By the 6th week of gestation the thyroglossal duct starts to obliterate. Failure in its obliteration causes differentiation of the distal part into the pyramidal lobe (PL), while the cranial portion may alter into a fibromuscular remnant - levator glandulae thyreoideae (LGT).Materials and methods: Morphological characteristics of PL and LGT were prospectively observed in 86 cadavers (66 male and 20 female).Results: PL was observed in 59.3%, occurring more frequently in male cadavers (60.61%) compared to female cadavers (55%). PL was more frequent on the left side (50.98%) than on the right side (39.22%). Junctional PL was determined in 58.82%, isthmic PL in 27.45%, and lobar PL in 13.73%. The average height, width, and area of PL reached 23.81 mm, 13.13 mm, and 320.16 mm², respectively. The most frequent height-to-width ratio of PL was 1.3 : 1. LGT was observed in 47.67% of cadavers. LGT prevailed in male cadavers (48.48%) over female cadavers (45%). LGT occurred commonly on the left side (53.66%) than on the right side (31.71 %). Macroscopic evaluation demonstrated prevalence of fibrous LGTs (65.85%).

The superior laryngeal artery typically originates from the superior thyroid artery, a branch of the external carotid artery. However, alternative origins of this artery-such as from the external carotid artery, the common carotid artery, or other branches-have been documented in rare cases. Herein, we present a rare configuration of the external carotid artery branches identified on the left side of the neck of a 76-year-old male cadaver. A shared linguofacial trunk originated from the external carotid artery and then divided into the facial and lingual arteries. Afterward, the lingual artery gave rise to the superior laryngeal artery, which initially coursed horizontally before curving downward toward the larynx. Understanding such anatomical variations is essential for safe and effective surgical intervention and accurate diagnostic imaging, as these patterns can significantly impact surgical approaches in laryngeal procedures, neck reconstructive surgeries, and targeted intra-arterial chemotherapy for cancers affecting the larynx and hypopharynx.","PeriodicalId":12251,"journal":{"name":"Folia morphologica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143499013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Knowledge about the morphology of BMC may help to understand the development course of condyle and differential diagnosis of fractures or tumors in condylar area. The aim of this study was to examine temporomandibular joint (TMJ) hard tissue morphology of BMCs.Materials and methods: 1900 cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of the mandibular condylar heads examined for the presence of bifidity. When BMC were identified, morphological assessment and measurements of bone components of TMJ were done.Results: 69 BMC were detected in 56 patients (3%). It was observed that 43 (76.8%) patients presented unilateral and 13 (23.2%) patients presented bilateral BMCs. 59.4% of condyles were mostly seen in mediolateral (ML) orientation and 40.6% of them were both ML and anteroposterior (AP) orientation. 46.4% of cases showed wide and shallow groove; 53.6% had deep and narrow groove on coronal images. 60 BMCs had osteoarthritic changes.Conclusions: CBCT is an excellent imaging modality for accurate imaging of the bony components of TMJ. Due to the widespread use of CBCT, the prevalence of BMC is likely to be higher than has been previously reported and reported new cases in literature could be useful for dentists for improving their knowledge about this variation.","PeriodicalId":12251,"journal":{"name":"Folia morphologica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143500044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite their well-documented functions, the impact of preserving or reconstructing these ligaments during surgical procedures, particularly radical prostatectomy, on continence outcomes remains underexplored. This systematic review synthesizes current evidence on the anatomy, function, and clinical implications of the PPL and PVL. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed following PRISMA guidelines, selecting studies related to the anatomical characteristics, functional roles, and clinical management of these ligaments. Anatomical studies consistently highlight the structural complexity and supportive roles of the PPL and PVL in maintaining urethral and bladder neck positioning, which are essential for continence. Functional studies on the other hand further explain their involvement in the urethral closure process while clinical evidence demonstrates that sparing or reconstructing these ligaments during radical prostatectomy significantly improves both early and long-term continence outcomes, suggesting that their preservation is crucial for enhancing postoperative continence recovery. The findings emphasize the importance of these ligaments in continence mechanisms and advocate for their consideration in future surgical innovations. Further research is needed to refine surgical techniques and to better understand the biomechanical properties of these ligaments to optimize patient outcomes.","PeriodicalId":12251,"journal":{"name":"Folia