Absolute and Relative Morphometric Differences in the Craniofacial Skeleton of OIM-/- Mice and Wild-Type Littermates
(2019-03-05)Purpose: Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI, or “Brittle Bone Disease”) is a disorder caused by genetic point mutations in COL1A1/COL1A2 which affect the synthesis of type I collagen (Col1). Humans with the severe type III OI ... -
Virtual Dissection of Complex Masticatory Muscles with DiceCT
(2019-03-05)Purpose: Weaning is a critical stage in the life history of altricial mammals, with far-reaching impacts on growth trajectories and survival. Post-weaning diet(s) are known to affect craniofacial skeletal morphology as ... -
Variation in maxillary sinus anatomy: Implications of ostium positioning on health disparities in sinusitis
(2019-03-05)Purpose - Over 30 million people were diagnosed with sinusitis in 2017, yet potential anatomical etiologies behind sinus infections remain poorly understood. Previous research has suggested regional differences in maxillary ... -
Craniofacial Bone Mineral Density in Mice with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI)
(2019-03-05)Purpose: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the abnormal synthesis and assembly of type I collagen (Col1), a major organic component of bone. Clinical manifestations of the severe OI ... -
Shoulder Balance Outcomes After Spinal Fusion
(2019-03-05)Purpose: The purpose of our study is to assess short and long term effects of posterior spinal fusion on shoulder balance and determine the correlation between osseous and soft tissue radiographic parameters utilizing a ... -
Massive Intracranial Hemorrhage with Subsequent Subfalcine and Transtentorial Herniation: A Case Study
(2019-03-05)Background: Brain herniation is a progression of pathology due to increased intracranial pressure creating a mass effect. The mass effect created by a large intracranial hemorrhage on one side of the brain often leads to ... -
Novel Presentation of Hepatic and Foregut Vasculature: A Case Study
(2019-03-05)Background: In the most typical presentation, the foregut (abdominal esophagus, stomach, and first and second parts of the duodenum), pancreas, spleen, and liver are supplied by branches of the celiac trunk. The celiac ... -
Unilateral Variant Psoas Major with Split Femoral Nerve
(2019-03-05)Background: The psoas major muscle originates from the transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae 1-5 and inserts into the lesser trochanter of the femur. The femoral nerve arises from ventral rami of lumbar spinal nerves ... -
Pericardial Cyst: A Case Report
(2019-03-05)Abstract Background: Pericardial cysts are usually benign, congenital or idiopathic anomalies with an occurence of 1:100,000 and are commonly noted in the right (70%) or left (22%) cardiophrenic angle and are rarely found ... -
TCOM Anatomical Research: Left Extraacetablar Trochanteric Bursa Abscess
(2019-03-05)Abstract Background: The connections between diseases and their respective symptoms are unique, and often require the study of a multitude of factors. For a large abscess to persist, both the underlying disease and therapy ... -
An analysis of an aberrant circumflex artery originating from the right aortic sinus and its clinical implications.
(2019-03-05)During routine cadaver dissection, a coronary vessel abnormality was discovered in a 71-year old female cadaver. The circumflex artery (CxA), normally a branch from the left coronary artery (LCA), took its origin from the ... -
Two Cases of the Psoas Quartus Muscle Variant
(2019-03-05)Background: The psoas major muscle originates from the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, joins with the iliacus along the iliac crest, and attaches to the femur at the lesser trochanter. The iliopsoas muscle, formed from the ... -
Ladd’s Band Obstruction in 61 Year Old Physician
(2019-03-05)Ladd’s Band obstruction and congenital malrotation of the intestines is a rather uncommon anomaly with an incidence of 1 in 500 births and with symptomatic cases only appearing in 1 out of every 6000 births [1], [2]. ... -
Patellar Fracture Non-Union with Acquired Patella Baja: A Case Report
(2019-03-05)Fractures of the patella are usually caused by direct forces on the bone such as from a fall on a flexed knee or a dashboard injury and constitute 1% of all fractures 1,9. This injury occurs most commonly in males (2:1 ... -
Novel Investigation of the Deep Band of the Lateral Plantar Aponeurosis and Its Relationship with the Lateral Plantar Nerve
(2019-03-05)Purpose: The plantar foot is separated into medial, central and lateral compartments by the plantar aponeurosis (PA). The PA functions to support the arch of the foot and transmit forces during the gait cycle. A recent ... -
Bilateral variation of the suboccipital region musculature
(2019-03-05)Background: This case report documents bilateral anatomic muscular variation observed in a detailed dissection of the suboccipital region of an 81-year-old male cadaver. The suboccipital muscle group consists of four paired ... -
Acute Torsion of an Extralobar Sequestration: Case Report
(2019-03-05)Background Pulmonary sequestration is a congenital formation that involves the growth of non-functional lung tissue that is not perfused by the lung arterial blood supply. There are two types of pulmonary sequestrations, ... -
