Dermatoglyphic features in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Objective: To examine dermatoglyphic features to clarify implicated genetic predisposition in the etiology of multiple sclerosis (MS).

Methods: The study was conducted between January and December 2013 in the Departments of Anatomy, and Neurology, Cumhuriyet University School of Medicine, Sivas, Turkey. The dermatoglyphic data of 61 patients, and a control group consisting of 62 healthy adults obtained with a digital scanner were transferred to a computer environment.

Geometric analysis of medio-lateral position of patella: a new measuring tool.

Background: Evaluation of medio-lateral position of patella is necessary for diagnosis and treatment of patellofemoral diseases.

Objective: In the present study, we aimed to evaluate medio-lateral patellar position differences and to define a new practical measuring tool which enables us to analyze relationships of the points at the knee.

Materials And Methods: Total of 120 healthy volunteers (60 men and 60 women) were included in our study and both of their knees were measured.

Frontal lobe morphometry with MRI in a normal age group of 6-17 year-olds.

Background: Morphometric data of the frontal lobe are important for surgical planning of lesions in the frontal lobe and its surroundings. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques provide suitable data for this purpose.

Objectives: In our study, the morphometric data of mid-sagittal MRI of the frontal lobe in certain age and gender groups of children have been presented.

Magnetic resonance imaging of the clivus and its age-related changes in the bone marrow.

Background: The clivus is a bone region between dorsum cella and foramen magnum. It can be evaluated very clearly in routine brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) dueto its central location.

Objectives: Quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the clivus and its changes according to age in a group of healthy people.

Magnetic resonance imaging mesencephalic tectum dimensions according to age and gender.

Objective: To analyze and classify normal MRI tectum length and colliculus dimensions according to age and gender.

Methods: Tectum length and colliculus diameters were measured on the T1 midsagittal and axial cranial MR images in the radiology archive of 532 (344 women, 188 men) patients aged 37.36+/-21.

Diploe thickness and cranial dimensions in males and females in mid-Anatolian population: an MRI study.

Background: The objective of this study is the classification of the thickness of diploe and dimensions of cranium at different points of cranium in men and women according to age groups.

Material And Method: In the radiology archive, measurements were made at different points in magnetic resonance (MR) images of 305 (188 females and 117 males) patients, the average ages of whom were 40.98±20.

A rare variation of the right middle suprarenal artery.

According to general knowledge, the suprarenal gland is supplied by three sources: the phrenic artery, the abdominal aorta and the renal artery. Since the gland lacks a hilus, and particularly because of its clinical importance, anatomical arterial sources and branching is still not uniform and it needs to be determined by detail. In this study, the right middle suprarenal artery arising from the right renal artery was observed on the right side of a 45-year-old male cadaver.
