Structural and functional significance of scrotal ligament: a comparative histological study.

Gubernaculum testes is the most important parameter in testicular migration. At the end of migration, it is described as scrotal ligament, which has implications in testicular torsion. The present study aims to examine the structure of scrotal ligament and compare it with gubernaculum.

Vascular foramina of talus: an anatomical study with reference to surgical dissection.

Purpose: To study the distribution and morphometry of vascular foramina of adult human talus in Indian population.

Methods: The study was carried out by using 56 adult human tali. The location, size, number and foraminal index of vascular foramina on head, neck and body of each bone were examined macroscopically.

Diverse characters of Brennan's paw incision model regarding certain parameters in the rat.

Background: Brennan's rodent paw incision model has been extensively used for understanding mechanisms underlying postoperative pain in humans. However, alterations of physiological parameters like blood pressure and heart rate, or even feeding and drinking patterns after the incision have not been documented as yet. Moreover, though eicosanoids like prostaglandins and leukotrienes contribute to inflammation, tissue levels of these inflammatory mediators have never been studied.

Involvement of Neuropeptide Y in Post-Incisional Nociception in Rats.

Background: Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is abundantly distributed in the mammalian nervous system. Its role in nociception arising from inflammatory and neuropathic pain conditions has been elucidated. However, its involvement in post-incisional nociception, particularly at the spinal cord level, is relatively unknown.

Effect of preservation methods on tensile properties of human femur-ACL-tibial complex (FATC) - a cadaveric study on male subjects.

Purpose: Deep freezing and storing in formalin are some of the common techniques of human tissue preservation. However, the preservation modes affect the biomechanical properties of the tissues. In this work, the effects of the above-stated preservation tech- niques are compared with that of fresh cadaveric samples.

Experimental assessment of biomechanical properties in human male elbow bone subjected to bending and compression loads.

This work discusses the biomechanical testing of 3 elbow bones, namely the humerus, ulna, and radius. There is a need to identify the mechanical properties of the bones at the organ level. The following tests were performed: 3-point bending, fracture toughness, and axial compression.

Variation in the Branching Pattern of Third Part of Axillary Artery- A Case Report.

Anatomical variation of the branching pattern of axillary artery is very common. The knowledge of this variation is often useful during different surgical and interventional procedures. Variations include typically of Lateral Thoracic Artery (LTA) and Posterior Circumflex Humeral Artery (PCHA).

Variant Branching Pattern of Superior Thyroid Artery and Its Clinical Relevance: A Case Report.

Thyroid surgeries are most common neck surgeries; hence thorough knowledge of the blood supply of this gland to the surgeons is of immense importance to prevent any alarming haemorrhage. We report a rare unilateral branching pattern of superior thyroid artery (STA) on right side during routine dissection on an adult male cadaver in the Department of Anatomy, A.I.
