Recent studies showed that 28–58% of TLE patients had a previous history of complex febrile convulsions (CFC). We compared the hippocampal volumes and volumes of amygdaloid body and widths of fornix and mammillary bodies on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of TLE patients with and without history of CFC. Methods: MRI scans of 42 subjects retrospectively examined. The amount of atrophy in hippocampus, amygdaloid body, fornix and mammillary bodies were determined by two formulas depending on the mean values of the controls. Results: We found no difference between TLE patients with a history of CFC and TLE patients without such a history in terms of all the quantitative measurements results (p>0.05) except the absolute right-left hippocampus volume and fornix % difference rate (p<0.01, p<0.05 respectively). Conclusion: Forniceal atrophy was more prominent in the TLE group of patients with previous CFC history when compared to those patients without a CFC history. The CFCs should not be underestimated in the childhood, as they are associated with more atrophy in the particular brain structures in patients with TLE.","PeriodicalId":91999,"journal":{"name":"Anatomy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80335012","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}

We aimed to define the location of WT using the palpable bone landmarks which can be used as reliable landmarks in eyelid and orbital surgery to prevent the damage of stuctures associated with WT. Methods: Forty-four adult skulls (22 right, 22 left) were included to the study. The skulls were divided into two groups according to the apparancy of the WT. The distances from WT to the frontozygomatic suture, the marginal tubercle, the anterior point of the zygomatic arch, and the lateral margin of the orbit were measured. The clock positions of WT according to the marginal tubercle and the anterior point of the zygomatic arc were determined. Results: The distances of the WT to the marginal tubercle, the anterior point of the zygomatic arch, the lateral margin of the orbit, and the frontozygomatic suture were 9.92±1.65 mm, 16.48±1.86 mm, 2.32±0.53 mm and 9.66±1.44 mm, respectively. WT was at 8 and 9 o’clock positions on the left, and at 4, 3, and 2 o’clock positions on the right according to the marginal tubercle. WT was at 10 o’clock position on the left, and 2 and 1 o’clock positions on the right according to the anterior point of the zygomatic arch. Conclusion: The marginal tubercle, the lateral margin of the orbit, and the anterior point of the zygomatic arch can be used as standart bony landmarks in eyelid and orbital surgery to prevent the soft tissue damage relevant to WT. The high kappa values of the interclass and intraclass correlations suggest that these parameters are reliable and repeatable for clinical use. Out of these parameters, the anterior point of the zygomatic arch is more beneficial to locate the WT because of the standard clock positions. The WT is typically located at 10 o’clock position on the left and 2 o’clock position on the right according to the anterior point of the zygomatic arch.","PeriodicalId":91999,"journal":{"name":"Anatomy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88748474","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 aim of the study was to investigate the course of the common fibular nerve and its branches (deep and superficial fibular nerves) around the fibular neck in order to describe a convenient method for applying the lower extremity casts with low risk of fibular nerve entrapment. Methods: Fifty lower extremities of 26 cadavers were examined. The point where common fibular nerve itself or its branches (deep and superficial fibular nerves) crossed over the fibular neck were dissected. The points where the nerve or its branches have risk of compression between the fibula and the cast were investigated in relation to fibular length. Results: The average fibular length was 356.9±26.4 mm. The common fibular nerve did not pass over the fibular neck in any specimen, instead, its branches crossed over it. The average distance from the tip of the fibular head to deep fibular nerve and superficial fibular nerve were 42.9±6.5 mm and 52±6.3 mm, respectively. The mean ratio of fibular length to these distances were 8.5±1.2 and 7.0±0.8, respectively. Conclusion: As short knee casts is a frequent application in clinical practice, it is important to determine a safe upper border for the casts to protect common fibular nerve or its branches. We recommend that the upper border of short leg casts should not exceed the upper 1/7th of the fibular length of the patient in order to avoid fibular nerve palsy.","PeriodicalId":91999,"journal":{"name":"Anatomy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79272684","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}

