The advantages of utilizing different ultrasound imaging techniques on joints of human cadavers in the teaching of anatomy - a scoping review
CONCLUSION: The current study, in our perspective, is the first scoping review to screen ultrasound studies on human cadaver joints. A heterogeneous field was shown by the methodological investigation. We suggest using a uniform method for conducting and presenting ultrasound examinations in future studies.PMID:37879500 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2023.152179 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)

The influence of collaborative learning and self-organization on medical students' academic performance in anatomy
CONCLUSION: Initiative collaborative learners showed a higher degree of realistic self-assessment. This could be explained through a more distinct social referencing, as fellow students' knowledge levels can be related early on to their own academic performance. There was no correlation between the learning strategies used and the exam result.PMID:37879501 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2023.152182 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)

Development of the human primary and secondary jaw joints
This study investigates the development of the primary and secondary jaw joints in humans, focusing on their concomitance and subsequent disconnection. Development begins with the primary temporomandibular joint as a connection between Meckel's cartilage and the incus, while the secondary temporomandibular joint develops anteriorly as an articulation between the mandibular condyle and the mandibular fossa. Previous research in mice has provided insights into the morphogenesis of these joints, but their specific development of the 3D morphogenesis in humans remains unclear. To address this gap, histological serial sections ...

Early functional and morphological changes of calf muscles in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) assessed with 7T MRI
CONCLUSIONS: 7T MRI has the potential to visualize microstructural muscle damage immediately after an exercise that induces DOMS. No changes in susceptibility which could, for example, reflect micro-hemorrhage, could be detected with SWI immediately after exercise or in DOMS. Ultra-high field MRI may potentially be used in sports medicine to monitor intramuscular structural changes, allowing for modification of training intensity or to implement appropriate therapeutic strategies.PMID:37871829 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2023.152181 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)

The anatomical variability of obturator vessels: Systematic review of literature
CONCLUSIONS: According to reviewed studies, variant obturator vessels are present in a great number of patients. Due to their possible calibre larger than 3 mm they represent a structure of high clinical importance. It is important to unify the terminology and to stress out the significance to all clinicians.PMID:37865385 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2023.152167 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)

Anatomical variants of the retroaortic left renal vein
CONCLUSIONS: New morphological possibilities of the LRV were distinguished, and a new anatomical classification system of the RLRV results. The RLRV variant should be documented case-by-case as it has its anatomical variables.PMID:37844738 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2023.152170 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)

Clinical Anatomy of the Spina Musculi Recti Lateralis: A Frequently Overlooked Variation of the Greater Wing of the Sphenoid
CONCLUSIONS: The SMRL is a process of the sphenoidal orbital plate rather than of the SOF. It is also a reliable landmark for the insertion of the tendinous ring and lateral rectus. Orbital surgeons should be aware of this common variant of the orbital apex.PMID:37839616 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2023.152168 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)

A review on the use of porcine in tendon research
In conclusion, pigs have been widely used as a good animal model of tendon research. However, the limitations of porcine tendon research (the lack of anatomical research and in vivo studies) should be given more attention in future studies.PMID:37806500 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2023.152166 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)
