Knowledge and understanding of facial anatomy is crucial for effective and safe cosmetic procedures. When a rejuvenation plan including minimal invazive or invazive procedures has been made for a patient, knowledge of a clear facial and neck anatomy will increase the sucsess and decrease the complications. To obtain natural-looking results during cosmetic procedures changes occuring due to aging also should be very well-known. In this article, the anatomy of face and neck with important structures and regions has been described as well as specific age-related changes in these anatomic structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the arteria celiaca and its branches macro-anatomically. Six hasmer sheep were used in the study. Latex and monopolymethymethacrylate (tachilon) colored to abdominal aorta were given to the abdominal cavity. It was determined that the first branch of aorta abdominalis in the cavum abdominis was arteria celiaca. Arteria lienalis before arterial celiaca and then arteria hepatica and arteria gastrica sinistra were separated into a common root. Arteria lienalis branched rami pancreatici, ramus epiploicus, arteria ruminalis sinistra and arteria ruminalis dextra. Arteria hepatica gave arteria cystica, arteria gastrica dextra and rami pancreatici at the porta hepatis level and the continuation of the vessel was arteria gastroduodenalis. The arteria gastrica sinistra, which is the continuation of the arterial celiaca, was found to be the thickest branch, during which it gave arteria reticularis, arteria gastroepiploica sinistra and arteria reticularis accessoria, and then ended up with anastomosis with arteria gastrica dextra. Arteria reticularis, ramus ruminalis and ramus reticularis were divided into branches. Arteria reticularis accessoria was terminated by giving a few branches to the visceral face of the reticulum and the parietal face of the omasum. As a result; in the hasmer sheep breed, the origin of the artery celiaca in the aorta abdominalis and vascularizing branches of the organs were determined to have several differences. It was concluded that the differences could be due to race characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bu çalışmada, Allium cepa L. (Soğan) üzerine Cıva (Hg) ağır metal iyonunun farklı dozlarının toksik etkileri araştırıldı. Bu amaçla; çimlenme yüzdesi, kök uzunluğu, ağırlık artışı, mikronukleus (MN) sıklığı, kromozomal anormallikler ve mitotik indeks (MI) toksisitenin indikatörleri olarak kullanıldı. Ayrıca, Cıva (Hg)’ya maruz kalan A. cepa L. kök ucu meristem hücrelerindeki değişimlerde araştırıldı. Tohumlar bir (1) kontrol ve üç (3) Cıva (Hg) uygulama grubu olarak toplam dört (4) gruba ayrıldı. Kontrol grubundaki tohumlar, oda sıcaklığında 72 saat süresince çeşme suyu, uygulama grubundaki tohumlar ise yine oda sıcaklığında 72 saat süresince Cıva (Hg)’nın 25, 50 ve 100 mg/L dozlarıyla muamele edilmişlerdir. Sonuçlar, kontrol ile karşılaştırıldığında, Cıva (Hg)’ya maruz kalan tohumlarda çimlenme yüzdesi, kök uzunluğu, ağırlık artışı, mikronukleus (MN), kromozomal anormallikler ve mitotik indeks (MI) sıklığında doza bağlı istatistiksel olarak önemli değişimler olduğunu gösterdi (p lt;0.05). Cıva (Hg), tüm uygulama gruplarında, çimlenme yüzdesi, kök uzunluğu, ağırlık artışı ve MI’i önemli oranda azalttı. Fakat MN ve kromozomal anormallik sıklığında ise artışa neden oldu. Ayrıca, ışık mikrograflar yassılaşmış hücre çekirdeği, belirgin olmayan iletim doku, nekroz, korteks hücre çeperinde kalınlaşma, hücre deformasyonu ve korteks hücrelerinde bazı maddelerin birikimi şeklinde bazı anatomik değişmeleri gösterdi. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışmada, A. cepa L.’nın Cıva (Hg)’ya karşı çok hassas olduğu ve Cıva (Hg) tarafından teşvik edilen kirliliğin izlenmesinde indikatör olarak kullanılabileceği gösterildi.

Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve entrapment is a common pathophysiology causing Meralgia Paresthetica (MP). It can be characterized by pain and dysesthesia over lateral thigh. Patient with MP classically presents with numbness, paresthesia or dysesthesia of anterolateral aspect of the thigh. However, the symptoms may be similar with other conditions including lumbar radiculopathy, femoro-acetabular impingement, trochanteric bursitis and others. It serves as a diagnosis of exclusion for unexplained anterolateral thigh pain after rigorous investigations. Anatomical knowledge on the nerves which supply the femoral area is essential in suspecting and ruling out the causes of pain. We report a case of a 46-year-old male, with known case of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, ischaemic heart disease, presented to Emergency and Trauma Department with complaint of acute right lateral thigh pain. The pain was described as burning and pricking in nature, and associated with numbness. There was also reduced sensation over the affected area. There was no allodynia or hyperalgesia. The capillary blood sugar was 8.4 mmol/l and HbA1c result was 7%. The diagnosis of MP was established after excluding other possible differential diagnoses in view of negative findings from the physical examination, laboratory result and radiological investigations (X-ray, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging). Patient's condition improved after the treatment with oral neuropathic agents and physiotherapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A number of animal models have been developed for experimental liver surgery protocols such as lobectomy, ischemia and reperfusion studies, organ injuries, and drug trials. Though, some morphometric studies describe the liver lobes in rats and mice, such anatomical information is not sufficiently available in rabbits. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anatomical approaches for experimental liver resection in the rabbit, and to examine the proportional distribution of each lobe conforming to the whole organ, and to schematize the macroanatomical properties of each lobe. For this purpose, the liver lobes were dissected according to anatomical references. The volumes and weights of the whole organ and the individual lobes were measured. The percentages of the liver lobes were calculated according to the weight and volume of the total liver. The interlobar notch, especially between the medial and lateral parts of the left lobe was more prominent than that between the quadrate and the right lobe. The proportion of the left lateral and medial lobe was 27%, and 24% relative to the total liver weight, similarly, the right lobe, quadrate lobe and the caudate lobe was 19%, 7% and 23%, respectively. The volumetric ratios of liver lobes were also found close to the mass ratios. In conclusion, anatomical information from this study can be used as a reference in performing various experimental surgical studies on the rabbit liver. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The skin is the largest organ of the body, comprising over 15% of body mass. Main functions of skin are to provide a mechanical barrier against the external environment and protect the body from infections and physical damage. The structure, functions and properties of skin have been subject of interest for decades. As new findings emerge, questions remain about the more delicate infrastructure of skin. New studies are on going to investigate the detailed structure and physiology of epidermal and dermal cells. In recent years, there is a growing body of research on differences between male and female skin. Here, in this review, the properties and characteristics of male skin, also the anatomy of male face are summarized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study was to investigate the macroanatomical examination of lung vessels in Hasak sheep. In this study, 8 Hasak sheep lungs from Konya Bahri Dağdaş International Agricultural Research Institute, Unit of Experimental Animals Unit were used. Corrosion casting technique and latex injection were applied to the materials. Corrosion casting technique and latex injection materials were photographed and presented in the study. The lungs were found to be wrapped with pleura visceralis (pleura pulmonalis) in the cavum thoracis. The venae pulmonales, carrying the clean blood to the heart, left the lobes of the lung. Later, cranial root was formed by the merger of the v. pulmonalis lobi cranialis dextri ve v. pulmonalis lobi medii and also caudal root was formed by the merger of the v. pulmonalis lobi caudalis dextri, ramus lobi accessorii, v. pulmonalis lobi cranialis sinistri and v. pulmonalis lobi caudalis sinistri. These two roots were opened to the atrium sinister. It was observed that truncus pulmonalis (arteria pulmonalis) was a vessel that carries the venous blood