It is included in the type 1 sequestration group when it is a single finding without other sequestration features. Sequestrations account for <1% of all lung malformations. Type 1 is the least common form in this group. In 75% of these cases, the aberrant artery (AA) originates from the thoracic aorta. AA originating from the celiac plexus is very rare. Moreover, even if it originates from an abdominal vascular, AA is extended left lower lobe of the lung or the right middle lobe. Our case is atypical with its azygoesophageal recess (AOR) localization. The AOR is a special region that forms the mediobasal segment of the right lung. After the pandemic, this region has been expressed as one of the areas where COVID-19 infection shows affinity. The reason for this condition has not been definitively clarified yet. Therefore, the anatomical details of this segment need to be more probed. Furthermore, the radiological multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) appearance of our case is in the differential diagnosis, with Scimitar syndrome and, as far as we know, this differential diagnosis detail has not been mentioned so far. MDCT plays an important role in the diagnosis and planning of definitive treatment by determining the origin and course of the AA. Definitive treatment may be surgery (lobectomy or segmentectomy) or endovascular. The case of a 62-year-old patient with a lung AA is presented accompanied by radiological and clinical findings.","PeriodicalId":50010,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Anatomical Society of India","volume":"11 1","pages":"267 - 270"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139365187","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}

Objective: This study investigated psychosocial stress-induced damage on the testes and epididymis using animal models and the effects of Vitamin E. Materials and Methods: A total 40 adult Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups (S and L) representing 52 and 104 days of experimentation. The 2 groups were subdivided into 4 groups each (S = A–D and L = E–H, n = 5 each). Groups A and E served as control, B and F were psychosocially stressed, C and G were administered 50 mg/kg of Vitamin E, while D and H were psychosocially stressed and administered 50 mg/kg of Vitamin E for 52 and 104 days, respectively. Psychosocial stress was induced on the rats using cats as predator. The weight, blood parameters, and tissue samples were obtained on days 53 and 105 and analyzed. Statistical analysis was carried out using GraphPad Prism Version 8 (San Diego, CA, USA). Results: Psychosocial stress resulted in a significant reduction in weight and negatively affected oxidative stress markers and sperm parameters of the animals (P < 0.05). Histological analysis showed that stress arrested spermatogenesis and disorganized the seminiferous tubular epithelium and reduced the semen quality. There was scanty sperm in the epididymis of stressed groups. However, Vitamin E reversed these changes and improved the quality of semen compared to the negative control group. Conclusion: Vitamin E was potent at ameliorating the deleterious effects of psychosocially induced stress.","PeriodicalId":50010,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Anatomical Society of India","volume":"155 1","pages":"229 - 238"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139364507","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}

We present a rare instance of IVC agenesis, bilateral double renal veins, and left circumaortic renal vein that manifested as lower extremities deep vein thrombosis. While anomalies of the IVC and renal veins are exceedingly rare, they should be considered during retroperitoneal procedures to avoid major consequences, particularly venous bleeding caused by incorrect damage. Anatomical variance of the IVC and renal veins is critical for procedures such as ureteral surgery, sympathectomy, radical nephrectomy, and organ transplantation. The clinical significance of these aberrations stems from the possibility of mistakes during imaging.

