Objectives The aim of this anatomical study was to analyze distances and anatomical relations between the lower cranial nerves and important neck landmarks. Methods Anatomical study based on neck dissection in Thiel-embalmed cadavers. Anatomical relations and distances between the vagus (X), accessory (XI), and hypoglossal (XII) nerves and important neck landmarks were registered and compared.

Plating after tumor curettage in human femora does not efficiently improve torsional stability ex vivo.

J Mech Behav Biomed Mater

Department of Orthopedics and Trauma, Medical University of Graz, Auenbruggerplatz 5, 8036, Graz, Austria. Electronic address:

Background: Surgical treatments of benign primary bone tumors of the femur face the challenge of limiting tissue damage and contamination while providing sufficient stabilization to avoid fracture. While no clear treatment guidelines exist, surgical treatment commonly consists of femoral fenestration and curettage with optional filling and plating of the defect. Mono- or bicortical plating of distal femoral defects aim to reduce fracture risk and have been shown to increase axial stability.

Sonographic Obturator Nerve Block At Level Of Superior Pubic Ramus: A Thiel based Cadaveric Investigation With Latex.

Rev Esp Anestesiol Reanim (Engl Ed)

Department of Anaesthesiology, Ibra Hospital, North Sharqiya Governorate, Sultanate of Oman. Electronic address:

Introduction: A proximal obturator nerve block has a similar block efficacy as the distal obturator nerve block. Previous cadaveric investigation injecting methylene blue dye solution and an immediate dissection proved the solution engulfing the anterior and posterior divisions of the obturator nerve as they emerge from the obturator canal. Uptake of methylene blue dye by the fascia and muscles obscures the exact delineation of the stained nerves.

Article Synopsis
  • * Fifteen participants took a pre-test and post-test, with scores improving from a mean of 5.87 to 6.87, though the improvement wasn't statistically significant.
  • * Overall, participants had positive perceptions of using Thiel-embalmed cadavers, believing they enhanced their understanding and skills in MSK-UTZ and supported the idea of incorporating this method into their training.
