- The impact of when, what and how predictions on auditory speech perceptionAbstract An impressive number of theoretical proposals and neurobiological studies argue that perceptual processing is not strictly feedforward but rather operates through an interplay between bottom-up sensory and top-down predictive mechanisms. The present EEG study aimed to further determine how prior knowledge on auditory syllables may impact speech perception. Prior knowledge was manipulated by presenting the participants
Clinical Anatomy
- The radioulnar distance at the level of the radial tuberosityIntroduction Ruptures of the distal biceps brachii tendon are generally treated operatively due to their loss of supination and flexion force. A mechanical impingement at the insertion of the tendon at the radial tuberosity is discussed to play a role in the etiology of this injury. The aim of this study was to present a detailed, three‐dimensional anatomical analysis of the radioulnar space at the radial tuberosity. Materials and Methods
- Three‐dimensional computed tomographic analysis of normal and aneurysmal aortic roots: is there a specific geometric pattern in the aortic root?Introduction Current knowledge on the geometric anatomy of the aortic root and its surgical implications remains limited. We analyzed the dimensions of multiple predefined parameters of the aortic root to improve our understanding of the geometric changes that occur in normal and aneurysmal transformations. Materials and Methods Between November 2003 and September 2015, 107 healthy subjects (control group) and 105 patients with annuloaorti
- UV‐C irradiation reduces the experimentally‐induced bacterial load on the surface of a human cadaver – an additional option for the preservation of cadavers in AnatomySafety is a major issue in the embalming procedures of human cadavers. Reduced application of formaldehyde is often recommended. The aim of this study was to investigate the potency of ultraviolet light (UV‐C irradiation) on the bacterial load on the surface of a conserved human cadaver. To test UV‐C irradiation, the cadaver was laid out in the dissection hall and, after preparation of the muscles, was covered with linen sheets moistened with wat
- Brunetti's chisels in anterior and posterior rachiotomyRachiotomy entails vertebral surgical incision, generally followed by exposure of the spinal cord, and is performed primarily for educational, research, or medico‐legal purposes. Over time, several tools have been developed for this procedure, but Lodovico Brunetti designed the first effective prototypes in the mid‐nineteenth century. To show the technical details of, and the necessary manoeuvres to be performed for Brunetti's rachiotomies to suc
- Anatomical basis and clinical application of the first metatarsal proximal perforator‐based neurocutaneous vascular flapIntroduction Forefoot defects caused by accidents are very common, but their reconstruction remains a substantial challenge for plastic surgeons. The purpose of this study is to determine the anatomical structure of the first metatarsal proximal perforator‐based flap and to propose its clinical application. Materials and Methods The study was divided into two parts: an anatomical study and a clinical application. Thirty preserved lower lim
- Pelvic incidence: computed tomography study evaluating correlation with sagittal sacropelvic parametersIntroduction Normal values for spinal alignment are often based on the Pelvic Incidence (PI), defined as the angle subtended by a line from the bicoxofemroal axis to the midpoint of the sacral endplate and a line perpendicular to the midpoint. Despite widespread use, determinants of its values remain obscure. The aim of this study was to determine correlation of sacropelvic parameters with the PI on computer tomography. Materials and Method
- Deplastination: Preservation of histological structures and its anticipated role in the field of histopathologyIntroduction Deplastination is the process of reversing plastination such that a plastinated specimen can be reverted to its raw nature. This would enable its use in the field of histopathology. The present study aims to ascertain if deplastinates can be used for histopathological studies after a time period. Materials & Methods Tissue samples were taken from patients undergoing maxillofacial surgeries for oral carcinomas after obtaining w
- Anatomical variations in distal portion of the thoracic duct – A systematic reviewThe objective of this study was to identify and analyze the anatomical variations in the termination of the thoracic duct (TD) in cadavers or patients by anatomical dissections and surgical or radiological procedures for better knowledge of the inter‐individual variations through a systematic review. The search strategy included PubMed and reference tracking. Studies were identified by searching the electronic Medline databases. The search terms
- Pancreas Divisum InversusPancreatic duct variations are usually diagnosed incidentally, in particular when using magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), the most accurate imaging modality for depicting the pancreatic ductal system. However, the frequency and the embryologic development of pancreatic variants have not been well investigated. The purpose of this prospective study was to investigate the frequency of pancreatic ductal variants, providing potentia
- Variations and morphometric features of the vermiform appendix: a systematic review and meta‐analysis of 114,080 subjects with clinical implicationsIntroduction Determining the true and indisputable data regarding the vermiform appendix (VA) morphology is of a great clinical interest. The aim of this study was to provide the best evidence‐based anatomical overview of the variations in location and size of VA using a systematic and meta‐analytical approach. Materials and Methods A systematic review with meta‐analysis was performed of studies reporting variants of the location and morph
- Nerve dysfunction leads to muscle morphological abnormalities in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy assessed by MRIIntroduction Neuropathic features of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) have been well documented, however very little is known about the implication of this neuropathy on skeletal muscle, and whether nerve lesions in CIDP lead to uniform disruptions in skeletal muscles. In this study, we assessed the triceps surae complex, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a group (n=10) of CIDP patients compared with a healthy age
- Whole Course of Pallidothalamic Tracts Identified on the Sectioned Images and Surface ModelsThe anatomy of the pallidothalamic tracts, including the ansa lenticularis, lenticular fasciculus, and thalamic fasciculus (field H1 of Forel), should be elucidated by neurosurgeons and neuroscientists who study deep brain stimulation. In this study, serially sectioned images of a human cadaver head were employed to overcome the limitations of existing methods to observe the pallidothalamic tracts. Owing to the high resolution and real color of t
- Clinical Anatomy of the Anterior and Posterior Hepatic Plexuses, Including Relations with the Pancreatic Plexus: A Cadaver StudyBackground The poor prognosis after surgery for pancreatic cancer or extrahepatic bile duct cancer has mainly been attributed to early lymph node metastasis, as well as a high frequency of perineural invasion along the peripancreatic neural plexuses or extrahepatic bile duct plexus. However, there has been no detailed morphological description of the anterior and posterior hepatic plexuses (AHP and PHP). In addition, the concepts of the pancreat
- Coexistence of dense and sparse areas in the longitudinal smooth muscle of the anal canal: anatomical and histological analyses inspired by magnetic resonance imagesINTRODUCTION Magnetic resonance images of the anal canal show small, circular, low‐intensity areas arranged in a row and a high‐intensity area surrounding them internally and externally in the longitudinal muscle layer that cannot be explained by current anatomical findings. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the detailed structure of the longitudinal smooth muscle of the anal canal and to interpret the magnetic resonance image of the lo
- Safe zone for lateral‐pin placement for external fixation of the distal humerusPurpose External fixation is a common, efficient technique used for humeral‐shaft stabilization and elbow fractures. There are reports of radial nerve injuries associated with this procedure. In this study, we investigated the course and variability of the radial nerve along the lateral humerus in relation to the elbow joint to determine a relatively safe zone for lateral‐pin placement in external fixation. Methods 20 upper extremities fro