in the right ventricle to the lungs and 3 semilunar valvula found in its origin. Truncus pulmonalis ended with divided of a. pulmonalis dextra ve a. pulmonalis sinistra at the level of bifurcatio trachea. In this study, anatomical features of lung vessels and similarities and differences with other species were revealed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cyclamen L., the genus of the Primulaceae family has 12 species growing in Turkey, of which 6 are endemic. In this research the anatomical, palinological and micromorphological features of the Cyclamen coum subsp. coum Miller taxon belonging to the genus Cyclamen L. were determined to contribute to the taxonomy of the genus. The pollen of the C. coum subsp. coum Miller species is tetracolporate, spheroidal. Anatomical studies of C. coum subsp. coum Miller with root transverse, leaf transverse, pedicel and petiol cross sections were made for the first time. In the study, as a result of transverse and superficial sections taken from C. coum subsp. coum Miller taxa, the cells in stem, stem and leaves were observed both in terms of layer number and size. The presence of collenchyma in transient sections from petiole and the diffusion of the conduction bundles and the polyderricity of epidermis cells in leaf superficial sections are different from other species. Morphological findings obtained in the present study was generally consistent with that given in the Flora of Turkey in numerical data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate clinical features, management of intensive care treatment, complications and mortality in children with meningitis treated in pediatric intensive care unit. Method: Data of 47 patients who were followed-up in the pediatric intensive care unit between January 2006 and December 2014 with the diagnosis of meningitis were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were screened for demographic features, etiological and predisposing factors, physical examination and laboratory findings, treatment, prognosis, mortality rate, acute and chronic complications, Glasgow coma scale and pediatric mortality risk score. Results: The age, sex distribution, hospitalization day, and chronic disease rate of aseptic meningitis and bacterial meningitis did not differ significantly. In bacterial meningitis, S. pneumoniae was detected in 12.5% of patients and N. meningitidis in 6.2% of patients. In aseptic meningitis, invasive ventilation, inotropic use rate and pediatric mortality risk score score were significantly lower than the bacterial meningitis (p=0.011, p=0.042 and p=0.043, respectively). Conclusion: Early diagnosis, initiation of appropriate antibiotic therapy, and provision of necessary life support in life-threatening complications may reduce the need for pediatric intensive care unit, morbidity and mortality in meningitis patients. We believe that multicenter and prospective studies are needed to reduce sequelae and mortality of meningitis cases observed in pediatric intensive care unit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Vagus nerve injury is one of the most feared and highly prevalent complications of carotid endarterectomy (CEA). The aim of this study is to demonstrate the bilateral positional variations of the common carotid artery (CCA), vagus nerve and internal jugular vein (IJV) inside the carotid sheath in postmortem cadaveric specimens. Method: Carotid endarterectomy procedure was performed bilaterally step by step in 20 cadavers and every step was photographed. Positional variations of vagus nerve, CCA and IJV inside right and left carotid sheaths were evaluated. Results: In all dissections anatomical relations between vagus nerve and vascular structures were identified. The right vagus nerve was positioned posteriorly, medially, and anteriorly to IJV and CCA in 8 (40%), 4 (20%) and 4 (20%) of the specimens, respectively. In 2 (10%) specimens right vagus nerve was posterior to the IJV and in 2 (10) specimens' right vagus nerve was positioned posterior to the CCA. The left vagus nerve was positioned anteriorly, centrally, and posteriorly to IJV and common carotid artery in 10 (50%), 2 (10%) and 5 (25%) of the specimens, respectively. In 2 (10%) specimens left vagus nerve was positioned posterior to IJV. In 1 (5%) specimen the vagus nerve was located posterior to CCA. Conclusion: In right and left anatomical relations between vagus nerve and vascular structures, considerable asymmetry was seen in anterior and middle positioning of vagus nerve. During CEA, taking this asymmetry into consideration is important to prevent possible cranial nerve injury complications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective Caudate nucleus has been discussed as a target for new treatments of neurologic and psychiatric diseases but the connectivity remains unclear for both microsurgical procedures and stereotactic interventions despite the basic neuroanatomical