Background: The common femoral artery is a chief source of blood supply to the lower limb. Variations in its anatomy, like its absence, high level commencement of the deep femoral artery (DFA) with a superficial course, are unusual. The knowledge of such variations may have substantial clinical applications, specifically in vascular surgical procedures, catheterizations, and diagnostic or interventional radiology.

Anatomy has always been at the intersection of the socio-cultural and political landscape, where new ideas constantly replace older wisdom. From ancient Egyptians through the Greeks, and then the Romans, finally culminating into the European Renaissance-all the significant eras of human civilisation have left their insignia and distinct marks on the evolution of anatomical practices. Despite its utility as a tool for anatomy pedagogy and research that has proven its worth over millennia, cadaveric dissection has particularly been subject to political and social vicissitudes.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the frequency and characteristics of the foramen venosum in an Indian population, emphasizing its significance for neurosurgeons due to its potential to spread infections.
- A total of 62 dry adult human skulls were analyzed using image processing software, revealing that the foramen venosum was present in 49.1% of the skulls, with a larger size observed at the extracranial base compared to the middle cranial fossa.
- The findings highlight the anatomical variations of the foramen venosum and its relation to the foramen ovale, providing crucial information for medical professionals involved in surgeries related to the middle cranial fossa.

Purpose: Hermann Stieve (1886-1952), director of the Berlin Anatomical Institute from 1935, benefited from the rise of execution numbers during the "Third Reich". He used organs and tissues from executed women for his histological research on the reproductive organs and investigated the influence of "nervous agitation" on the cyclical changes of endometrium and ovary. It is still controversial how he was able to acquire intimate data on the executed women and it was therefore suggested that some of his data may have been "invented".
