Ethanolic extract of leaves alleviates aluminum-induced oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and neuroinflammation in rat brain.

Background And Aim: Aluminum (Al)-induced neurotoxicity is known to play a pivotal role in the development of various neurodegenerative diseases, and this is alleged to occur through neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in the brain. This study aimed to determine the effect of a (FR) leaf extract on oxidative stress and neuroinflammation induced by Al exposure in the rat brain by estimating malondialdehyde (MDA), interleukin-6 (IL6), and total antioxidant (TAO) levels along with the degree of neurodegeneration in the brain of AlCl-administered and F leaf extract-treated rats.

Materials And Methods: Two- to three-month-old male albino rats weighing 250-280 g were used in the present study.

Morphological study of styloid process of the temporal bone and its clinical implications.

The objective of this study was to study the morphometry of the styloid process of temporal bone and prevalence of elongated styloid process. The morphology of elongated styloid process along with its embryological and clinical importance are discussed. The present study included 110 human dry skulls which were procured from the bone collections of the department of anatomy.

Occipital condyle morphometry and incidence of condylus tertius: phylogenetic and clinical significance.

Purpose: The objectives were to study the morphometry of occipital condyles and to find the incidence of third occipital condyle in Indian skulls.

Materials And Methods: In the present study, 140 occipital condyles from 70 dry skulls were analysed. The length, width, height of occipital condyles, the anterior and posterior intercondylar distances was measured.

Unique distribution by the peroneal nerves: a case report.

Purpose: Among the branches of common peroneal nerve, the superficial peroneal provides cutaneous innervation to major part of the dorsum of the foot and deep peroneal nerve supplies the skin over the first interdigital cleft region.

Methods: The present rare case was observed during routine dissection of leg for undergraduate students, in a 52-year-old male, formalin fixed cadaver.

Results: The superficial peroneal nerve provided solely motor branches to peroneus longus and brevis, whereas cutaneous branches were provided by deep peroneal nerve.

Foramina on the zygomatic bone: its clinical significance.

Aim: To study the anatomy of zygomatico-orbital, zygomatico-facial and zygomatico temporal foramina in south Indian population.

Materials And Methods: 50 dry adult skulls of south Indian origin were studied. The number of ZO, ZF and ZT were recorded on each side.
