Assessment of pathological and morphological changes in those who died from COVID-19 including persons received therapy in medical and preventive institutions (LPI) and who died suddenly from this pathology at home. The analysis data of the pathological and anatomical changes in 57 deaths from COVID-19 in hospitals and 74 forensic medical examinations where infectious pathology was established as the main cause of death are presented. For microscopy the sections were stained with hemotoxylin and eosin, OCG, immunohistochemical study with markers for CD3, CD 4, CD 20, SK-7. The mixed viral and bacterial lesions of the lungs were detected more often than pure viral infection in those who died suddenly from COVID-19 compared with people whose death occurred in medical facilities. This allows speaking about the lack of adequate antibiotic therapy out-patiently. Features of mononuclear lung infiltration in COVID-19 with a predominance of a moderately pronounced reaction of T-lymphocytes and a mild B-lymphocytic reaction indicate a decrease in immunological reactivity. Conducting clinical and anatomical analysis allows determining the features of pathogenesis and morphogenesis in each specific fatal case and informing the clinicians of health facilities (clinics and hospitals) allows the autopsy doctor (pathologist, forensic physician) to provide significant assistance in improving the quality of diagnosis and treatment of patients with this highly contagious severe viral disease.

Background: Myelomeningocele (MMC) is the most common type of congenital spinal malformation, typically requiring surgical intervention. While prenatal repair is increasingly favored, postnatal repair remains the standard in many settings. This study aims to evaluate the antibiotics prescribed to neonates with MMC and their correlation with central nervous system (CNS) infection rates following postnatal surgical repair.

Purpose: The greater palatine foramen (GPF) represents the inferior opening of the greater palatine canal and is located posterolaterally on both sides of the hard palate. The aim of this study is to morphometrically characterise the GPF and to determine its anatomical relationships in a Portuguese population.
Methods: A retrospective study was performed based on the clinical records which included all permanent teeth erupted and a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) of the entire maxilla.

Purpose: This meta-analytical systematic review aims at investigating the variability of the pterion, focusing on its morphological types and precise distances from various bony landmarks. Additionally, the neurosurgical significance of this critical cranial landmark is examined in depth.
Methods: The systematic review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 and Evidence-based Anatomy Workgroup guidelines for anatomical studies.

Introduction: The anterior division of the internal iliac artery (ADIIA) is a crucial vascular structure that supplies blood to the pelvic organs, perineum, and gluteal region. The present study demonstrates practical data concerning the anatomy of the ADIIA and its branches. It is hoped that the results of the current study may aid in localizing the pelvic arteries effectively.

Background/Aims: The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of the resected caudate lobe on survival, particularly in the context of anatomical resection of liver metastases in colorectal cancers without metastases in the caudate lobe. Materials and Methods: Patient data were extracted from the dataset titled "Preoperative CT and Survival Data for Patients Undergoing Resection of Colorectal Liver Metastases (CRLM)." The analysis specifically concentrated on individuals who underwent complete cau- date lobe resection in the absence of radiological signs of metastasis within the caudate lobe itself.
