In this research, anatomical descriptions of the structure of the temporal bone and auditory ossicles have been performed based on dissection of ten guinea pigs. The results showed that, in guinea pig temporal bone was similar to other animals and had three parts; squamous, tympanic and petrous .The tympanic part was much better developed and consisted of oval shaped tympanic bulla with many re...

OBJECTIVES To study the morphology and topography of nutrient foramina and to determine the foraminal index of the upper limb long bones. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study comprised 243 upper limb long bones, which included humeri, radii, and ulnae. The nutrient foramina were identified macroscopically in all the bones and an elastic rubber band was applied around these foramina. The bones were...

An 8-year-old girl was referred to our department because of generalized bowing of long bones (radii, ulnae, and femora) and significant bilateral and symmetrical posteromedial bowing of the tibiae and fibulae. The femora were laterally bowed whereas the tibiae and fibulae showed posteromedial bowing between the middle and distal thirds of the tibia with posterior cortical thickening effectivel...

enchymal dysplasia of bone that is diagnosed by a characteristic linear cortical hyperostosis with a flowing candle wax appearance (1-3). It commonly affects long bones, usually in the lower limb and on one side of the body. The involvement of flat bones is rare (1, 2). In addition, bilateral involvement is extremely rare, with only one case of long tubular bones with a symmetric distribution r...

the aim of this study was to determine the anatomical features of the auditory ossicles in rat. twenty temporal bones from 10 adult rats were used. the features of the ossicles were assessed with an ocular micrometer and photographed by a stereomicroscope. finally, all data were evaluated and analysed using the sigma statt software. temporal bone in rat was similar to other animals consists of ...

Congenital bowing of many long bones in a single individual is comparatively rare and Angle (1954), in a review of the English literature, found only eight reported cases. On the other hand, bowing of individual long bones occurs with greater frequency, the same author reviewing 12 cases of anterior and 14 cases of posterior tibial angulation and three cases with bilateral involvement of the fe...

conclusions a high index of suspicion is required for the early diagnosis and prompt treatment of patients with osseous tuberculosis. given the high prevalence of tuberculosis in developing countries, tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of multifocal lytic lesions and vertebra plana, especially in children. introduction multifocal skeletal tuberculosis is a rare cond...

BACKGROUND Skeletal-related events (SREs; pathologic fracture [PF], spinal cord compression and radiation or surgery to bone) are common complications of bone metastases or bone lesions and can impose a considerable burden on patients and healthcare systems. In this study, the healthcare resource utilisation (HRU) associated with PFs in patients with bone metastases or lesions secondary to soli...
