Botulinum toxin acts at neuromuscular junctions close to muscle motor points and is used to help manage spastic upper-limb deformities. To develop a system allowing clinicians to identify optimal injection sites by an easily reproducible technique, forearm flexor muscles were dissected in 20 formalin-preserved human limbs. Motor points for flexor carpi ulnaris, flexor carpi radialis, flexor digitorum superficialis and pronator teres were (1) identified, (2) related to a reference grid based on lines (proximal, distal, lateral, medial and diagonals) drawn between forearm anatomical landmarks, and (3) defined in terms of their percentage distances along the established grid lines.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a healthcare burden affecting over 595 million people worldwide. Recently, intra-articular platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections from the patient's blood have shown promise in slowing KOA progression due to platelets' regenerative properties. This study aimed to evaluate the optimal dosing and schedule for PRP therapy in managing mild to moderate KOA.

Despite the promising results in cancer treatment, standard monotherapy remains insufficient for a wide range of oncological diseases. Combined therapy can significantly improve therapeutic outcomes compared to single-agent treatments. However, identifying the optimal treatment regimen for combined therapy can be a challenging task.

Patients And Methods: In the presented report, the cause of couple infertility was a combination of a 38-year-old female and 43-year-old male with azoospermia, which was an indication for oocyte vitrification. Oocyte polar bodies and optically birefringent meiotic spindles were visualized by polarized light microscopy and their states and relative positions were used as indicators of oocyte maturation, i.
