Iatrogenic nerve injury during surgery is a major source of concern for both patients and surgeons. This study aimed to identify the nerves most commonly injured during surgery, along with the commonly associated operative procedures. A literature search was conducted using the PubMed database to identify nerves commonly injured during surgery, along with the surgical procedure associated with the injury.

It occurs in 1 in 2000 newborn girls and is also believed to be present in a larger proportion of conceptuses. There are various anatomic anomalies that have been associated with TS and the consequences of late recognition of these anomalies can be devastating.

- - Trisomy 12 is a rare genetic condition resulting from the duplication of chromosome 12, which can lead to various symptoms and is more frequently observed due to mosaicism, appearing in about 1 in 500 live births.
- - Mosaicism allows for the presence of trisomy 12 to manifest in live births, even though it often results in spontaneous abortion during pregnancy.
- - Different types of trisomy 12, including partial and complete duplications, lead to a wide range of physical defects and phenotypes, indicating a need for further research to fully understand the associated anatomical variations.
Article Synopsis
- Trisomy 18 is a chromosomal condition with serious multi-systemic defects, leading to a low survival rate—50% survive past one week and less than 10% beyond one year.
- The introduction of aggressive treatments has prompted a need to review the anatomy linked to these defects, since the condition often affects the craniofacial, musculoskeletal, cardiac, abdominal, and nervous systems.
- Key physical characteristics of trisomy 18 include low-set ears, rocker bottom feet, clenched fists, and important cardiac issues like ventricular septal defects, with surgical repairs showing potential for improved survival.
Background: Despite research in the anatomical sciences for the last 200 years, some structures of the human body remain controversial or incompletely described. One of these structures is the A1 segment of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA).
Objective: To analyze the A1 segment of the ACA using novel stereoscopic methods because the 3-dimensional morphometry of the ACA is important to neurosurgeons.

With an increase in the understanding of the formation and treatment of cerebral aneurysms and an improvement in imaging technology, actual standardized measurement values for the cerebral arteries are necessary. Therefore, the aim of this study was to provide a detailed assessment of the three-dimension (3D) morphology (vessel's curvature and trajectory) and 3D-morphometry of the M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery using computer tomography angiography (CTA) images. The DICOM files from CTA of 40 male and 75 female individuals with a mean age of 50.

The aim of this study was to demonstrate similarities and differences among American, Asian, and European medical students (MS) regarding different study methods and to see how these methods affected their clinical skills.
Methods: To analyze the varying study methods of European, American, and Asian MS in our program and in order to elucidate any ethnic and cultural differences a survey was conducted.
