A 55 year old female, presented with atypical chest pain of 1 hour duration. On examination her vital parameters were normal and there was no gross cardiovascular abnormality. Electrocardiogram revealed slight ST depression in infero-lateral leads. On stress test there was slight increase in ST depressions. Chest skiagram and transthoracic echocardiogram were normal. On coronary angiography, le...

A 57 year old, diabetic female presented in emergency department with atypical chest pain. Her physical examination was unremarkable. Routine blood and urine biochemistry were within normal limits. Electrocardiogram showed left bundle branch block, with nonspecific ST-T changes. Chest X-ray and 2D-echocardiogram revealed no abnormality. Coronary angiography demonstrated existence of only left a...

This study investigates the impact of creativity as a predictor of business performance of undergraduate entrepreneurs in Nigerian universities. Survey research design was used. A sample size of 120 respondents was selected while only 100 of them actively participated in the study. Research questions were set with one main hypothesis that was formulated and tested. Descriptive statistics compri...

The arterial vasculature in the floor region of the mouth and the submandibular region of the crab-eating monkey was studied by the acrylic plastic injection method. 1. The titled regions were found to be supplied by the hyoid branch and the sublingual artery arising from the lingual artery, and the submandibular glandular branch, the mylohyoid branch and the submental artery from the facial ar...

The present study was an attempt to identify the location of genioglossal respiratory and swallowing motoneuron cell bodies within the hypoglossal (XII) nucleus using both electrophysiological and morphological studies. The genioglossus muscle is innervated by the genioglossal branch of the medial XII nerve. At the entrance to the muscle, the genioglossal branch divides in the directions of the...

Anteromedial thigh (AMT) flaps based on lateral circumflex femoral artery (LCFA) have characteristics which make them favourable for use in reconstruction of extensive thigh, head, neck and leg defects. AMT flap which is elevated on the artery has the advantages of low donor site morbidity and preservation of main arteries. Due to inconstant anatomy of the pedicle, the flap is mostly not prefer...

Many of the behavioral capacities that distinguish humans from other primates rely on fronto-parietal circuits. The superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) is the primary white matter tract connecting lateral frontal with lateral parietal regions; it is distinct from the arcuate fasciculus, which interconnects the frontal and temporal lobes. Here we report a direct, quantitative comparison of SL...

CONTEXT The musculocutaneous nerve is one of the terminal branches of the lateral fasciculus of the brachial plexus, and is responsible for innervation of the flexor musculature of the elbow and for skin sensitivity on the lateral surface of the forearm. Its absence has been described previously, but its real prevalence is unknown. CASE REPORT A case of absence of the musculocutaneous nerve t...

The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) is a sensitive collateral branch of the lumbar plexus that innervates the anterolateral region of the thigh. Its compression at the level of the groin originates a particular syndrome called meralgia paresthetica. Treatment of this neuropathy may involve sectioning or freeing of the nerve, both of which require an appropriate knowledge of its anatomy. ...
