Sensory innervation of the human shoulder joints in healthy and in chronic pain shoulder syndromes
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings report a global innervation map of the human shoulder joints, especially the glenohumeral one, and this knowledge might be of interest for arthroscopic surgeons allowing to develop more selective and unhurt treatments, controlling the pain, and avoiding the loss of afferent innervation after surgical procedures. To the light of our results the postero-inferior glenohumeral capsular region seems to be the more adequate to be a surgical portal (surgical access area) to prevent nerve lesions.PMID:38154784 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2023.152206 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)

Hotspots of facial artery perforators and perforasomes for easier flap guidance:  An anatomical study
CONCLUSION: This study provides evidence of two predominant locations of emergence of facial artery perforators. Additionally, the significant correlation between perforator size and its appendant perforasomes as well as their location with reference to the anterior nasal spine as relevant osseous landmarks helps surgeons in decision making for flap design and surgery.PMID:38142798 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2023.152205 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)

Hepatic portal vein branching patterns according to different liver assessment methods and classifications of branching type
CONCLUSION: Somatoscopic evaluation of the branching patterns of the hepatic portal vein in corroded specimens and their CT reconstructions did not differ significantly (which allows relatively accurate comparison of old specimens with newer data). However, the ability to evaluate the reconstructed 3D images of the specimens allowed a more accurate assessment of segmental branching and measurements of lengths and diameters. Standard HPV branching (according to a self-developed classification) in this study was 85.7%. Depending on the classification, the rate of standard branching in the same corrosive samples varied from 6...

Pathways and morphologic pattern of BLOOD SUPPLY OF EPICARDIAL GANGLIONATED NERVE PLEXUS
This study addresses this by mapping the routes and morphological pattern of blood supply to the epicardial GP in a large-animal pig model (Sus scrofa domesticus). Twenty-five domestic pigs were used in the study. We demonstrate that the epicardial ganglionated nerves receive blood from both coronary and extra-cardiac arteries. The coronary arterial branches supply blood to all five subplexuses constituting the epicardial GP. In contrast, the branches of extra-cardiac arteries supply blood to target heart areas: 1) the venous part of the heart hilum on the left atrium, 2) the walls of the sinuses of the right cranial (supe...

Clinical anatomy of the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve: is there any safe zone for interventional approach?
CONCLUSION: The study provides morphological data on the LACN distribution, branching pattern and relationship to surrounding structures in a context of clinical use in different spheres of medicine. The branching pattern of the LACN appears to be more constant compared to data provided by previous authors. We emphasized the meaning of cross-sectional relationship of the LACN to the CV to avoid venipuncture outside the cubital fossa if possible. The posterior branch of the LACN was predicted as appropriate donor of the graft for a digital nerve. The LACN appeared to be in a close proximity within the whole length of the br...
