The aim of the present study was to explore the genetic effect of depression on longitudinal changes in brain structure throughout the lifespan using a Mendelian randomization approach. Summary data from a genome-wide association study of 195,321 to 377,277 participants in the FinnGen consortium were used to predict depression, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and antidepressant use genetically. Data from 15,640 participants in the ENIGMA consortium were included to predict changes in 15 brain structures throughout the lifespan. The causal relationship between these depressive traits and the brain structure parameters was assessed by two-sample Mendelian randomization (including inverse-variance weighted). Sensitivity analyses were conducted for quality control. Depression slowed the decrease of cortical gray matter volume significantly throughout the lifespan (p = 0.001). Depression, anxiety, and mood disorders nominally decreased the rates of change of volume in the cerebellum gray matter, lateral ventricles, and cortical gray matter throughout the lifespan (p = 0.048, p = 0.021, p = 0.038, respectively). Antidepressants did not affect these rates of change significantly (p > 0.05). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the reliability of this study. Depression and its main symptoms have a slight effect on longitudinal changes in a few brain structures throughout the lifespan at the genetic level. These findings do not support the notion that depression affects macro-aging in the brain crucially.","PeriodicalId":50687,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Anatomy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142565051","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}

In the static state, the operative corridor gradually narrowed from L1-2 to L4-5, but there was no significant difference in its width between segments (p > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the corridor width between segments after retraction of the psoas major or the abdominal great arteries (p > 0.05). However, retraction of either the psoas major or the abdominal great arteries made the corridor at the L1-5 segments significantly wider than those in the static state (p < 0.05), particularly at L4-5, and the retractable distance of the psoas major was significantly greater (p < 0.05). The cadaveric model demonstrated the use of abdominal great arteries retraction in principle.

Flipped classrooms are one of the pedagogical approaches that have been found to enhance students' abilities and encourage in-depth learning. The current study aims to assess the attitudes and effects of flipped classrooms on neuroanatomy teaching among medical students compared to traditional classrooms.Methods: A quasi-experimental study was carried out during the period January through June 2023. The effectiveness of teaching neuroanatomy in flipped classrooms versus traditional classrooms was assessed using formative assessment and a pre-designed structured questionnaire. The questionnaire was composed of four sections assessing different domains on a Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).Results: The total sample reached 214 students. Most students' attitude statements covering skills, knowledge and learning process, and length of time were significantly in favor of flipped teaching at the expense of traditional teaching. Then mean examination grades were significantly higher for pre-test flipped and post-test flipped in comparison to pre-test and post-test traditional examination.Conclusions: Although the flipped classroom is an effective method of learning neuroanatomy as compared to traditional classes, it faces some challenges in its implementation. Such challenges need awareness and solutions from educational institutions.","PeriodicalId":50687,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Anatomy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142512356","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}

Among 864 scans, 770 were of sufficient quality for assessment (428 male, aged 59.2 ± 11.7 years). They were classified on the basis of the degrees of fusion of the SP and SS into a completely fused septum (CFS), patent foramen ovale (PFO), or LASP. The lengths of the SS, SP, and overlapping SP, the maximal length of the foramen ovale (FO) floor, and the atrial dimensions were compared. A PFO was seen in 181 patients (23.5%), a LASP in 242 (31.4%), and a CFS in 339 (44.0%). There were significant differences in the length of the SS (PFO-13.6 ± 4.3 mm, LASP-17.6 ± 4.8 mm, CFS-14.3 ± 7.7 mm, p < 0.001). Hearts with LASPs had a longer overlapping SP than those with PFOs (PFO-6.3 ± 4.5 mm, LASP-13.1 ± 5.2 mm, p < 0.001).

The selected studies reported that Genelyn embalming provided life-like joint range of motion, tissue pliability, and color. Cadaveric studies assessing embalming solutions typically had smaller sample sizes, and few of them compared Genelyn embalmed cadavers (GECs) with the other soft embalming solutions.

The dentogingival junction (DGJ) consists of both epithelial and connective tissues that are closely related to the tooth's mineralized tissues. Cutting-grinding techniques are commonly used to visualize DGJ histology. These techniques exclude enamel from preparations and focus on visualizing hard or soft tissues. To improve the micro-anatomical and histological study of this region, we applied micro-plastination technique to obtain micro-thin slices below 150 μm thick from human and animal samples. The DGJ microanatomy was visualized by applying histological stains to the micro-plastinated slices, highlighting the technique's endogenous autofluorescence capacity identifying periodontal tissues, including dentin, enamel, cementoenamel junction, dentinal tubules, connective tissue, and collagen. Based on our results, we confirm that micro-plastination is a useful technique for visualizing anatomical regions that are difficult to access, such as the DGJ. Micro-plastination can be used as an alternative technique, providing a new approach for its application in anatomical and morphological research protocols.","PeriodicalId":50687,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Anatomy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142394960","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}

Although a reduced bone mass density is considered one of the main risk factors for VOF, its role in determining the fracture type, using the AO spine-DGOU classification for osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures, as well as its progression, is unknown. The current study aimed to: (1) reveal whether the bone density of the vertebral bodies of fractured and non-fractured vertebrae predicts the type of fracture, (2) examine whether bone density is associated with the initial and progressive collapse of the vertebral body, and (3) provide predictive measures for fracture progression. The study sample included 124 patients (40 males and 84 females) with an acute osteoporotic vertebral fracture who underwent a computerized tomography scan at the time of diagnosis and an x-ray at least 3 months later. The bone density of the fractured and adjacent (non-fractured) vertebrae was measured at diagnosis. The magnitude of the collapse and the progression of the fracture over time were calculated from height measurements of the vertebral bodies at diagnosis and follow-up. Age was a significant factor in predicting the fracture type and magnitude of collapse, whereas sex and bone density were not. The severity of the fracture was involved in predicting its progression, demonstrating that severe-type fractures tended to continue to collapse after diagnosis. However, when each type was examined independently, the density of the fractured vertebra had a protective effect on fracture progression. To conclude, identifying the type of fracture is beneficial in determining patient prognosis. Furthermore, the density of the fractured vertebra, the magnitude of collapse, and patient age are valuable predictors of fracture progression.","PeriodicalId":50687,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Anatomy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142376279","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 assessed the feasibility of US-guided CNB in different topographical regions of human cadavers: the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF), fascia lata (FL), and crural fascia (CF). The results, confirmed by histological examination, revealed no significant difference in needle placements between the in-plane approaches in the long and short axes for all locations and fasciae studied (long axis: 91.88%; short axis: 96.22%); p > 0.05. US-guided core needle biopsy with the in-plane approach is feasible, consistent and reliable.
