Aperture in coronoid-olecranon septum: A radiological evaluation.

Background: The humerus bone with coronoid-olecranon septal aperture have very narrow medullary canal and extreme anterolateral bowing proximally and/or extreme anterolateral compressed surface at distal part. Septal perforation might make nailing through a retrograde technique more difficult or possibly with an increased risk of iatrogenic fracture at the site of insertion. Coronoid-olecranon perforation might be very important in preoperative planning for successful nailing.

The prevalence of supracondyloid process in the living: a radiographic study.

Objective: The spur or the supracondyloid process of the humerus has been of special interest to anatomists, anthropologists and clinicians. Apart from the anthropological research by ancient authors and clinical studies carried out half a century ago, no study of this variation appear in the literature. The aim of the present work is to investigate this variation in the living subjects.

A morphometric study on dog cerebellum.

In healthy humans and patient with schizophrenia, studies investigating cerebellar asymmetries have been performed by using magnetic resonance images (MRIs), which have failed to demonstrate the presence of the left-right asymmetry. Due to the paucity of animal studies in this field, the present study was undertaken to investigate whether the dog cerebellum shows any pattern of volumetric asymmetry. A total of 16 adult mongrel dogs, 8 male and 8 female, were assessed with respect to pawedness.

Total neuron numbers in CA1-4 sectors of the dog hippocampus.

Background & Objectives: Early reports addressed morphological asymmetry in the cross-sectional width of the rat hippocampus. The present study was aimed at counting total number of neurons in CA1-4 sectors and the subiculum of the dog hippocampus as well as investigating possible left /right and male/female asymmetry.

Methods: Adult mongrel dogs (8 female and 5 male) were assessed by the right and left pawedness and sacrificed by exsanguinations.

The effect of mobile phone on the number of Purkinje cells: a stereological study.

Purpose: The World Health Organisation proposed an investigation concerning the exposure of animals to radiofrequency fields because of the possible risk factor for health. At power frequencies there is evidence to associate both childhood leukaemia and brain tumours with magnetic field exposures. There is also evidence of the effect of mobile phone exposure on both cognitive functions and the cerebellum.
