This study aims to investigate the anatomical variations of the OF as a guide for identifying failure criteria and improving success parameters in clinical practice.Methods: The OFs of one hundred adult dry pelvic bones were examined. Measurements were evaluated using ImageJ software. The morphology of the OF and the presence of bony projections on the inner surface of the foramen were assessed.Results: The anterior-posterior length was 5.24 ± 0.8 cm on the right and 5.17 ± 0.87 cm on the left. The superior-inferior length was 4.69 ± 1.83 cm on the right and 4.66 ± 1.69 cm on the left. The anterior-posterior vertical angle was 98.21 ± 9.95° on the right and 98.48 ± 13.9° on the left; the superior-inferior horizontal angle was 90.7 ± 10.95° on the right and 97.56 ± 9.42° on the left. The OF was categorized into six distinct types: quadrilateral (23%), ellipsoid (22%), and oval (17%). The ellipsoid-type OF showed a greater anterior-posterior length compared to the other types, while the triangular-type OF exhibited a greater symphysis pubis length. Notably, bony projections on the anterior edge of the inner surface of the OF were observed in 33% of cases. Additionally, bony projections on the posterior edge of the OF were described for the first time.Conclusion: In cases where OF is narrow and variable, and where bony projections are present on its inner surface, performing an osteotomy may help protect the obturator neurovascular bundle.","PeriodicalId":49461,"journal":{"name":"Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy","volume":"47 1","pages":"163"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144369424","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 latter may course through the foramen ovale. The pterygoid plexus drains in most cases into the retromandibular and facial veins. A peculiar SMCV drainage pathway to the internal jugular vein (IJV) via a parapharyngeal vein was found here.Method: The anatomic variant reported here was identified by carefully reviewing the archived CT angiogram in a 68-year-old male case.Results: A double SMCV was found on the right side. The resulting common SMCV trunk passed laterally to the foramen rotundum to empty into the cavernous sinus. A sphenoidal emissary vein joined it, which continued inferiorly through the foramen ovale to the pterygoid plexus. This plexus was connected to a reservoir on the inner side of the lateral pterygoid plate from which a fenestrated parapharyngeal vein left. It had two primary fenestrations, and the proximal one had a fenestrated arm. It reached inferiorly and turned around the external carotid artery. At that level, it received two tributaries: first, the superior thyroid vein and then, the facial vein. The resulting facial-parapharyngeal trunk ended in the IJV. These veins and the carotid arteries, deep to them, were hidden beneath the submandibular gland. The right maxillary vein and the anterior branch of the retromandibular vein were absent.Conclusion: The parapharyngeal vein may be a direct drainage pathway for the SMCV and the pterygoid plexus. It should therefore be acknowledged and spared during various surgical approaches.","PeriodicalId":49461,"journal":{"name":"Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy","volume":"47 1","pages":"162"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12178991/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144334281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report on a case of an absent brachiocephalic trunk associated with an aberrant right subclavian artery and five distinct major vessels arising directly from the aortic arch in a South African male. Although most congenital vascular variations are incidental findings on angiographic images, some have also been associated with cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral aneurysms.

However, the optimal vertebral level for electrode implantation remains debated. To determine the relevance of stimulating the sinuvertebral nerve (SVN) in the management of chronic low back pain and the most appropriate vertebral level for the implantation of this type of electrode.Methods: We dissected the thoraco-lumbar spine (T12 to L5) of six anatomical specimens to highlight the path, innervation areas, and various branches of the SVN.Results: We confirmed that the SVN innervates the posterior third of the intervertebral discs (IVD), the posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL), the anterior face of the dural sheath, the periosteum, the walls of the basivertebral veins, the segmental arteries, and their branches. Moreover, we demonstrated the dual somatic and sympathetic roles of the SVN. Finally, we observed an intra- and intersegmental network covering several adjacent vertebral levels. The superficial network of the SVN converges towards the L2 spinal nerve (SN).Conclusion: We demonstrated the anatomical rationale for stimulating the DRG through rigorous anatomical dissection of the SVN.

Ammonium nitrate was synthesized through a controlled reaction of nitric acid and ammonium hydroxide under strict safety protocols. The solution was incorporated into Thiel embalming fluids and used for arterial and venous embalming of 28 cadavers at two institutions.Results: The cadavers embalmed using the methods presented in this study were comparable to conventional Thiel-embalmed cadavers, preserving tissue flexibility, color, and structural integrity.

When designing prompts to create MCQs, details about the lesson's purpose, learning objectives, and students' prior experiences were included to ensure the questions were contextually appropriate. A set of 30 MCQs was randomly selected from the generated questions for testing. A total of 280 students participated in the examination, which assessed the difficulty index of the MCQs, the item discrimination index, and the overall test difficulty level.

Pearson correlation and Mann‒Whitney U tests were conducted to evaluate the relationships between the measured canal parameters and tibial metrics.Results: Fifty-eight nutrient canals were identified. Among these, 98.27% were located within the distal portion of the proximal third or the proximal portion of the middle third of the tibia. The nutrient canals were predominantly concentrated (81.03%) in the posterolateral region, with the remainder distributed among the posterior, posteromedial, and anterolateral surfaces.

The study also established the mathematical relationships between the umbilicus and nearby anatomical structures like the xiphoid process, pubic symphysis, anterior superior iliac spine, iliac crests, and body mass index (BMI) to identify the ideal geometric shapes and positions. In two patients with abdominal skin sagging, abdominoplasty was performed with a new umbilicus designed according to these anatomical measurements.Results: The umbilici were categorized by shape: vertical oval with superior hooding (29%), round (27%), vertical lozenge (21%), and protruded (11%). Ratios between anatomical points were measured, such as the ratio of the distance between the xiphoid process and the upper edge of the umbilicus to the distance between the lower edge of the umbilicus and the symphysis pubis, which was 1.64 ± 0.40. Post-operative evaluation emphasized achieving a xiphoid-umbilicus/pubic symphysis ratio of 1.6:1 for the new umbilicus, with an aesthetically ideal ratio considered to be 1:1. A strong correlation was found between BMI and all umbilical ratios.Conclusions: The most aesthetically pleasing navel position aligns with the golden ratio between xiphoid and umbilicus compared to the umbilicus and abdominal crease.
