Examining the Influence of Gender, Age, and Dominance on the Caliber of Normal Coronary Arteries in the South Indian Population.

Background The diameter of coronary arteries serves as a potential predictor of coronary artery diseases (CADs) that can lead to sudden death. Factors such as gender, age, and coronary artery dominance play a role in influencing the size of normal coronary arteries. The outcome of coronary interventions, to a certain extent, depends on luminal size.

Anatomical variations of the hepatic artery in it's extra hepatic journey: a cadaveric study with its clinical implications.

Vascular anomalies are a serendipitous finding during surgeries and diagnostic angiography. Such variations are frequently encountered in the abdominal region. These anomalies are usually asymptomatic but the presence of hepatic arterial variations may lead to injuries of the liver during surgery.

Prevalence and Relevance of Multiple Renal Arteries: A Radioanatomical Perspective.

Background: A single renal artery supplies the kidney in 70% of the population but variation exists in the remaining 30%. Multiple renal arteries (MRA) in different permutations and combinations are one of the many forms of variants. Lack of awareness of multiplicity could have detrimental effects on the outcome of renal surgery.

A Study of the Supratrochlear Foramen of the Humerus: Anatomical and Clinical Perspective.

Introduction: The Supratrochlear Foramen (STF) is a variably shaped perforation present in the bony septum that separates the olecranon and coronoid fossae at the distal end of the humerus, between the two epicondyles. Its incidence varies widely from 0.3% to 58% in different races.

Versatile but temperamental: a morphological study of palmaris longus in the cadaver.

Introduction: Palmaris longus (PL) is one of the most variable muscles in our body and is vestigial functionally. Its long tendon and its superficial location make it an ideal source for tendon harvesting. Variations such as absence, duplication and reversal have far reaching clinical impact.
