ABSTRACT Nowadays, consent to use donor bodies for medical education and research is obtained from the body donors their families before donation. Recently, International Federation of Associations Anatomists (IFAA) published guidelines that could restrict appearance cadaveric images in commercial anatomical resources such as textbooks other educational products. These state must expressly using this purpose. Cadaveric photos drawings made dissections cadavers have been used anatomy atlases...

<h3>Background:</h3> Recent clinical reports suggest that intraneural needle placement may not always lead to neurologic injury. To explain the absence of complications in these reports, we studied risk and extent nerve injury after intentional needle-nerve a cryopreserved human sciatic nerve. <h3>Methods:</h3> The was dissected from cadaver through partial exposure. Needles were inserted nerve, using blunt-tip (30 degrees beveled) (group A) sharp-tip (15 D) needles. Five insertions made for...

Abstract Histological observation under light microscopy has long been used in human cadaveric studies. However, it can distort the interpretations of findings if not appropriately; there is no guide for its proper use. The aim this article to revisit and discuss correct use histology studies, following discussions with experts multiple fields medicine, create first such usage. We reached a consensus experts, agreeing that when principle (structure, quantification, interaction, position:...

For successful, fast-onset sciatic popliteal block (SPB), either a single injection above the division of nerve, or 2 injections to tibial nerve (TN) and common peroneal (CPN) separately have been recommended. In this study, we compared traditional stimulator (NS)-guided SPB with ultrasound (US)-guided local anesthetic (LA) between TN CPN at level their division. We hypothesized that US-SPB would result in faster onset than single-injection NS-SPB.Fifty-two patients were randomized receive...

It is still between 1.7% 1.9%.1,2Use stimulation techniques do guarantee avoidance puncture.3,4Bearing these questions mind, we devised a research protocol, which was approved by Ethical Committee our Hospital, included computerized tomographic (CT) scan examination with aim having better chances avoiding vulnerable...

Distances from brachial plexus to the coracoid process and pleura are critical for performing infraclavicular block. We evaluated influence of arm abduction on position neurovascular bundle relative skin, using ultrasonography.An ultrasound examination at level was performed 26 patients. axillary artery were measured noted with different degrees (0 , 45 90 ). Vertical block then by means nerve stimulation in 14 additional patients undergoing hand surgery.Under examination, distance skin...

This study aimed to describe the intraosseous blood supply of distal radius and its clinical implications in fractures. Twelve adult wrists from fresh cadavers (six males, six females, 50-90 years age, mean 68 years) were injected through brachial artery with latex. Dissections performed using magnifying loupes hands processed Spalteholz technique. The was supplied by three main vascular systems: epiphyseal, metaphyseal, diaphyseal. palmar epiphyseal vessels branched radial artery, carpal...

In Brief BACKGROUND: Spinal nerve root cuffs may be relevant in selective and epidural blockade. METHODS: We examined the ultrastructural aspects of spinal cuffs, such as their cellular fibrillar components, using special histological staining methods, transmission scanning electron microscopy, from six human cadavers. RESULTS: The morphology cuff resembles that subdural compartment. Cells gather together compact layers due to specialized junctions. thickness its is 5 8 microns; cells appear...

During routine dissection a subclavius posticus muscle was found on the left side of male cadaver. This arose from upper margin scapula and transverse scapular ligament, inserted in superior first rib cartilage, innervated by small branch suprascapular nerve. The anatomical relationships supernumerary with brachial plexus subclavian artery is suggestive possible cause thoracic outlet syndrome therefore clinical significance. Clin.
