Exploring the variations of the pancreatic ductal system: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.

The exocrine part of the pancreas has a duct system called the pancreatic ductal system (PDS). Its mechanism of development is complex, and any reorganization during early embryogenesis can give rise to anatomical variants. The aim of this study is to collect, classify, and analyze published evidence on the importance of anatomical variants of the PDS, addressing gaps in our understanding of such variations.

Reappraisal of the anatomical diversities of the pyramidalis muscle with their potential clinical applicability: cadaveric analysis.

Introduction: The present study examined the morphology and morphometric parameters of the pyramidalis muscle (PM) in detail with their potential applicability in making midline infra-umbilical incisions and biomechanics of the linea alba.

Methods: PM was examined in 51 formalin-fixed cadavers (36 males and 15 females), and based on the mode of insertion or the level of apex, the formation or shape of the muscle was classified into nine types (Mori's classification).

Results: Bilateral PM was more prevalent (39.

A Closer Look at Anatomy Educator Safety: Identifying and Preventing Workplace Hazards: A narrative review.

Anatomy, one of medicine's vital subjects, demands extreme visualization to understand the intricate architecture of the human body. Although various other methods of virtual dissections are in place, an increasing number of anatomists, clinicians, and surgeons are advocating for re-enhancing anatomical education through traditional cadaveric dissection. These traditional pedagogies potentially expose anatomy educators to various risks in the dissection laboratory, which endangers their health and well-being.

Visualization in Anatomy Education.

In the post-pandemic era, one of the significant challenges for anatomy teachers is to reciprocate the experience of practical exposure while teaching the subject to undergraduates. These challenges span from conducting cadaveric dissections to handling real human bones, museum specimens, and tissue sections in the histology lab. Such exposures help the instructors to develop interactive communication with their fellow students and thus help to enhance communication skills among them.

Advances in Microscopy and Its Applications with Special Reference to Fluorescence Microscope: An Overview.

The microscope has revolutionized the understanding of an organism's structural details and cellular functions. With the invention of highly evolved microscopes, the diagnosis and treatment of diseases has gained momentum. Technology has immensely helped demonstrate cellular events like phagocytosis, cell movement, cell division, etc.

Study of pattern & distribution of adverse drug reactions in acute coronary syndrome patients in a tertiary care hospital.

Background & Objectives: With the availability of a wide range of drugs to treat patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), adverse drug reactions (ADRs) have become inevitable in clinical practice. Thorough knowledge of such reactions is essential for the treating physician for optimal treatment and better outcomes. There are many scales to define, measure and assess the ADRs, but there is a dearth of data available on such drug reactions among ACS patients.

Synthesis, growth and characterization of a new promising organic nonlinear optical crystal: 4-Nitrophenyl hydrazone.

4-Nitrophenyl hydrazone single crystals were grown by slow evaporation of solvent method using acetone as a solvent. The grown crystals were subjected to various characterizations such as X-ray diffraction studies, UV-visible studies, thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA) and second harmonic generation (SHG). The cell parameters were calculated by using single crystal XRD measurement and the crystal system was found as orthorhombic with non-centro-symmetric space group Pca21.
