Background: This study emphasizes locating the anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) related to its level of origin, number, and lengths of its muscular branches and relation to surgically important landmarks such as the bi-epicondylar line, pronator teres, and Gantzer muscles.
Methods: The study was undertaken at a private Medical school in south India during 2019-20. The level of origin of AIN was measured from the bi-epicondylar line and its length was measured up to the upper border of the pronator quadratus using 44 cadaveric upper limbs. The number of branches given to flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) and flexor pollicis longus (FPL) was quantified and their lengths were measured.
Results: The nerve originated at a mean distance of 41.56 mm from the bi-epicondylar line. In 12 upper limbs, FDP received two branches and in two limbs, it received three branches. In 13 upper limbs, FPL received two branches from AIN. It was observed that the muscular branches for FDP were shorter than those for FPL. Gantzer muscle was observed in 18 (40%) specimens and was found superficial to the nerve.
Conclusion: The muscular branches of AIN had a variable pattern of innervation. Multiple muscular branches to the FPL and FDP were observed in the upper 2/3rds of the forearm. These branches to FPL and FDP would aid as a source of nerve grafting and nerve transfer in the cases of upper extremity nerve palsies.

Objective: The thoracodorsal artery perforator flap has not been widely used in clinical practice partly due to a lack of imaging evidence. The authors aim to investigate the types of thoracic dorsal artery perforators through angiography and provide our experiences in the utilization of thoracic dorsal artery perforator flaps to repair adjacent wounds.
Methods: This study was divided into two parts.

The Effect of Eight Weeks of High-Intensity Interval Training on Follistatin Gene Expression in the Fast and Slow Twitch Muscles of Rats with Myocardial Infarction.

Article Synopsis
- Myocardial infarction leads to mitochondrial damage and loss of function, prompting research into treatment options, including high-intensity interval training (HIIT) for muscle recovery.
- A study at Shahid Rajaei University investigated the impact of 8 weeks of HIIT on follistatin (FST) gene expression in fast and slow twitch muscle in rats with myocardial infarction.
- Results showed a significant decrease in FST gene expression in slow twitch muscles and a significant increase in fast twitch muscles after HIIT, indicating changes in muscle atrophy response following intense exercise.

Purpose: We set out to develop a publicly available tool that could accurately diagnose spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in exome, genome or panel sequencing datasets aligned to a GRCh37, GRCh38, or T2T reference genome.
Methods: The SMA Finder algorithm detects the most common genetic causes of SMA by evaluating reads that overlap the c.840 position of the SMN1 and SMN2 paralogs.
