28th Annual Research Appreciation Day Abstract Book
(3/26/2021)Abstracts, award winners, and sponsor information for the twenty-eighth annual Research Appreciation Day. RAD 2021 was the first all-virtual RAD due to ongoing restrictions related to COVID 19. Participants submitted an ... -
Craniofacial Bone Mineral Density During Growth in Mice with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI)
(2021)Purpose: Osteogenesis imperfecta(OI) is a genetic connective tissue defect resulting in fragile bones due to mutations affecting formation of type I collagen. Low bone mineral density (BMD) in the post-cranial skeleton has ... -
Harder foods make hardier heads among post-weaning rats
(2021)Purpose: The impact that material properties of foods have on the mammalian skull has been studied extensively. However, research that compares cranial morphologies in response to dietary shifts during growth is limited. ... -
Bilateral Enlarged Testes: A Case Report
(2021)Background: The major components of the male reproductive system consist of the penis, scrotum, testes, and the epididymis. The testicles begin in the abdominal cavity in the fetus and descend through the processus vaginalis ... -
A Cadaveric Investigation of the Long Thoracic Nerve
(2021)Introduction: Entrapment of the long thoracic nerve (LTN) is associated with pain in the thorax and back. Entrapment can occur at many places along the pathway of the LTN, including the cervical spine and the scalene ... -
Bilateral Absent Fibular (Peroneal) Arteries
(2021)Background: The most common branching pattern in the lower extremity is the popliteal artery branching into the anterior tibial artery and tibiofibular trunk. The documentation of aplastic fibular artery is quite rare in ... -
The Influence of Ecogeographic Variation in Human Nasal Morphology on Thermal Conditioning of Inspired Air
(2021)Most air conditioning of inspired air occurs in the nasal passages and is largely dependent on external environments. Studies show strong associations between climate and ecogeographic patterning of human nasal morphology. ... -
Massage application to increase spread of local anesthesia in sciatic nerve blocks: a cadaveric study
(2021)Introduction: Sciatic nerve blockades are essential for treatment of a variety of lower limb pathologies. Due to the complexity and variation of anatomical landmarks, ultrasound (US) is used to guide injection of local ... -
Anterior Interosseous Syndrome: A Case Study in a Seventy-one-Year-Old Women with Multiple Nerve compressions
(2021)Background: Anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) syndrome is rare and accounts for less than 1% of all upper extremity neuropathies. AIN syndrome can be due to trauma, compression of the nerve, or neuritis.Case Information: ... -
Anatomic relationships in a set of thoracopagus twins
(2021)Background: Conjoined twins occur from aberrant embryogenesis, at an estimated incidence of 1 in 200,000 births, with many being stillborn. There are many subtypes of conjoined twins, with their classifications based on ... -
Sexual Dimorphism Within Dental Microstructure
(2021)Purpose: A general pattern of sexual dimorphism is displayed across humans. Many males generally have a larger body than females. This dynamic has also been demonstrated within the oral cavity. For example, on average, ... -
Variation of prevertebral musculature in cadaveric studies
(2021)Background: This case report documents muscular variation observed in a detailed dissection of the prevertebral region of multiple cadavers. The prevertebral region contains the muscles lying between the prevertebral layer ... -
Anatomical Mapping of the Posterior Interosseous Nerve and Artery
(2021)Purpose: To determine variation of where the posterior interosseous artery (PIA) and nerve (PIN) converge in the distal, posterior aspect of the forearm. Methods: At the UNTHSC anatomy lab, 10 cadavers (five men and five ... -
Intermuscular Lipoma: A Case Report
(2021)Background: Lipomas are the most common type of soft-tissue tumors. Superficial lipomas account for about 50% of all soft-tissue tumors and are usually found in the upper back, neck, proximal extremities, and abdomen. ... -
Plantaris Tendon Insertion Variant
(2021)Background: The plantaris muscle is thought to be a vestigial muscle and its tendon lies between the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. It is most common for the plantaris tendon to insert onto the medial calcaneal tuberosity ... -
Nasal morphology and health disparities in asthma: A study assessing semi-automated tools for processing computed tomography scans in 3D morphometric research
(2021)Purpose: As the nasal complex is predominantly responsible for respiratory heat and moisture exchange, it has been suggested that abnormal nasal anatomy may predisposes certain individuals to asthma. Recent research into ... -
Muscular Asymmetries in Anatomical Donors with Lower-Limb Amputations
(2021)Purpose: Muscle atrophy from amputation has been associated with increased gait asymmetry, fall risk, and overuse injuries. This study investigated between-limb muscular differences in donors with lower-limb amputations ... -
Tibialis Anterior and The Bridle Procedure
(2021)Background: The Bridle procedure is a surgical intervention for the treatment of foot drop due to common fibular nerve damage. It involves the transfer of the tibialis posterior tendon through the interosseus membrane and ... -
The Risk Factors and Causes Associated with Ectopic Pregnancies
(2021)An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg implants in an improper location. Fertilization normally occurs in the uterine tube. Following zygote formation, the fertilized egg then travels to the superior part of ... -
External Fixation vs Plaster Splintage in Maintaining Reduction of PER Stage 3 Ankle Fracture Dislocations; A Cadaveric Study
(2021)Purpose: Unstable bimalleolar ankle fractures are a common injury. Typical initial treatment involves closed reduction with splinting. Occasionally the ankle is so unstable that external fixation is used to provide increased ...
