cadaver that had been fixed with formalin, an atypical branching pattern was observed. An accessory left gastric artery was found to originate from...