But during the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of the 2019–2020 academic year, many universities were forced to conduct distance education exclusively. The aim of this study is to determine the perceptions, thoughts, and experiences of university students regarding the completely online process of distance education during this period. Methods: In this process, all theoretical lessons and exams were conducted on the advance learning management system (ALMS) for distance education at İstinye University. The present study used the original form of WEBLEI to survey 324 students from medicine, pharmacy and health science departments at İstinye University. Results: WEBLEI measures students’ perceptions using four scales: access, interaction, response and results. Though students did not experience problems accessing online lessons or interacting with their teachers and other students, they did not find online distance education alone more effective and satisfying than combined with face-to-face education. Conclusion: This study contributes to a better understanding of the pros and cons of distance education by evaluating the attitudes and perceptions of university students.","PeriodicalId":91999,"journal":{"name":"Anatomy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80512321","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 aim of the study was to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of physicians who are frequently consulted by body donors. Methods: In this descriptive study, questionnaire form which consisted of three parts and 20 questions was prepared. In the first part, demographic informations; in the second part; the physicians’ answers to frequently asked body donation questions and physician responsibilities in the process; in the third part, the physicians’ request for information was questioned. The survey was conducted online. Results: Of the 238 physicians from 33 different provinces (aged between 25–68 years, 58.8% female, 41.2% male), 62.6% were specialist, 37.4% were non-specialized. 12.6% of them stated that at least one person applied to them for body donation. While only 52.5% of the physicians chose the Anatomy Departments to direct the donor, 35.3% chose the Organ Donation Units. 80.3% did not know that the body of an individual who did not fill out the donation form could be donated by their relatives and 29.4% did not know that body donation does not prevent organ donation. 90.8% of the physicians stated that they needed to be informed about the laws and procedures related to cadaver donation. Conclusion: The study reveals that physicians do not have enough information about body donation and they demand to be informed about it. The findings should be carefully evaluated as a factor that may adversely affect the decision of the body donor who cannot be properly guided by the physicians.","PeriodicalId":91999,"journal":{"name":"Anatomy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91352328","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}

It is an important structure for protecting the median nerve and brachial artery. The aim of this study was to analyze the morphometry and shape of the bicipital aponeurosis and its implications for the protection of the median nerve and brachial artery. Methods: Upper extremities of two fresh frozen and seven embalmed cadavers (five right, four left sides) were dissected. The ages of the cadavers varied between 60–86 years. The central length, superior width, central width, inferior width and the shape of bicipital aponeurosis were evaluated. All measurements were performed by using digital caliper. Results: The central length of the bicipital aponeurosis was measured 3.6±1.2 cm. The superior, central and inferior width of the bicipital aponeurosis were found 1.5±0.7 cm, 1.5±0.6 cm and 1.8±0.8 cm, respectively. Through the examination of upper extremities; two different shapes of bicipital aponeurosis were observed. In type I; the bicipital aponeurosis was fusiform in shape and observed in four upper extremities. In five extremities, it was found as quadrangular in shape and classified as type II. Conclusion: The morphometry and shape of bicipital aponeurosis have a clinical importance to protect the median nerve and brachial artery or to reduce compression of these neurovascular structures. A better understanding of bicipital aponeurosis morphometry is important in assessment of biomechanical properties of biceps brachii.","PeriodicalId":91999,"journal":{"name":"Anatomy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82230729","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}

Methods: One-hundred and forty cadaveric shoulders were examined bilaterally in the Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification, University of Dundee, which is regulated by Human Tissue Act (Scotland) 2006. Branches arising from the third part of the axillary artery were dissected and the diameter, origin, subsequent branching patterns of each branch were documented, as well as gender. T-tests and chi-square tests were used to determine the association between the variables. Results: The most common variations were associated with the posterior circumflex humeral artery (48.3%), followed by the anterior circumflex humeral (25%) and subscapular arteries (16.7%). Variations of the anterior circumflex humeral artery were more common in females than males (p<0.05). A significant association between the origin of posterior circumflex humeral artery and its subsequent branching pattern was observed. In females, the anterior circumflex humeral artery was more likely to give rise to the profunda brachii when it originated from the posterior circumflex humeral artery. Conclusion: Branches of the third part of the axillary artery vary in diameter, origin and subsequent branching patterns and the gender. An understanding of these variations is essential for accurate radiological diagnostic interpretation and therapeutic intervention. The difference in the variations observed and those reported in the literature suggest the need for further large scale studies.","PeriodicalId":91999,"journal":{"name":"Anatomy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73973243","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}
