The nutrient vascular foramina of scaphoid bone were observed and clinical interpretations were discussed. The 220 dry scaphoid bones of adult age group were studied. The vascular foramina distal to mid of waist were 1 to 2 in 17.72 % specimen and rest of 82.28% bones had more then 2 foramina. There was no scaphoid without vascular foramina distal to mid of waist of scaphoid. But the proximal p...

Ennis demonstrated a foramen located superior to the genial tubercles in1937, while Novitsky reported a foramen inferior to the genial tubercles in 1938. Suzuki & Sakai in 1957 mentioned that the bony canals of these foramina coursed perpendicular to the inner surface of mandible1. Midline foramina and lateral foramina were described .Terminology of foramina was differently used by various auth...

Acute myocardial infarction results due to acute disruption of coronary blood flow, commonly presented with chest pain. Electrocardiogram showing ST-segment elevation in consecutive leads is a classical ST-elevation infarction; however, atypical also can occur. We report an elderly lady who the island health centre intractable central showed V1 and aVR; whereas ST-depression V4-6. With primary ...

The navicular bone is supplied by more than one artery. The knowledge about the vascular foramina is important to understand the pathogenesis and management of navicular fractures. The objective of the present study is to analyze the morphology and morphometry of vascular foramina of dried human navicular bone in Indian population. The study was carried out by using 100 navicular bones (50 righ...

BACKGROUND Understanding the nutrient foramina is critical to clinical practice. An insult to the nutrient foramina can be caused by trauma and/or surgical dissection and lead to devascularization and bad outcomes. Few studies have looked at the humerus, and no studies have described relative information of humeral nutrient foramen related to anatomical structures that might be located by palpa...

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...

Low back pain is exceptionally ubiquitous, complex, and costly. Nevertheless, lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) with neurogenic intermittent claudication (NIC) is a frequent cause of low back and lower extremity pain. Although the phenomena and pathophisiology of lumbar spinal stenosis has been described for decades, therapeutic treatment options remain considerably limited. Current care consists of...

The changes in the oxidation state of vanadium in artificial and natural seawater samples were studied by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) with a direct injection of a resin suspension. V(IV) and V(V) were extracted as the complex with Chromazurol B and with N-cinnamoyl-N-2,3-xylylhydroxylamine, respectively, using a suspension of an anion-exchange resin and determined by E...

Purpose: To assess the anatomic variation with the frequency, location, and morphology of mandibular lingual foramina using Cone Beam Computed Tomography. Methods: A retrospective study from CBCT examination of 200 subjects was conducted. The canal frequency (number), location, and travel direction were assessed by selecting images of the mandible. Also, linear dimensions such as the diameter o...

The spread of tumour cells to the mandible has been well recognised and invasion of the edentulous alveolar ridge by tumour through accessory foramina has been documented. Tumour infiltration can also occur through the lateral cortical plate, but the number and distribution of accessory foramina on this surface has not been reported. Lateral surfaces of 89 mandibles were examined and accessory ...
