Tear of the peroneal tendon may occur in different anatomical sites. The most prevalent site is around the lateral malleolus. Tear of the peroneus longus at the level of the peroneal tubercle is unusual. Anatomically, the lateral surface of the calcaneous can be divided into thirds. The middle third includes the peroneal tubercle, which separates the peroneus longus tendon from the peroneus bre...

The discovery of the tubercle bacillus by Robert Koch in 1882 and his classical demonstration, in 1891, of the effect of a second infection with tubercle bacilli in an already tuberculous guinea pig, which later came to be known as the ‘Koch phenomenon’, heralded scores of attempts to develop a specific immunising agent against tuberculosis, derived from the tubercle bacillus. The attempts were...

Ever since Koch first cultivated the tubercle bacillus, methods have been sought to hasten its growth (in vitro). In his original communication Koch’ described a technique of examining cultures of tubercle bacilli grown in coagulated blood serum placed in watch glasses or hollow glass slides. He examined these preparations by low-power magnification and was able to detect growth in one week. Pr...

Hypospadias, a congenital malformation of the penis characteristic of an abnormal urethral orifice, affects 1 in every 125 boys, and its incidence is rising. Herein we test the hypothesis that the basement membrane protein laminin α5 (LAMA5) plays a key role in the development of the mouse genital tubercle, the embryonic anlage of the external genitalia. Using standard histological analyses and...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the risk of phrenic nerve injury during ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block (US-SGB) according to sonoanatomy of the phrenic nerve, and determine a safer posture for needle insertion by assessing its relationship with surrounding structure according to positional change. METHODS Twenty-nine healthy volunteers were recruited and underwent ultrasound in two postures,...

Removal of a major non-catecholaminergic output from the olfactory bulb elicits sprouting of dopaminergic axons in the olfactory tubercle. The functional consequences of this increased dopaminergic innervation are presently not known. This study examined the question of whether lesion-induced sprouting of dopaminergic axons is associated with changes in dopamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase and ...

This is an account of the life and work of Robert Koch (1843-1910), Nobel Laureate in Medicine and a founder of the science of bacteriology. In particular, Koch's researches into tuberculosis are described - the discovery of the tubercle bacillus, the controversy regarding the human and bovine types, the Koch phenomenon, and the introduction of tuberculin, which proved to be ineffective as a cu...

Despite the fact that common surgical techniques for the treatment of genu varum usually correct the malalignment in the affected knee, these methods have significant complications and cause problems in the long term. Retro-tubercle opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy is among the newer techniques for the treatment of genu varum. The goal of this study was to compare the results of retro-tuberc...

Introduction: Elbow pathology including fractures to the coronoid process are common in overhead throwing athletes such as baseball pitchers. Only four cases have been reported of sublime tubercle avulsion literature. This case study investigates a novel treatment for injuries.Case Presentation: A 21-year-old collegiate pitcher presented with medial elbow pain. Radiographic evaluation showed no...
