Objective: This study aimed to explore the relationship between skeletal patterns and the frequency of sella turcica bridging in a sample of young Turkish adults in order to provide a better understanding of the relationship between craniofacial morphology and sella turcica abnormalities.

Methods: A total of 90 individuals aged between 18 and 25 years were examined in this study. The individuals were classified according to their skeletal pattern, specifically Class I, Class II, and Class III.

Our study aimed to evaluate the hip joints of healthy children aged 2-13 years morphometrically through radiographic images. Demographic characteristics of 300 healthy children in our study include an average age of 6.4 years old based on the 2-to-13-year-old bracket and sex classified to 133 girls and 167 boys.

Accurate knowledge of surface anatomy is essential for physical examination, invasive procedures, and anatomy education. Individual factors such as age make surface landmarks variable so accurate descriptions are needed. The aim of this study is to describe age-related surface landmarks for intrathoracic structures in children.

Surface anatomy is fundamental to clinical and surgical practices. As the surface anatomy varies with age, the purpose of this study is to provide age-standardized surface markings for the abdomen in children. A total of 155 abdominal computed tomography scans of healthy children aged 0-18 years were categorized into six groups, and the surface anatomy of the major vascular structures, solid viscera, and anatomical planes in the abdomen was analyzed.

Background: Generalized joint laxity is often associated with gait deviations. The aim of this study was to investigate the static and dynamic loading pattern of the foot with increasing joint mobility and to discuss the potential impact of this condition on the plantar loading patterns.

Methods: Seventy female participants between ages of 18 and 30 were included in this cross-sectional survey.

Article Synopsis
  • Thalassemia major is a common genetic disorder that affects hemoglobin production and can lead to noticeable craniofacial abnormalities.
  • The study involved comparing craniofacial measurements between 43 thalassemia patients and 26 healthy controls, assessing various regions of the face.
  • Results showed significant differences in craniofacial features like the face, nose, and ears, but not in the head and eye regions, enhancing knowledge of craniofacial anatomy in these patients.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the link between joint laxity (hyper/hypo mobility) and postural balance using a specialized device called Tetrax®.
  • A total of 69 healthy individuals were categorized into non-hypermobile, mildly hypermobile, and severely hypermobile groups based on their Beighton-Horan hypermobility scores, and their balance was tested across various positions.
  • Results indicated that those with severe hypermobility displayed increased instability in specific head positions, potentially heightening their risk of injuries during sports that involve such movements.

Background/aim: To measure the torsion angle of the humerus using images obtained via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in healthy volunteers and to evaluate outcomes with respect to sex and age groups.

Materials And Methods: The study consisted of 36 healthy adults (18 males and 18 females aged between 20 and 68 years). The humeral torsion angle (HTA) was calculated using axial MRI images.

Objective: Blood transfusion therapy for Thalassaemia patients may cause transmission of some infectious agents to the recipients. As Toxoplasma gondii is a transfusion-transmitted parasite, we aimed to investigate anti-Toxoplasma antibodies.

Methods: We arranged two groups: patients and controls.
