Interactive Atlas of the Canine Brain, Heart and Kidney Created from Plastinated Samples

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: Currently, training in the field of anatomy requires the implementation of learning and knowledge technologies (TAC). Therefore, the objective of this work was to use digital images taken of plastinated canine brains, hearts, and kidneys to create an interactive atlas that facilitates the teachi...

Modified Goldner Trichrome for Non-decalcified Mineralized Tissue Plastinated and Embedded in Resin

Int. j. morphol; 42 (2), 2024
SUMMARY: Over time, Goldner's trichrome staining has been essential in paraffin soft tissue research. However, its classic application involves prior decalcification, generating disadvantages in the integrity of the samples and the interpretation of results. This study seeks to overcome the limitations a...

First Experience of Plastination at 4150 Meters Above Sea Level, at the Altitude of La Paz, Bolivia

Int. j. morphol; 41 (6), 2023
SUMMARY: Despite attempts to develop the plastination technique in Bolivia, standardized results have not yet been achieved that could be communicated via scientific publications. There is a great deal of misunderstanding around the technique, confusing it with classic techniques of inclusion in differen...

Conservation of Organs (Heart, Brain and Kidney) of Canine by Cold-Temperature Silicone Plastination in an Animal Anatomy Laboratory in Ecuador

Int. j. morphol; 41 (4), 2023
SUMMARY: For the purposes of teaching anatomy, the use of cadaver preparations is considered the most efficient way of ensuring that students retain knowledge. Nevertheless, in Ecuador the use of animal specimens in universities must comply with the internationally accepted principles of replacement, red...

Internal Structural Connections in the Popliteus Tendon Complex with Posterior Cruciate Ligament and Clinical Implications

Int. j. morphol; 41 (3), 2023
SUMMARY: At present, the anatomical relationship the mid-portion of popliteus tendon complex (PTC) and the surrounding tissues is still unclear, especially its relationship to the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). It affected the anatomical reconstruction of the posterolateral complex (PLC) injury. A to...

A Clinical and Anatomical Study on the Localization of the Temporal Branch of the Facial Nerve Crossing the Zygomatic Arch

Int. j. morphol; 41 (3), 2023
SUMMARY: To clarify the path of the temporal branch of facial nerve (TB) crossing the zygomatic arch (ZA). Eighteen fresh adult heads specimens were carefully dissected in the zygomatic region, with the location of TB as well as its number documented. The hierarchical relationship between the temporal br...

Variaciones anatómicas de las arterias radial y ulnar en miembros superiores plastinados

Int. j. morphol; 41 (2), 2023
Los avances en el área de la salud, con el desarrollo de nuevos procedimientos diagnósticos y quirúrgicos, requieren un conocimiento cada vez más preciso de la anatomía humana. La difusión de la disposición variable de la anatomía resulta primordial no sólo en el campo de la especialización o e...

Detailed anatomy of the corpora-glans ligament via the P45 plastination method

Int. j. morphol; 41 (1), 2023
SUMMARY: The corporo-glans ligament is the ligament connecting the corpus cavernosum and the glans of the penis. The anatomical description of the corporo-glans ligaments shape is still uncertain, this knowledge affects penile reconstructive procedures. The anatomy of the corporo-glans ligament was analy...

Applying a unified model of fiber dissection, tractography, microscopic anatomy and plastination techniques for basic neuroanatomy education: Hacettepe University experience

Int. j. morphol; 40 (6), 2022
SUMMARY: Anatomy education has gathered together a great many of many new modalities and was modified from classical lecture-based and laboratory practice system to the blended modules. In the scope of the present study, we develop a new, practical, cost- effective and efficient three dimensional (3D) ed...

Development of an interactive multidisciplinary platform for the bovine neuroanatomy study

Int. j. morphol; 40 (6), 2022
SUMMARY: The anatomy study is part of the basic cycle of disciplines that composes Veterinary Medicine college curriculum, and its comprehension is essential for other courses subject understanding. However, the current student's profile, the reduced time frame of superior education programs, and the mul...
