Anatomic description of the distal great saphenous vein to facilitate peripheral venous access during resuscitation: a cadaveric study.

The distal great saphenous vein is a popular site for venous access by means of percutaneous cannulation or venous cutdown in a hemodynamically unstable patient. The aim of this study was to precisely define the surface anatomy and dimensions of the distal part of the great saphenous vein to facilitate the aforementioned procedures. Cross-sectional anatomy of the distal saphenous vein was studied in 24 cadaveric ankles sectioned at a horizontal plane across the most prominent points of the medial and lateral malleoli.

Classification and Morphological Variation of the Frontalis Muscle and Implications on the Clinical Practice.

Forehead aesthetics have a major contribution to the youthful appearance of the face. Restoration of the upper facial aesthetics is important to counteract the changes related to the ageing process. The interaction between the frontalis and its antagonists' muscles contributes to the overall aesthetic balance of the forehead.

Morphology of ejaculatory ducts: A systematic review.

The morphology of human ejaculatory ducts has not been well established. The objective of this study was to describe macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of ejaculatory ducts. We conducted a systematic review using MEDLINE, Scopus, PubMed, and Cochrane databases.

Improving balance with wobble board exercises in stroke patients: single-blind, randomized clinical trial.

: A primary objective in stroke rehabilitation is to restore functional balance, in order to reduce falls.: To identify the efficacy and safety of wobble board exercises when combined with conventional physiotherapy, in improving balance in hemiplegic patients following ischemic strokes.: A block-randomized, controlled, observer blinded, superiority trial was conducted on ambulatory hemiplegic patients following ischemic strokes of middle cerebral artery territory.

Pigmented border as a new surface landmark for digital nerve blocks: a cross sectional anatomical study.

The purpose of this study was to identify surface anatomy of digital nerves in relation to the pigmented border of digits. Three-hundred and sixty digital nerves in 36 preserved adult cadaveric hands were dissected under magnification. The digital nerves were constantly located anterior to the pigmented border.

Preserving the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve during submandibular region surgery: a cadaveric safety study.

Background: The marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve is vulnerable to iatrogenic injuries during surgeries involving the submandibular region. This leads to significant post-operative morbidity. Studies assessing accurate anatomical landmarks of the marginal mandibular branch are sparse in South Asian countries.

An improved technical trick for identification of the thoracodorsal nerve during axillary clearance surgery: a cadaveric dissection study.

Background: Accurate anatomical landmarks to locate the thoracodorsal nerve are important in axillary clearance surgery.

Methods: Twenty axillary dissections were carried out on ten preserved Sri Lankan cadavers. Cadavers were positioned dorsal decubitus with upper limbs abducted to 90.

Anatomical landmarks for safer carpal tunnel decompression: an experimental cadaveric study.

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common presentation to surgical outpatient clinics. Treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome involves surgical division of the flexor retinaculum. Palmar and recurrent branches of the median nerve as well as the superficial palmar arch are at risk of damage.

Anatomical relations of the superficial sensory branches of the radial nerve: a cadaveric study with clinical implications.

Background: Anatomically, it is difficult to give a systematic description of the superficial branch of the radial nerve (SBRN). Our aim was to describe the exact relationship of the SBRN to fixed bony points of radial styloid and Lister's tubercle, and to the cephalic vein. We also compared our data with other international studies.
