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 | ...

Anatomical considerations of the sural nerve in the distal leg: Side branch patterns and significance in nerve harvesting procedures
CONCLUSION: This study presents valuable data about the relationship between the sural nerve and the surrounding anatomical structures in the distal part of the leg, including the identification of its side branches and their relevance during nerve harvest procedures. On the basis of the most frequent locations of side branches, a three-incision-technique for nerve harvest is proposed.PMID:38458574 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2024.152242 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)

Netrin-1 As A Neural Guidance Protein In Development And Reinnervation Of The Larynx
Ann Anat. 2024 Mar 6:152247. doi: 10.1016/j.aanat.2024.152247. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeural guidance proteins participate in motor neuron migration, axonal projection, and muscle fiber innervation during development. One of the guidance proteins that participates in axonal pathfinding is Netrin-1. Despite the well-known role of Netrin-1 in embryogenesis of central nervous tissue, it is still unclear how the expression of this guidance protein contributes to primary innervation of the periphery, as well as reinnervation. This is especially true in the larynx where Netrin-1 is upregulated within the intrinsic larynge...

The structure and function of the human choroid
Ann Anat. 2024 Mar 2;254:152239. doi: 10.1016/j.aanat.2024.152239. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn this manuscript, the structure of the human choroid is reviewed with emphasis of the macro- and microscopic anatomy including Bruch's membrane, choriocapillaris, Sattler's and Haller's layer, and the suprachoroid. We here discuss the development of the choroid, as well as the question of choroidal lymphatics, and further the neuronal control of this tissue, as well as the pathologic angiogenesis. Wherever possible, functional aspects of the various structures are included and reviewed.PMID:38432349 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2024...

Challenges in Sourcing Bodies for Anatomy Education and Research in Ethiopia: Pre and Post COVID-19 Scenarios
CONCLUSION: The reliance on unclaimed human bodies for anatomy education and research in Ethiopian medical institutions mirrors a common practice across many African countries. The authors suggest the development of a legislative framework or operational guidelines, coupled with empowering the medical institutions to outsource their own funding that will ultimately lead to an increased number of bodies available for anatomical dissection. Over time, implementation and promotion of body donation programs may also resolve body shortages for anatomy education in Ethiopia.PMID:38423228 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2024.152234 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)

Evaluation of the (clinical) relevance of gross anatomical teaching for dental students and practicing oral surgeons in Berlin
This study examines dental students' perceptions of the relevance of the anatomy curriculum, with particular reference to clinical practice and the dissection course, in conjunction with the perceptions of surgically specialized dentists. The distinctions between the participating groups concerning their perceived relevance are being discussed particularly regarding their applicability to improve the anatomical education of dental students. The overall aim is to find and highlight aspects of the clinical use of anatomical knowledge towards students, which they are unable to apprehend yet. A questionnaire consisting of info...

Cochlear aqueduct revisited: A histological study using human fetuses
CONCLUSION: The CA develops from meningeal tissues when the cavitation of the scala begins. The latter cavitation seemed to reduce tissue stiffness leading, to meningeal protrusion. The so-called anlage of CA might be a phylogenetic remnant of the glossopharyngeal nerve branch. A course of cochlear veins appears to be determined by a rule different from the CA development.PMID:38417484 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2024.152236 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)
