Morphometric Variation of Acromion Process in A Bangladeshi Population

Morphometric parameters of the acromion process in adult human scapulae

Introduction: In scapula, the acromion process projects forwards almost at right angles from the lateral end of the spine. The coracoacromian ligament spans between tip of acromian and coracoid process thus it forms coraco-acromial arch. The space below the arch gives passage to the tendons of muscles forming musculorotator cuff. As morphometry of the acromion process of the scapula is an impor...

Morphometry of acromion process of human scapulae and its clinical importance amongst Nepalese population.

BACKGROUND Morphometry of the acromion process of the scapula is an important factor implicated in impingement syndrome of the shoulder joint. Authors who have studied this process have tried to classify it according to the standard Bigliani classification viz., type 1, 2 and 3. OBJECTIVES To analyze and classify the acromion process of human scapulae. METHODS The present study was observat...

On Separate Acromion Process Simulating Fracture

Renin Gene Polymorphisms in Bangladeshi Hypertensive Population

OBJECTIVE Linkages of renin gene polymorphisms with hypertension have been implicated in several populations with contrasting results. Present study aims to assess the pattern of renin gene polymorphisms in Bangladeshi hypertensive individuals. METHODOLOGY Introns 1, 9 of renin gene and 4063 bases upstream of promoter sequence of renin gene were amplified from the genomic DNA of the total 124...

A morphometric study of the lumbar spinous process in the Chinese population

Our goal was to analyze the anatomical parameters of the lumbar spine spinous process for an interspinous stabilization device designed for the Chinese population and to offer an anatomical basis for its clinical application. The posterior lumbar spines (T12-S1) of 52 adult cadavers were used for measuring the following: distance between two adjacent spinous processes (DB), distance across two ...
