The microvascularisation of the male urethra was studied in neonates and infants by injection of agarised China ink into the circulation. The purpose of this study was to specify the angioarchitecture of each tunic of the urethral wall. The disposition of the microvascularisation networks varies depending on the urethral parts considered: only the mucous membrane networks are uniform throughout the entire urethra. The sub-mucous networks are significantly increased in the spongy part. The muscular networks disappear in the spongy part. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Macroscopic changes of the lips in the edentulous elderly subject are accompanied by variations in their microvascularisation. This study was undertaken on histological or clarified sections from totally edentulous subjects whose vascular system was injected with Indian ink agar. A reduction in density and size of the superficial (papillary or mucosal) and deep (reticular or submucosal) networks is observed with age. These changes are to be seen in relation to imaging and to the reduction in occlusal potential of the lips. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main nerves of the pelvis and lower limbs arise from the lumbar and sacral plexuses. These nerves can be affected by any of a large number of pathologic processes that occur in the paravertebral and pelvic regions. Understanding of the neurological findings related to paravertebral and pelvic pathology needs complete and accurate knowledge of the anatomy of these regions. The axial transverse sections of computed tomography give perfect visualisation of the anatomy of osseous, muscular, and vascular structures of the vertebral and paravertebral area and pelvic walls. Visualisation of the nerves in this regions is much more difficult, because direct demonstration of nervous structures by computed tomography is usually impossible. To be able to identify components of the lumbosacral plexus on axial CT sections the radiologist has to know the location of the nervous structures and the relationships of these structures to vascular, muscular and osseous structures which are easily demonstrated.

The results of a CT-anatomical correlative study of the main ligaments of the cervico-occipital hinge are reported. CT criteria of normal ligamentous structure of this region are presented in axial, coronal and sagittal views with a special attention to the transverse ligament of the Atlas. Examples of pathological transverse ligaments are illustrated and emphasis is laid upon the better statement CT allows in such cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The authors propose a theory concerning the pathogeny of the mobile odontoid. They believe that this malformation could result from abnormal shortness of the transverse ligament of the atlas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Professor Jean-Georges Koritké was born at Strasbourg on 17 July 1928. He was a member of that generation of Alsatians who had their primary schooling in French, their secondary education in German and their higher education in French. After his matriculation in 1946 he hesitated between the Conservatoire of Music and the Faculty of Medicine. He opted for medicine and enrolled at the PCB in October of 1946. In the first year of the medical course he was taught anatomy by the Dean André Forster, and by Professor Georges Winckler, teachers whose research was directed towards functional and comparative anatomy. When Koritké was in his second year, Professor Philippe Bellocq returned from Lille to Strasbourg. The exceptional teaching (medico-surgical topographic anatomy) and pedagogic talents of Philippe Bellocq greatly impressed the young student. Koritké's anatomic career can be outlined as follows. In 1950 he became a demonstrator of anatomy as well as a hospital extern (1950-1954), and then successively Assistant, Senior Tutor (1955) and Associate Professor of the Faculties of Medicine (1958, at the age of 30); he was appointed at Besançon (1958) and at Strasbourg (1960), becoming untenured Professor in 1960. He was appointed titular Professor of Anatomy at Strasbourg on March 1, 1966, replacing Professor Pierre Meyer after the latter's premature death. He was formally installed as titular Professor of Normal Anatomy, Biologist to the Hospitals and Head of Department from 1967 to 1993. He continued his university activities until August 1994. He died on 1 August 1996. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
