This study aimed to investigate the shape, consistency of the glenoid labrum, and whether these and its thickness and depth are age related. Methods: A total of 140 shoulders were dissected to expose the glenoid labrum. the shape and consistency of the glenoid labrum were assessed at a gross level. Measurements were taken of the labrum depth and thickness, using callipers, in the superior, anterior, inferior and posterior regions. ANOVA and chi-square tests were conducted to determine statistical significance, which was set at p<0.05. Results: The consistency of the superior half of the labrum was rubbery in 97.9% of specimens and firm in the remaining 2.1%, whereas the entire inferior half was firm. There was a significant difference (p=0.043) in the consistency of the superior half between males and females. The superior half was triangular in 95.7% of specimens, flat in 2.1% and flat to triangular in 2.1%, whereas the shape of the inferior half was rounded in 99.3% of specimens and flat in 0.7%. The labrum was observed to be thicker in younger individuals, with the differences being significant superiorly (p=0.011), anteriorly (p=0.050), inferiorly (p=0.001) and posteriorly (p=0.047). It was also observed to be deeper in younger individuals, but only significantly so superiorly (p=0.044). Conclusion: Labrum thickness and depth significantly decreased with increasing age, suggesting that these observations could be age-related.","PeriodicalId":91999,"journal":{"name":"Anatomy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90730371","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}

Providing adequate information regarding body donation process and emphasizing the importance of use of donated bodies in anatomy education will help the individuals who consider body donation. Current legislation that regulates body donation in Turkey does not provide details on the consent process. Additionally, recent research showed that registered Turkish body donors have various opinions on the use of their bodies, sharing their personal information with the departments and medical students, and retention time of their bodies or body parts. This resulted in non-standard or modified donation forms across different institutions. Therefore, the Turkish Society of Anatomy and Clinical Anatomy (TSACA) decided that a standard and more comprehensive body donation form that addresses contemporary topics was necessary. The newly established Committee for Body Donation and Cadaver Monitoring has been assigned with this task. As of May 2020, the Committee had finalized the updated body donation form according to departmental feedback and donors’ opinions. This paper outlines the existing data and reasons along with the legal grounds for the current update.","PeriodicalId":91999,"journal":{"name":"Anatomy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84872790","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}

{"title":"In reply to: what is new about triticeal cartilage?","authors":"R. Koca, Z. Fazlıoğulları","doi":"10.2399/ANA.20.0000LE","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2399/ANA.20.0000LE","url":null,"abstract":"We would like to thank Dr. Vatansever for his interest in our paper and for spending time to express his contributions. His valuable comments provided us significant insight regarding the content and the analysis of our study. We would like to kindly provide further details regarding the newly observed shapes of triticeal cartilages taking the calcification pattern into account. The study on triticeal cartilage primarily aims to prevent confusion with atheroma plaques, which may occur in the common carotid artery. The atheroma plaques are important to recognize since they have a potential risk of causing stroke and can easily be mixed with calcified triticeal cartilage during the evaluation of radiological images since they both have similar anatomical location. Triticeal cartilage measurements of Koca et al. were made on computed tomography images. The measurements made by Alqahtani et al. and Vatansever et al. were examined on computed tomography angiography and triticeal cartilage was classified according to its shape in a similar pattern. Joshi et al. studied the triticeal cartilage on cadavers and classified the cartilage according to its shape as oval, circular, pyramidal, spindle and cylindrical. However, as shown in the tables and figures of the study by Koca et al., different types of triticeal cartilage were reported as hook, double circle and ring, which were not previously identified. These cartilages were named according to the shapes in which they were observed. “Ring-shaped triticeal cartilage” was observed in 12 (7.19%) out of 167 males, while it was not detected in 65 females (p=0.02). In the post hoc G-power analysis performed to determine the strength of this difference, the statistical power was calculated as 98.8%. Ring-shaped cartilage with a cavity may be due to the calcification which started from the outside of the cartilage while the middle was not yet calcified. On the other hand, “double circleshaped triticeal cartilage” was viewed as if the two cartilages were placed on top of one another, although it was actually single. Furthermore, in “hook-shaped triticeal cartilage”, the calcification of the cartilages might have started unilaterally from the right or left side as a thin, incomplete round shape like a crescent. To sum up, triticeal cartilage variations were investigated more comprehensively and new shapes of cartilages were added to the already known types by Koca et al. We suggest that histological studies in large series of cadavers will be more effective to identify new types and make comment on calcification status of triticeal cartilage.","PeriodicalId":91999,"journal":{"name":"Anatomy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85081746","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}

