The transverse diameter, number, shape and position of the greater (GPF) and lesser (LPF) palatine foramina; canine to canine inter-socket distance; distance between greater palatine foramen medial margins; on each side, the distances between greater palatine foramen and base of the pterygoid hamulus, median maxillary suture and posterior border of the hard palate; palatal length, breadth and height; maximum width and height of the incisive foramen; and the angle between the median maxillary suture and a line between the orale and greater palatine foramen were determined. Palatine index and palatal height index were also calculated. An oval greater palatine foramen was present in all skulls, while a mainly oval lesser palatine foramen was present in 95.8% on the right and 97.2% on the left. Single and multiple lesser palatine foramina were observed on the right/left sides: single 44.1%/50.7%; double 41.2%/34.8%; triple 10.2%/11.6%. The greater palatine foramen was located above the third molar in 74.7% (right)/87.8% (left), between the second and third molars in 25.3%/9.5%, and above the second molar in 2.7% (left). A single oval-shaped incisive foramen was observed in 87.1%. The median maxillary suture angle was 13.74±1.58° on the right and 13.14±1.68° on the left. In conclusion, no significant differences were observed in any distances on the right and left side related to greater palatine foramen; however a significant difference (p <0.05) was observed between the right and left sides for median maxillary suture angle.","PeriodicalId":14636,"journal":{"name":"Italian journal of anatomy and embryology","volume":"123 1","pages":"55-63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.13128/IJAE-23011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49273541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The location depends on the branchial pouch or cleft they are derived from. We present a retrospective study including 30 cases analysing epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment and complications. We obtained the following results: 15 of the 30 patients were females and 15 males. Age ranged from 19 to 81 years with an average of 40. All cysts had origin from the second branchial cleft. Twenty-three appeared as painless cervical masses, 5 were painful and 2 had an infection. Clinical suspicion of branchial cleft cyst formed in 23 cases. Computerized tomography and fine needle aspiration cytology was used in 18 cases, magnetic resonance alone in 1 and only ultrasound in 1. Branchial cleft cyst is a differential diagnosis of a lateral neck swelling mass and the most accurate diagnostic test is magnetic resonance, but computerized tomography is the most often performed in most hospitals. Treatment is surgical excision.","PeriodicalId":14636,"journal":{"name":"Italian journal of anatomy and embryology","volume":"123 1","pages":"194-198"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66171683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, medical curriculum is continually evolving and focusing on clinical application, especially for first year medical undergraduate students. Recently, surgical educators defined a role for laparoscopy in teaching anatomy. This study was conducted to know the opinion by first year medical undergraduate students, of current teaching practices and which teaching modalities should be emphasized. In this study a total of 200 first-year medical undergraduate students were exposed to a Diagnostic Laparoscopy with appendectomy video, with explanation/commentary by a laparoscopic surgeon. A pre-test and a post-test questionnaire were given before and after exposure to the video. The objective of the study was to collect students’ opinion by answering the questions in the questionnaire. All pre-test and post-test questionnaire results were analysed. The results were quantified in terms of percentage. The knowledge of anatomy of abdominal wall and peritoneal cavity improved from 62% to 91% of students after exposure to surgical video. Similarly, knowledge regarding laparoscopy improved from 37% to 85% and awareness about surgical video as an additional method of learning improved from 46% to 89%. Almost 93% of students were able to appreciate the organs and structures within intraperitoneal cavity. Hence, the clinicians/surgeons need to try their best and put in their maximum efforts to make the training of future medical graduates more efficient and knowledgeable in anatomy subject, by creating interest in learning of the subject by using such additional method (surgical videos) learning tool.","PeriodicalId":14636,"journal":{"name":"Italian journal of anatomy and embryology","volume":"123 1","pages":"288-296"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66171780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurate knowledge of anatomical variations provides important information in medico-legal issues, forensic interpretation, diagnostics, imaging and patient management including surgical procedures. Although underreported, it is believed that a significant proportion of clinical malpractice is due to suboptimal knowledge of anatomical variations. The present study aims to assess the anatomical variations of locomotor system structures in twenty-four formalin fixed cadavers used for dissection as part of Gross Anatomy course for medical students. The study was conducted in six medical schools in Ethiopia in the academic year 2015/2016. Following critical observation and careful dissection, photographs were taken accordingly. Our findings show a complete persistence of metopic suture in 4.2 % of frontal bone, incedence of five anterior and five posterior sacral foramina in 4.2 % of sacral bones and biceps brachii muscle with three heads of origin in 2.1 % of brachia. Altogether, the findings show the incidence of anatomical variants of clinical importance that need consideration during surgical procedures, diagnosis - especially in distinguishing fracture of bones - and patient management in Ethiopian population with diverse socio-economic background and geographical origin.","PeriodicalId":14636,"journal":{"name":"Italian journal of anatomy and embryology","volume":"123 1","pages":"108-113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66171372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impairment of glycemic control can induce limited joint mobility even in young type 1 diabetic (T1DM) patients. The aims of this study were to verify the presence of ankle joint mobility (AJM) deficits in young T1DM subjects and define a mathematical model of diabetes mellitus long-term effects on AJM. Methods. AJM was evaluated using an inclinometer in 37 patients and 53 healthy, sex- BMI- and age-matched controls. To set up the mathematical model, we assumed that reduced metabolic control affects AJM according to a lognormal function: requiring some time for development of a reduction of joint mobility, which then persists for a long period, before fading out over time (if glycemic control has been recovered). A non-linear optimization determined the model parameters to achieve the best fit for a series of patients. Results. Both plantar and dorsiflexion AJM was significantly lower in diabetic subjects than in controls (plantarflexion: 28.5°±7.5 vs 35.2°±6.5; dorsiflexion: 93.9°±16.0 vs 104.7±12.8; p<0.01). The defined model approximates the experimental data with good accuracy; after optimization, the lognormal curve obtained is in line with empirical estimates: lack of glycemic control needs to persist for at least a few months before producing a significant effect, that lasts up until one year. The fitting procedure indicated the optimal solution is p = (37; 30; 3:5; 6:7; 137); thus, the optimal _im(t) corresponds to the curve reported. Conclusion. AJM was significantly reduced in young T1DM patients. The mathematical model represents the experimental data accurately.","PeriodicalId":14636,"journal":{"name":"Italian journal of anatomy and embryology","volume":"123 1","pages":"23-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.13128/IJAE-23007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66171593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
