Comparative study of the peroneus tertius muscle in pigs based on the origin, course, insertion and innervation
CONCLUSIONS: The innervations suggest that the PT and extensor digitorum longus muscles of the pig were derived from the same muscle mass during development but were named separately due to differences in their morphology. Furthermore, morphological features suggest that pig PT and human PT are probably different muscles.PMID:38299444 | DOI:10.5603/fm.98348 (Source: Folia Morphologica)

Quantitative study of the popliteal fossa in the human fetus
Folia Morphol (Warsz). 2024 Jan 23. doi: 10.5603/fm.98232. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe popliteal fossa presents an extensive diamond-shaped topographical element on the posterior aspect of the knee. With the use of classical anatomical dissection, digital image analysis of NIS Elements AR 3.0 and statistics we morphometrically analyzed the size of the popliteal fossa in human fetuses aged 17-29 weeks of gestation. Morphometric parameters of the popliteal fossa increased logarithmically with fetal age: y = -44.421 + 24.301 × ln (Age) for length of superomedial boundary, y = -41.379 + 22.777 × ln (Age) for length of ...

The prevalence of the anconeus epitrochlearis muscle in a Central European population
CONCLUSIONS: The true prevalence of AE was 4.3% (95% CI = 0.2%-8.4%), consistent with recent studies. Historical reports indicate varying true prevalence up to 26%, possibly linked to manual labor changes. Contrary to prior assumptions, our study did not find a significantly higher true prevalence in the European population. AE's association with cubital tunnel syndrome is complex, with both protective and potentially compressive roles.PMID:38258614 | DOI:10.5603/fm.98231 (Source: Folia Morphologica)

Resveratrol showed anti-inflammatory effects on hippocampus via suppressing NF κB
CONCLUSIONS: Resveratrol treatment alleviated pathologies and downregulated NFκB expression in hippocampus. TBI caused adverse alterations in free radicals' balance system and histological structures of hippocampus. Resveratrol with its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects reduced the damage caused by TBI.PMID:38189498 | DOI:10.5603/fm.97799 (Source: Folia Morphologica)

Selected structures of middle ear relevant to cochlear implantation on the basis of computer tomography
CONCLUSIONS: Evaluating middle ear anatomy on a computed tomography scan is useful for preparing for middle ear surgery but does not significantly affect the ability to access the round window. For such access, the position of the window in relation to the facial nerve is the most relevant factor, and measurements based on this relationship hold the highest clinical value.PMID:38152919 | DOI:10.5603/fm.97820 (Source: Folia Morphologica)

Arc of Riolan revisited-proposal of a new classification system
CONCLUSIONS: SMA and IMA anastomoses form an arterial network that is characterized by high variability and trail in surgically strategic areas. For this reason, simplifying the terminology and using unambiguous names of these vessels based on their trail and anatomical relationship with IMV are crucial for the proper planning and execution of surgical procedures performed on the colon.PMID:38152920 | DOI:10.5603/fm.98013 (Source: Folia Morphologica)

Challenges associated with vascular access through the common carotid artery during embalming procedures in humans: A technical note
CONCLUSIONS: Proper execution of minimally invasive access to the common carotid artery minimizes tissue damage and ensures a high success rate of the procedure. Knowledge of the types of vascular access is essential for preparing the highest quality specimens.PMID:38152921 | DOI:10.5603/fm.95539 (Source: Folia Morphologica)

Superior mesenteric artery clinical classification and morphometrical analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The proposed clinical classification of SMA links anatomic variations in morphology with their clinical significance. A simple, three-level classification can be easily applied in daily practice and serve as a great support for preoperative evaluation and recognition of patients at risk of iatrogenic or thromboembolic complications.PMID:38152922 | DOI:10.5603/fm.98167 (Source: Folia Morphologica)
