Neurol Med Chir (Tokyo)
March 2007
Anatomical measurements of the cervical pedicle in a large series of human cervical vertebrae from 48 individuals were obtained to reduce the incidence and severity of complications caused by transpedicular screw placement. The greatest pedicle length was at C-3 and the greatest pedicle width was at C-6. Pedicle width and lateral mass thickness gradually increased from C-3 to C-6.

- The study focused on the early development of retinal pigmented epithelial (RPE) cells in chick embryos, examining cell division, movement, and shape.
- The research involved isolating cells from embryos and analyzing them through a time-lapse imaging system to observe their behavior during cell division.
- Results showed that RPE cells exhibit colony-type growth with significant differences in division time based on their location within the colony, highlighting the complex interplay of factors influencing cell proliferation and movement.
Variations in sphenoid sinus anatomy with special emphasis on pneumatization and endoscopic anatomic distances.
Neurosciences (Riyadh)
January 2005
Objective: The purpose of this study was to present the morphometry and pneumatization of the sphenoid sinus in detail for the neurosurgeon for transnasal approach to the hypophyseal tumors and especially for functional endoscopic sinus surgery.
Methods: One hundred and eighty midsagittal magnetic resonance images, 48 bones and 29 hemi-sectioned cadaveric heads obtained from Ege University, Faculty of Medicine, Departments of Anatomy and Radiology were used in 2003. The sphenoid sinuses were classified into sellar, pre-sellar, conchal and post-sellar types according to the extent of their posterior limits.
Heights of the cerebral falx. Surgical and clinical implications.
Neurosciences (Riyadh)
October 2004
Objective: Variations in the shape and size of the cerebral falx can embarrass the surgical treatment of lesions in and around the falx. In this study, anatomy and morphometry of the cerebral falx in adult cadaveric specimens were examined to enable easy approach during surgery.
Methods: Fifty-two adult cadaver cerebral hemispheres with dura from the cadaver collection of the Department of Anatomy, Ege University, Faculty of Medicine were examined in 2003.
