Pattern of variations in superficial palmar arch in 134 Negro cadaveric hands.
Ital J Anat Embryol

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the anatomical variations of the superficial palmar arch in a sample of the Negro population using 134 dissected upper limbs.
- About 73.9% of the specimens showed a complete superficial arch, with a significant percentage (70.1%) having communication between the ulnar and radial arteries.
- The findings highlight common deviations from the normal anatomical patterns, suggesting that surgeons should review vascular structures carefully before performing invasive procedures to account for potential anomalies.
Bromelain, an enzyme extracted from the stem of the pineapple plant, has been reported to reduce pain and swelling in acute soft tissue injuries, but no study has been done to compare its effect with that of fresh pineapple juice on the healing of acute tendon injuries. This study compared the effects of commercial bromelain and fresh pineapple juice on tenocyte proliferation and the malondialdehyde (MDA) level in the early stage of healing in a crush injury to the Achilles tendon of Sprague-Dawley rats. Twenty-four male rats were divided randomly into three groups of eight rats each; all the rats had induced crush injury to the Achilles tendon: Group 1 (control), no treatment; Group 2, oral bromelain treatment at a dosage of 7 mg/kg of body weight daily; and Group 3, fresh diluted pineapple juice at a dosage of 30 mg/kg of body weight.

Methods: Cyclic female rats were randomly classified into 4 groups (A through D). Treated rats in group A had daily vaginal smears for a total of 64 consecutive days while being fed A precatorius extract for the first 32 of those days.
