Abstract Autophagy is a conserved pathway that maintains cellular quality control. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) controls various aspects of cell physiology including proliferation. Multiple signalling cascades, ERK, have been shown to regulate autophagy, however whether autophagy proteins (ATG) unknown. Here we show growth factor exposure increases the interaction ERK cascade components with ATG in cytosol and nucleus. its upstream MEK localize extra-luminal face...
Medical students are expected to perform common procedures such as suturing on patients during their third‐year clerkships. However, these experiences often viewed by medical stressors rather than opportunities for learning. The source of this stress is the lack instruction prior being asked observe or procedure a patient. First‐time exposures in stressful environments may result decreased confidence and decrease frequency with which they future. authors sought change paradigm by: (1)...
Bone marrow biopsy is generally a safe procedure. However, infrequently the procedure associated with serious injuries that are attributed to inadvertent needle penetration of iliac bone's inner cortex. An evidence-based approach orientation during crest does not exist. In our study, posterior anterior path bone from superior spine (PSIS) was studied in human cadavers two orientations: (1) perpendicularly coronal plane (the perpendicular approach) and (2) laterally toward ipsilateral (ASIS)...
Adverse effects of large artery stiffening are well established in the systemic circulation; proximal pulmonary (PPA) and its sequelae poorly understood. We combined vivo (n = 6) with ex data from cadavers 8) organ donors 13), ages 18 to 89, assess whether aging PPA associates changes distensibility, biaxial wall strain, thickness, vessel diameter, composition. Aging exhibited significant negative associations distensibility cyclic strain (p ≤ 0.05), decreasing circumferential axial strains...
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) occurs when plaque accumulates in the arterial system and obstructs blood flow. Narrowing of abdominal aorta common iliac arteries due to atherosclerotic plaques restricts supply lower limbs. Clinically, limb symptoms PAD are intermittent claudication, discoloration toes, skin ulcers, all insufficiency. Surgical revascularization is primary mode treatment for patients with severe ischemia. The objective surgical procedure bypass a blockage an occluded major...
Purpose: To evaluate a human cadaveric model in improving knowledge and comfort of ophthalmology residents performing lateral canthotomy/cantholysis.Methods: A prospective study was conducted residents, who participated workshop including an interactive lecture followed by hands-on training on cadaver. The consisted the indications techniques canthotomy/cantholysis, along with video-demonstration proper technique. Residents practiced procedure cadavers under faculty supervision. Knowledge...
Muscle and tendon variations in the forearm, wrist hand are commonly reported anatomical surgical literature. They frequently source of inflammatory conditions such as de Quervain’s tenosynovitis or carpal tunnel syndrome. During academic dissection, a cadaver presented with bilateral, additional muscles running parallel to abductor pollicis longus (APL) extensor compartment forearm. Both had two bellies, one proximal distal, an intervening tendon. The bellies were separate distinct from...
This paper reports a rare anatomical variant of the facial artery (FA) - namely, double FA pattern which has significant implications in wide range surgical and aesthetic medicine disciplines.
A common variant of accessory muscles in the anterior forearm is Gantzer’s muscle (GM). GM arises as a belly from flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) or ulnar coronoid process to merge distally with pollicis longus (FPL) muscle. In present case report, we describe novel compartment forearm. The proximal attachment was tendinous and came three sources: FDS muscle, process, medial aspect radius. distal tendon ran parallel FPL, passed through carpal tunnel, entered palmar hand. hand, thinned...
Understanding anatomical variations as well normal anatomy of the muscles and tendons hand is vital for successful clinical evaluation surgery. A number extensor muscle tendon have been reported in literature, including duplication, triplication, absence. We report a rare variation that includes bilateral absence indicis (EI) duplication digitorum (ED) to second digit forearm an 83-year-old male cadaver during routine upper limbs dissection. In present case, only three were deep compartment:...
Background: The maxillary artery supplies the deep structures of face and cranium. mandibular nerve form a clinically important relation in infratemporal fossa. Variations may complicate dental, oral, maxillofacial surgeries this region. Methods: During routine academic dissection 91-year-old Caucasian female cadaver, pterygoid segment left was found medial to posterior division Results: coursed superior point remained undivided. Conclusion: This rare unilateral variation will be interest...
During dissection of the upper limb a cadaver in preparation for first-year anatomy course, an extensor indicis proprius (EIP) variant was discovered with its muscle belly extending distal to retinaculum and beyond what has been previously described literature.EIP is commonly used as tendon transfer pollicis longus rupture. Few anatomic variants EIP have reported literature, but such should be considered because their consequences success potential implications diagnosis otherwise...
The thoracic cavity contains vital cardiovascular and pulmonary structures. Few congenital anatomical variations in the bronchial tree vasculature have been reported. Understanding such variants is crucial during surgical procedures that involve thorax. During routine dissection of an 89-year-old male cadaver as part a first-year anatomy course, anomaly was discovered. left lung hilum notable for artery being posterior to mainstem bronchus. case report describes normal development...
As first-year medical students, we were excited, but nervous, to start the anatomy course. We prepared dedicate ourselves physical demands of dissection, and hours memorizing names relations countless anatomic features. expected leave course with a comprehensive understanding human body that would apply our future studies careers. not prepared, however, for experience had cadaver, Lucy.* Lucy was small woman, as learned, she endured lot, physically medically, in her 83 years life. She...