Face-to-face education in universities had shifted to the distance learning including medical schools. Our aim in this study was to understand the problems faced by medical students during pandemic period, as well as to determine the possible benefits of distance learning through a web-based questionnaire system, and to compare it with face-to-face learning. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with a structured internet-based questionnaire. The sample of the study consists of 335 medical students who volunteered to participate in the study. The students took the anatomy course remotely during the Covid-19 and had access to the internet-based questionnaire. Results: Medical students thought that the online theoretical and practical anatomy lectures were not sufficient for their medical profession. Most of the students were opposed to providing practical lectures in the form of distance learning. Students were not satisfied with the anatomy lectures they took during this period. Conclusion: This study showed that the medical students did not look positively towards distance learning. Further studies should be conducted to assess the effectiveness of various distance learning strategies for better anatomy education.","PeriodicalId":91999,"journal":{"name":"Anatomy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79848394","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 results from retrograde progression of low weight air bubbles into dural venous sinuses during manipulation of a venous catheter, more frequently a central venous catheter through the subclavian and the jugular veins. However, it may also occur in relation with a peripheral intravenous catheter as in our case. We report a 91 year old female patient with congestive heart failure who had been examined in our emergency department two days previously due to dyspnea and received diuretic treatment through a peripheral intravenous line. She presented with vomiting and headache without obvious neurological deficits. Non-contrast cranial CT scan revealed wide spread punctate air bubbles inside and outside the cranial vault (pneumocephalus), within the venous system. The pneumocephalus was considered as iatrogenic due to the previous peripheral venous catheterization that resulted in retrograde migration of air bubbles through various venous connections into dural venous sinuses and extracranial veins. Since cerebral venous air embolism is a potentially serious complication of various medical procedures, it should be considered in differential diagnosis of nontraumatic headache and vomiting especially when there is a recent manipulation of venous lines. Cranial CT scan is helpful for early diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":91999,"journal":{"name":"Anatomy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78867353","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 present study aimed to evaluate the angular parameters of the mandible in TMD patients with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to compare with healthy controls. Methods: A total of 107 patients (54 in the TMD group and 53 in the control group) were included in the study. Ten angular measurements including right and left sides and 4 different length measurements were evaluated on CBCT images of both groups to eliminate individual differences. The differences between the two groups were examined using the significance test or Mann-Whitney U test. Multiple linear regression analysis was used for a detailed examination of the relationship between parameters. Results: The upper face width was significantly higher in the TMD group (p=0.004). After correcting for the upper face width value, there was a significant difference between the groups in terms of the right b angle values (p=0.001). The other differences were not significant (p>0.05).

Thus, we intended to provide a better understanding of the three-dimensional anatomy of the pelvis for education and research purposes. Methods: The standard plastination method was combined with the section plastination technique. The coronal pelvis sections of 8mm thickness were passed through the plastination stages. At these stages, unlike the techniques in the literature, surgical aspirator was used for cleaning the surfaces of the sections and xylene was used for lightening the plastinates. Results: At the end of the plastination stages, the sections preserved the real color and texture extremely well. Sections were dry, odorless, hygienic and could be handled without special precaution. Moreover, anatomical details were very clear and understandable, so that any structure could be measured photogrammetrically. Conclusion: Examination of the pelvic anatomy with coronal sections via plastination method could be very effectively used in education and research. In this way, a technological and up-to-date innovation can be provided for the development and understanding of three-dimensional anatomy. Real examination of cross-sectional anatomy instead of virtual radiological images can provide a useful and effective tool for both students and researchers.","PeriodicalId":91999,"journal":{"name":"Anatomy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85570647","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: The present study was conducted on X-Ray images of 208 healthy individuals (103 males and 105 females) admitted to Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University, Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinics. Both genders were separated into 3 different age groups. Statistical analyses were made to determine the difference between the gender and age groups. Results: The mean inclination angle of the femur was 132.88±7.08º on the right-side and 130.27±7.81º on the left. The mean Alsberg angle of the femur was 42.07±7.04º on the right-side and 41.43±7.03º on the left. The inclination angle was significantly higher in males than females on both sides and was significantly lower in 41–60 age group. The Alsberg angle was also significantly higher in males than females in 21–40 age group. Conclusion: The Alsberg angle is positively related with inclination angle, and subject to change by age. Knowing how IA and AA will be affected by age and gender and knowing the relation between these two angles will help to take a more accurate approach while evaluating and managing the follow up of a patient undergoing total hip arthroplasty, reconstructive surgery or planning physical theraphy.","PeriodicalId":91999,"journal":{"name":"Anatomy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83760877","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}