The cardinal features of PD include resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability. In rodents the 2,4,5-trihydroxyphenylethylamine [6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)] induced lesion of the nigrostriatal system showed retrograde degeneration and structural changes in the corpus striatum under transmission the electron microscope (TEM). Aim and Objectives: To study the ultra-structure of normal and 6-OHDA lesioned corpus striatum in Wistar albino rats under the transmission electron microscope. Material and Methods: Wistar albino male adult rats received unilateral stereotaxical injection of 6-OHDA on the right side of striatum and were sacrificed after 120 days. The following stereotaxic co-ordinates were used to target the dorsolateral part of the striatum: AP = 0.2 mm, ML = 3.2 mm, DV = 4.5 mm from the bregma. Another target was the dorsomedial part of striatum: AP = 1.1 mm, ML = 2.4 mm and DV = 3.5 mm.The motor behavior was monitored in cylinder which was counted for a period of 60 min. Results and Conclusion: Our TEM finding in the control rats demonstrated that nucleus was round and comparatively large in proportion to the cell body and lies in the centre of the nerve cell in the striatum. Occasionally one or two dense nucleoli were located eccentrically in the nucleoplasm. Additionally, in the cytoplasm around the nucleus, the conspicuous organelles along with the numerous ribosomes which were mostly free and appear as rosettes or clusters, some of which were attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. Furthermore, few short of granular endoplasmic reticula were seen. Interestingly, the lesioned rats showed neuronal and glial cells damage at the ultra-structural level in striatum under TEM observation.","PeriodicalId":50010,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Anatomical Society of India","volume":"5 1","pages":"199 - 204"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139364703","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 aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of gender on the scapula measure for healthy sedentary subjects. The parameters used in the present study were different from the previous research. Hence, the current work was designed to measure gender differences of the scapula in the Iranian population. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of gender on the scapula measure for healthy sedentary subjects. The design of this research has been done with the coordination and activity of all authors to examine the effect of gender in scapula characters. Material and Methods: This study was performed on scapula computed tomography in 68 patients. These characters in this bone: acromion glenoid distance, length of the acromion, width of acromion, acromion coracoid distance, length of scapula, width of scapula, length of coracoid (LC), length of glenoid (LG), and width of glenoid. With the help of the SPSS software, the logistical regression equation was derived from the stepwise method. By multiplying the value of each dimension with its corresponding coefficient (β coefficient) and adding the products together along with the appropriate constant, the sex of a specimen can be determined. For the regression equation incorporating all for scapular dimensions, the logistic regression score (Y) is calculated as follows: Y = (−0.003× Width of scapula (WS)) + (0.006 × LC) + (−0.14 × height of glenoid [HG]) + 2.098. Results: This study shows the scapular bone characteristic comparison between the two sexes, which statistically significant difference in the width of the bone scapula (P = 0.02) and the coracoid length (P = 0.04) and LG (P = 0.01). In males, significant positive correlation was found between Height of scapula (HS), and height of glenoid (HG) (0.884) and in females, significant positive correlation was maximum the relationship between the HS and LC (0.904**). Discussion and Conclusion: Due to the small number of our samples, it would be better to study more widely so that other differences such as the length of the scapula and the glenoid width can be achieved, and more confidently, that these two attributes do not play a role in determining the sex.","PeriodicalId":50010,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Anatomical Society of India","volume":"2 1","pages":"187 - 192"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139365783","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}

This study aimed to compare the nasolacrimal canal morphometry (nasolacrimal duct [NLD]), maxillary sinus ostium (MSO) localization, and presence of the accessory maxillary ostium (AMO) in patients with unilateral or bilateral CLP with healthy controls. Materials and Methods: The transversal and anteroposterior diameters and the length of the NLD were measured in 33 patients with unilateral CLP and 30 patients with bilateral CLP using cone-beam computed tomography. There were 16 (53.3%) males and 14 females (46.7%) in the bilateral CLP group and 18 males and 15 females in the unilateral CLP group. The mean ages of the patients were 17.36 ± 5.27 in patients with unilateral CLP and 18.6 ± 5.66 in patients with bilateral CLP. The anteroposterior location of the MSO and AMO was evaluated. Results: The transversal (P = 0.003) and anteroposterior (P = 0.002) diameters of NLD were found to be significantly different between the patients with bilateral CLP and the control group. The NLD length was found to be significantly different between the control group and the affected sides in the unilateral CLP group (P = 0.02). The MSO was found more in the middle region in the control group compared to the unilateral CLP group (P = 0.004).

Subjects and Methods: In the study, clinical and morphological measurements of intrathoracic organs were performed on thorax CT images of 80 patients with pectus excavatum (PE) and 70 pectus carinatum (PC) diagnose. Results: The mean Haller index (HI) of patients with PE was measured at the highest T11 (Female: 3.79 cm, Male: 3.67 cm) and lowest at T7 (Female: 3.41 cm, Male: 3 cm). The mean HI at all levels (T5-T11) was higher than healthy individuals (P < 0.05). PE severity was higher in women than men. Due to the increase in the severity of PE, it was determined that the heart was displaced in the left anterior, left posterior and downward directions, and the cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) increased. In severe cases, it was seen that the aorta was located on the left side of the corpus vertebrae in the left posterior region. In patients with PC, the most severe HI value was measured at the T7 level (1.54 cm) in women and at the T9 level (1.42 cm) in men. There was no significant difference between the CTRs of patients with PC and healthy individuals.