morphologica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143500106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its borders, during robotic, laparoscopic or open radical prostatectomy for intermediate or high-grade prostate cancer, have long been defined and must be usually respected; the genitofemoral nerve represents the extended pelvic lymph-node dissection lateral boundary and may vary from case to case putting its integrity at risk.Materials and methods: For the first time, here the authors report genitofemoral nerve branching pattern data obtained extended pelvic lymph node dissection during videolaparoscopic radical prostatectomyand propose a further sub-classification to identify the exact genitofemoral nerve bifurcation point in correlation with the injury risk.Results: The surgical results show the prevalence of a genitofemoral nerve originating as a single trunk which divides into two branches and highlight how this condition occurs at external iliac artery upper third in more than 75% of cases. Furthermore, at the femoral canal inlet the genitofemoral nerve two branches were mainly seen lying laterally sided and below the external iliac artery, or in the middle of external iliac artery and external iliac vein.Conclusions: Knowledge and recognition of the genitofemoral nerve course and bifurcation points deduced from the extended pelvic lymph node dissection and, in any case, applicable to all major pelvic surgery, can prove helpful in avoiding iatrogenic nerve injuries during extended pelvic lymph node dissection.","PeriodicalId":12251,"journal":{"name":"Folia morphologica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143500046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent reports have suggested its potential involvement in mid-portion Achilles tendon tendinopathy. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the morphological variations of the PM, focusing on its branching patterns at the level of insertion.Materials and methods: Dissections were performed on 58 lower limbs obtained from 29 adult cadavers preserved in a 10% formalin solution. The morphology of the PM was assessed concerning its branching patterns at the insertion level and its relationship with the calcaneal tendon.Results: The PM was present in 52 out of 58 cases (89.65%). In majority of these cases (37 limbs, 63.79%), there was no splitting of the plantaris tendon (PT) at the level of the extensor expansion (ExP). Bifurcation occurred in 10 cases (19.23%), trifurcation in 4 cases (7.69%), and in one instance, the tendon divided into four slips. In 11 cases (22.4%), the insertion blended with the Achilles tendon (Type VII), which may increase the risk of Achilles tendinopathy.Conclusions: The study indicates the existence of new types of PM tendon insertions that could potentially influence the development of Achilles tendinopathy. Variations in the anatomical morphology of the PM tendon may lead to potential conflicts with the Achilles tendon and the tibialis posterior tendon, thereby increasing the risk of tendinopathy.","PeriodicalId":12251,"journal":{"name":"Folia morphologica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143500051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The IMA artery was located between the origin of the brachiocephalic trunk and the left common carotid artery. The left vertebral artery was situated between the origin of the left common carotid artery and the left subclavian artery. No other variations in the origins of major vessels in the thoracic region, head, and neck were observed. The frequency of the left vertebral artery arising directly from the aortic arch is estimated to be 3-8%, and when combined with the IMA artery arising directly from the aortic arch, which occurs in less than 1% of cases, the variant described appears to be extremely rare.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small secretory vesicles released from almost all mammalian cells. EVs-miRs cargo plays a significant role in regulating various aspects of the biological machinery of the recipient cells. EVs-miRs may play an essential role in promoting cellular regenerative functions. miRs contained within the EVs fractions are capable of preserving their function throughout their journey from the cell of origin to the host cells. The current review discusses the role of EVs-miRs in different renal diseases as a novel approach for managing particular renal injuries. We tried to simplify the possible modulatory impact of miRs at the ultrastructural cellular pathological signaling, demonstrating the hazardous and the beneficial subtypes based on the previous research work. Further investigations are still needed in this regard, as miRs may have dual effects, as EVs-miR-23a could attenuate renal fibrosis through activation of Akt and inhibition of FoxO1 signaling. Whereas, EVs-miR-23a was upregulated by the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1a) in the hypoxic TECs and activated macrophages to accelerate the renal inflammatory cytokine storm and promote interstitial fibrosis.","PeriodicalId":12251,"journal":{"name":"Folia morphologica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143500042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
