OsteoMac: a new player on the bone biology scene
Ann Anat. 2024 Mar 14:152244. doi: 10.1016/j.aanat.2024.152244. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe knowledge of bone biology has undergone major advances in recent decades. In bone, resorbing osteoclasts have classically been described as tissue-resident macrophages, however, it is currently known that a new subtype of macrophages, called OsteoMacs, are specialised bone-resident macrophages, which, depending on certain conditions, may play an important role not only in bone homeostasis, but also in promoting pro-anabolic functions or in creating an inflammatory environment. There is growing evidence that these osteal macrop...

Effect of type 2 diabetes mellitus on the microstructural, compositional and mechanical properties of cartilages
CONCLUSIONS: This study deepens our understanding of how T2DM might facilitate OA in cartilages, which could contribute to the development of more scientific diagnosis and therapies for patients with diabetes.PMID:38492655 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2024.152259 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)

A morphological study of the inferior phrenic arteries on multidetector computed tomography and angiography
CONCLUSION: The inferior phrenic artery has a very variable anatomy. The most common origins of the inferior phrenic artery are the coeliac trunk and its branches, the abdominal aorta, and the renal arteries.PMID:38490465 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2024.152258 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)

Historical trends and current experiences of anatomical body donation in two Zimbabwean medical schools
CONCLUSIONS: Contrary to best practice, there is continued reliance on the use of unclaimed bodies to support anatomy education in the two Zimbabwean medical schools. Improving the ethical sourcing of bodies requires increased efforts to educate all Zimbabweans, especially the black majority, about the role and importance of voluntary body donation in medical education. Additionally, well-structured, and well-resourced body donation programs could enhance ethical procurement.PMID:38460856 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2024.152243 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)

First standardized assessment of perforators and perforasomes of the occipital artery - An anatomical study
CONCLUSION: This study is the first comprehensive overview of perforators and associated perforasomes of the occipital artery on a respectable amount of specimen. The arterial supply of big portions of the occipital and nuchal area is provided solely by the perforators of the occipital artery. For flap surgery, perforator diameter is a crucial detail to be considered in the decision-making process.PMID:38460857 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2024.152241 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)

Growing stylohyoideus muscle insertion to the hyoid bone with special reference to its topographical relation to the intermediate tendon of digastricus muscle: a histological study using human fetuses
CONCLUSION: The stylohyoideus muscle insertion was appeared to move from the tendon sheath to the hyoid greater horn and, until near-term, return to the tendon sheath. A fascia connecting the tendon sheath to the body of hyoid was strengthened by the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles. The latter muscles seemed to regulate fixation/relaxation of the intermediate tendon to the hyoid. The stylohyoideus muscle slips sandwiching the intermediate tendon might be a rare morphology.PMID:38460858 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2024.152246 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)

Exploring the sex-associated differences in molars fused roots
CONCLUSIONS: Molar fused root of permanent teeth presents sex-associated differences, in which females are more affected than males. Our results support sex-differential liability models for molars fused roots.PMID:38460859 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2024.152245 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)

Postmortem sympathomimetic iris excitability
CONCLUSION: Although relatively rarely used, sympathomimetic drugs seem to be eligible for chemical postmortem iris excitability. Currently, assessment of postmortem iris excitability usually only involves parasympatholytic and parasympathomimetic agents. The findings of the present study give a hint that the application of a third agent with a sympathomimetic mechanism of action could provide additional information. Further studies assessing such a triple approach in the compound method in comparison with the current gold standard for estimation of time since death are mandatory to ensure reliable results.PMID:38460860 | ...
