The main objectives are to explore the incidence, embryological origins, clinical manifestations, and associated anomalies of this unique vascular condition. The study involves a detailed investigation of a 55-year-old male with a history of recurrent transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) using MRI and CT scan. The patient’s medical history, clinical examination, and imaging results were systematically analyzed to provide a thorough understanding of the anatomical variations. The main findings include the rare coexistence of bilateral ICA agenesis and a bovine aortic arch, making this the 39th documented occurrence of bilateral ICA agenesis and the first recorded instance of its association with a bovine aortic arch. Also, the study highlighted the demographic characteristics, clinical presentations, and associated anomalies observed in the 38 documented cases of bilateral internal carotid artery agenesis. This case report contributes valuable insights into the rarity of bilateral internal carotid artery agenesis and its unprecedented association with a bovine aortic arch. The findings emphasize the importance of heightened anatomical awareness in clinical practice, particularly. Recognizing and understanding such variations is crucial for accurate diagnosis, appropriate management, and improved patient outcomes. Further research in this area is warranted to deepen our understanding of these complex vascular anomalies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7816,"journal":{"name":"Anatomical Science International","volume":"100 1","pages":"15 - 24"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142124530","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 report a unique complex venous pattern of concomitant circumaortic and retro-aortic left renal veins associated with a fenestrated left renal artery. Two renal veins, anterior and posterior to the renal artery, originated from the renal hilum. The anterior vein was further divided into two branches. One branch passed through the fenestrated renal artery to continue as the anterior limb of the circumaortic vein. It received the suprarenal and gonadal veins and drained into the inferior vena cava. The other branch coursed posterior to the fenestrated renal artery and joined the posterior renal vein. The posterior renal vein was divided into two branches: one forming the posterior limb of the circumaortic vein, and the other continued obliquely downwards as the retro-aortic vein. Variations in the left renal vein have been implicated in several clinical conditions, such as varicocele and pelvic varices. It also plays a crucial role in renal transplantation, as the left kidney is often used as the donor organ. Even though many reports have been published on circumaortic and retro-aortic veins, the complex venous pattern associated with a fenestrated renal artery has not been reported previously.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7816,"journal":{"name":"Anatomical Science International","volume":"100 2","pages":"243 - 246"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142118772","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 MH is a concept proposed by us and is the only site of entrance or exit of blood vessels and nerves associated with the meniscus. The purpose of this study was to provide a structural explanation for the disparity of blood supply to the LM using the concept of MH. Sixteen knees were examined to investigate the blood supply to LM. In most areas, the femoral joint capsule (FJC) and tibial joint capsule (TJC) continued to the cranial and caudal edges of the LM, respectively. In the roots, the FJC and TJC covered the femoral and the outer-femoral surfaces. In contrast, the FJC in the PH did not attach to the cranial edge and only the TJC there did to the caudal edge of the LM. Histochemical examination showed that the blood vessels enter the LM via the MH. In the PH, the MH at the caudal edge was extremely narrow; and in the roots, the MH on the outer-femoral surfaces was wide. The results suggest that the difference in the width of the MH affected the scarcity and abundance of blood supply to the LM.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7816,"journal":{"name":"Anatomical Science International","volume":"100 2","pages":"163 - 170"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12565-024-00797-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142103597","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}

Our study aims to investigate the correlation between the 2.4 finger ratio and nasal structure among young adults aged 18–25 through detailed morphometric analysis. The study was conducted on 205 students (Female:127, Male:78) aged between 18 and 25 years studying at Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University Faculty of Medicine. Morphometric measurements of the hand and nose were also measured and recorded by the same researcher. The volunteers were divided into eight groups for age and four groups for BMI. Statistical analysis was performed and p < 0.05 was considered significant. The evaluation revealed significant differences between sexes and the 2D:4D ratio. While no significant relationship was found between age and the 2D:4D ratio, correlations were present with some nasal parameters. A significant relationship was found between the BMI and the right hand 2D:4D ratio (p < 0.05). A positive correlation was observed between the BMI and certain nasal parameters. Furthermore, significant relationships were identified between the 2D:4D ratio and certain nasal parameters (p < 0.05). The data obtained from our study will contribute to the understanding of nasal development, sex determination in forensic medicine, and the diagnosis and treatment of pathologies related to the nose.

It was recorded whether the LCFA originated from the femoral artery (FA) or the deep femoral artery (DFA). The distances of LCFA from the mid-inguinal point (MIP) and DFA; and the diameters of LCFA and its branches were measured with metric caliper. Side differences were analyzed by Wilcoxon test. The mean shortest distance from the LCFA to the MIP was 59.45 ± 13.06 mm and to the DFA was 19.23 ± 9.63 mm.

The LCFA originated from 80.8% DFA and 19.2% FA. Data were evaluated jointly (p > 0.05). In one case, an accessory transverse branch was found. Spearman analysis shows that as the distance between the LCFA and the MIP increased, the diameter of the LCFA and its branches increased. Knowledge of the LCFA branching pattern is essential for interventional options in arterial grafts, such as bypass surgery, pedicled flaps, and surgical approaches to the hip joint.

This experimental study aimed to evaluate the effect of growth hormone on motor function and dendrite morphology in rats with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced PD model. Thirty-six Sprague Dawley rats were included and randomly allocated into one of the six study groups: two controls and four treatment groups that received daily subcutaneous growth hormone injections for 21 days, 1, 2, and 3 months. PD model was induced through unilateral 6-OHDA injection to the nigrostriatal pathway. The following assessments were made: apomorphine rotation test, stepping test, and tissue examinations for tyrosine hydroxylase and dendrite morphology. The apomorphine rotation test and the stepping test confirmed the presence of PD. These tests as well as dendritic spine density/number and length assessments showed improvement in PD findings over time with GH administration. Findings of this study suggest that GH administration may improve dendrite morphology and motor function in the PD model, which may translate into symptom relief and quality of life improvement in patients with PD.
