AI Article Synopsis
- This study examines the relationship between fetal clavicle length and gestational age in pregnant women between 14 and 27 weeks.
- Measurements of various fetal dimensions, like clavicle length and abdominal circumference, were taken through ultrasound and showed strong correlations with gestational age.
- The findings indicate a significant positive correlation between clavicle length and gestational week, suggesting a rule where 1 mm of clavicle length corresponds to 1 week of gestation, particularly useful for certain patient conditions.
Article Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the correlation between fetal clavicle length and gestational age in pregnant patients from 14 and 27 weeks of gestation.
Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study of patients from 14 and 27 weeks of gestation. Ultrasonographic measurements such as abdominal circumference (AC), femur length (FL), humerus length (HL), clavicle length (CL), head circumference (HC), biparietal diameter (BPD), estimated fetal weight (EFW), and transverse cerebellum diameter (TCD) were made and compared.
Results: A total of 552 patients were evaluated in our clinic and CL was measured properly and successfully in all fetuses. Fetal AC, FL, HL, CL, BPD, HC, EFW and TCD measurements were significantly and strongly correlated with gestational week, and Pearson's correlation values were 0.964, 0.965, 0.959, 0.965, 0.951, 0.917, 0.925, and 0.954, respectively (p < 0.001). In the regression analysis equation, gestational week = 0.894 + CL × 0.961.
Conclusion: There was a significant positive correlation between fetal CL (mm) and gestational week. We suggest that the 1 mm = 1 week rule can be used for patients with anomalies of the cerebellum and vermis, as well as for patients with unknown last menstrual period.

Department of Neurosurgery, Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital, Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital affiliated Yangzhou University.
Objective: To explore the anatomic characteristics of C7 nerve localization, course, and length during cross-transfer surgery of the C7 nerve through the anterior vertebral approach and investigate the feasibility, safety, and clinical efficacy of C7 nerve transfer surgery through the anterior vertebral approach for the treatment of central upper limb spastic paralysis.
Methods: Four fresh-frozen adult head and neck samples were selected. C7 nerve transfer surgery was simulated through the anterior vertebral approach.
Intramuscular stiffness distribution in anterior and posterior upper trapezius muscles in healthy young males.

Introduction: Increased muscle stiffness in the upper trapezius has been suggested to be associated with cervical myofascial pain and myofascial trigger points (MTrP). Recently, efforts have been made to objectively detect MTrP using ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE). However, there is no consensus on the relationship between muscle stiffness assessed by SWE and MTrP.

New Insights Into Breast and Chest Wall Asymmetry in the Aesthetic Patient.
Aesthet Surg J Open Forum
September 2024
Background: Asymmetry, a prevalent phenomenon throughout the human body, prompts this retrospective study, in which the authors aim at discerning potential patterns in its manifestation. Building upon our previous investigations in which left-sided chest wall and pelvic bone width surpassed their right-sided counterparts, a hypothesis is formulated suggesting the likelihood of the right breast being narrower and longer compared with the left.
Objectives: Our objective in this study is to investigate the correlation between the left-sidedness phenomenon in the chest wall and breast shape and appearance, with the aim of understanding its potential impact on outcomes in breast aesthetic surgery.

A total of 230 cleared and alizarin stained and 136 radiographed specimens of Darevskia belonging to 47 nominal taxa (species, subspecies or singular clades) including the seven parthenogenetic ones and a triploid hybrid were studied. Sixteen osteological characters in all the tried species were analyzed. These characters by corporal regions were: skull characters: 1.
