InSafeLock humeral nail provides a safe application for proximal and distal locking screws with distal endopin - An anatomical study.

Introduction: Efforts to prevent iatrogenic neurovascular injuries with humeral intramedullary nailing lead to design new implants and inside to out distal locking technique using an endopin aims to provide a safer screw application. InSafeLock (TST, Istanbul, Turkey) humeral nail have been recently developed to minimize the possible screw related complications. The anatomical relationship between locking screws and neurovascular structures with the application time were compared between Trigen Humeral Nail (Smith and Nephew, Memphis, USA) and InSafeLock Humeral Nail.

Morphometrical aspect on angular branch of facial artery.

Anatomic variability and anastomosis of the angular artery of the facial artery with the other arteries are important for both anatomists and surgeons. In particular, the angular artery is a significant landmark in dacryocystorhinostomy. Because of variations on anatomy of the angular artery, there are limited numbers of anatomic studies on the flaps of facial region.

Relation of discoid lateral meniscus and cord-like anterior intermeniscal ligament: morphological and clinical study.

Discoid lateral meniscus is a rare disorder and its association with other variations in the knee joint has been reported. The anterior intermeniscal ligament has also been described as connecting the anterior convex margin of the lateral meniscus to the anterior horn of the medial meniscus. In the normal population, it was observed at 53-94%.

Histamine induces the neuronal hypertrophy and increases the mast cell density in gastrointestinal tract.

Histamine is an endogenous biogenic amine that is synthesized from the basic amino acid histidine. Ability to mimic anaphylaxis is one of the first described functions of histamine and it has been demonstrated that histamine plays a significant role in the regulation of immune system and neuronal function, influences neuronal morphology and is involved in mast cells (MCs) chemotaxis. MCs as histamine releasers, may thus also interact with neuronal function.
