Article Synopsis
- The meta-analysis focused on the morphometric properties of the lumbar vertebrae to provide current and evidence-based data.
- A total of 1481 patients were analyzed, revealing that the spinal canal width and transverse processes increase towards the lower lumbar vertebrae, while the height of pedicles decreases from L1 to L4 and then increases at L5.
- The findings aim to aid physicians and surgeons by offering normative anatomical data that can improve surgical outcomes in procedures involving the lumbar spine.
: The objective of this study was to present a rare case of non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lacrimal sac (LS). Neoplasms of the lacrimal drainage system are extremely rare. These lesions are predominantly malignant and are associated with a high mortality rate.

Article Synopsis
- The meta-analysis focused on anatomical variations of the mandibular lingula (ML) to improve the success of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) anesthesia and minimize risks in oral surgeries.
- A comprehensive search across major medical databases included 4694 subjects, revealing that the average height of the ML is 8.17 mm, with triangular and nodular shapes being the most prevalent.
- The findings are essential for clinicians as they aid in identifying the correct injection sites for effective anesthesia and planning surgical procedures while avoiding potential nerve damage.
Drug-abuse detection tests are becoming increasingly commonplace in patient care today and provide a rapid and effective method for identifying illicit substances. Occasionally, they may yield a positive result, indicating the presence of a substance, even though the individual has not consumed the suspected drug what sometimes can significantly impact both medical and legal decisions. The study outlines the substances that can lead to false-positive drug test results for amphetamines, cannabinoids, and benzodiazepines.

Methods: Major online databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched through.
The objective of the present meta-analysis was to evaluate recent and applicable data regarding the location and variation of the atrioventricular nodal artery (AVNA) in relation to adjacent structures. In order to minimize postoperative risks and maintain physiological anastomosis for proper cardiac function, understanding such possible variations of vascularization of the AV node is of immense importance prior to cardiothoracic surgery as well as ablations. In order to perform this meta-analysis, a systematic search was conducted in which all articles regarding, or at least mentioning, the anatomy of the AVNA was searched.
