Aim: To examine the anatomy of the petrosphenoidal ligament (PSL), and its relationship with the abducens nerve (AN) in newborn cadavers.

Material And Methods: Using 10 formalin-fixed newborn cadavers, 20 PSLs and ANs on both sides were examined. The structure of each PSL, its morphometric features, and its relationship with the AN were evaluated.

Article Synopsis
  • The coxal bone is essential for movement, stability, and childbirth, yet there has been little research on its geometric properties, particularly the golden ratio.
  • This study measured 95 adult dry coxal bones using 18 morphometric parameters, identifying consistent ratios between various anatomical lengths of the bone.
  • The findings suggest that these constant ratios could aid surgeons in making more accurate measurements during surgical procedures related to the coxal bone, potentially reducing complications.

As the use of plastic-containing materials in our daily lives becomes increasingly common, exposure to nanoplastics accordingly becomes inevitable. Micro and nanoplastics released from large amounts of plastic waste constitute a serious environmental problem. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effects of polystyrene nanoplastic (PS-NP) on the hippocampus.
