In present study it was observed that, on left side, subscapular which usually arises from third part found to be originating second along with lateral thoracic and thoraco-acromial whereas anterior circumflex humeral posterior orig...

The International Federation of Associations Anatomists (IFAA) are developing core syllabuses for the anatomical sciences by means Delphi panels. In this article, we provide subject matter teaching cell and basic tissues within a medical histology course. goal is to set an international standard providing guidelines such syllabus. panel, composed members across multiple countries, required two ...

Even it was published in 2003, it would be advisable to revisit this book, since it is a 'must have' not only for dental students, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, general dentists and anatomists but also for the head and neck surgeons. This multi-author book is 230 pages long and is presented in 9 well-ordered chapters. One of the editors of the book (Langdon) is a maxillofacial surgeon and th...

Anatomical variations in relation to coronary artery and its branches will help cardiac surgeons for refining imaging techniques and coronary artery bypass grafting. A heart was detected with multiple anomalies of coronary arteries in a cadaver. The anomalies of coronary arteries in terms of origin, number of ostia, courses, and presence of myocardial bridges were described, and related clinica...

The second edition of this book is not only a welcome addition to works on the hand, but is also essential to all anatomists because in it the principles of anatomy are very lucidly expounded. So well are the principles described that the reviewer feels that here surely is a pattern on which anatomical textbooks should be written?in fact he would suggest that a textbook of genera$_j*natomy writ...

The clivus (Latin: slope) is a curved sloppy surface between the dorsum sellae of sphenoid and foramen magnum of occipital bone in human skull. In the present study, a bony canal was observed in the clivus. There are very few reports in literature about the presence of a bony passage in the clivus. These bony canals if present may contain communicating veins between extracranial and intracrania...

The reticular formation was one of the last neuroanatomical structures to be described. Even today, there is no consensus on the nervous system elements that make up this anatomical structure. Such famous anatomists as Reil, Deiters, Burdach, and Cajal, among others, have progressively contributed with new findings regarding the description of the reticular formation. Nevertheless, experiments ...

In 1948 w’e called attention to talocalcaneal bridge (synostosis talocalcanea) as a cause of rigid flat foot, which until then had been unrecognised as a clinical entity.’ Since the publication of this paper there has been ample confirmation of the accuracy of our observation from the experiences reported to us by our colleagues and from our own further investigations. Though orthopaedic surgeo...

Some plastic surgeons are limited in their technical knowledge on the mimetic muscle and conversely appear to vindicate a distinct priority in the problem of surgical rejuvenation, or, in general, in the effects of ageing, always involving the mimetic muscles included in the skin. Anatomists have worked better in research on mimetic muscles that we would like to indicate as not inserted, free t...