knowledge. We aim to reveal the anatomic features of the caudate nucleus in psychiatric diseases using fiber dissection technique. Material and Methods Four brain specimens (8 Hemispheres) were frozen for 15 days at -16 °C according to Klingler's Technique. The freezing process facilitates the dissection of the fiber tracts. After completion of the freezing process, all of the hemispheres were dissected and the dissections were stepwise performed from lateral to medial, under x6 to x40 magnification using a surgical microscope, two and three-dimensional anatomic pictures were obtained. Results Stepwise microsurgical fiber dissection of the caudate nucleus and adjacent areas were dissected. The cortical areas communicating with and overlying the caudate nucleus are reviewed. Frontocaudate connection fibers and temporocaudate fibers were intense and the microsurgical anatomy of the area were revealed. Two and three dimetional pictures were taken step by step. Conclusion Psychosurgery has been used primarily in treatment of depression when medical treatments were not adequate. Deep brain stimulation of caudate nucleus is not a standard method in clinical practice. Deep brain stimulation of caudate nucleus is not a standard method in clinical practice but it could be an alternate treatment for Parkinson's disease, obsessive compulsive disorder and major depression.

Objective: Attendance in anatomy class has greater importance for students of health sciences as they hold a vital nature of their professional knowledge and practices and the responsibility for intervening the lives of others. Absenteeism is occasionally raised as an issue by attending students who resent others "getting away" with non-attendance and some formal documents appear to suggest that attendance should be mandated. This article researches to explore non-attendance from the perspective of absent students in anatomy classes of health sciences. Material and Method: The research data was collected from freshman year students of Ataturk Vocational School of Health Science by means of a questionnaire during the anatomy classes of the academic year 2016-2017. Together with the demographic data, the questionnaire includes a Likert-type scale aiming to determine the factors influencing attendance at lectures. Results: 198 students participated in this study on a voluntary basis from different programs such as anesthesia, audiometry, dialysis, first aid and emergency and operating service. Raising attainment levels, being able to take their own lecture notes, learning which aspects of the lecture content were being emphasized and the opportunity to ask questions were amongst the chief reasons for attending anatomical lectures. It appears that the factors preventing students from attending lectures are mainly individual. Amongst the most frequently cited causes of non-attendance, sleeplessness, ill health and the inefficiency of lectures in overcrowded halls were emphasized. Conclusion: The vital nature of professional expertise and its applications, health sciences students' attendance at lectures carried greater importance. It was important to strengthen the mentoring system with regard to individual and external factors, which had been implicated to have a substantial influence on lecture attendance by students. In this article, we also note that enforcing attendance apparently runs counter to import pedagogic principles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the study, the mandibles of 13 subadult male Nannospalax nehringi (2n = 50 captured in Kars location were used. Firstly, after removing the skin and muscle on the mandible, the mandibles were subjected to maceration in a controlled manner by boiling in water and cleaned. Then, measurements of the mandible were performed with digital caliper (0.01, BTS, Eng). Determination of mean and standard deviation values of the obtained measurements and Pearson correlation test were performed with SPSS (20.0) software. Driesch 1976 was used to determine the points on the mandible. At the end of the maceration process, it was observed that the mandible did not separate from the symphysis mandible. Additionally incisors and molar teeth were seen on the mandible. Radix dentis of the incisor teeth I and II curved in "C" shape through the caudal direction in the alveoli dentales. It was seen that, the mandible has 4 processes including proc. coronoideus, proc. condylaris, proc. alveolaris and proc. angularis. In addition, foramen mandible is wider and more prominent than the mental foramen. As a result of the statistical analysis, it was determined that maximum distance is between the infradentale and proc. alveolaris (L11). According to the left side correlation analysis, it was found that there was a strong positive correlation between the (L1/L8), (L6/L5) and (L11/L13) lengths respectively. Similarly, positive strong correlation was observed between (L6/L5) and (L11/L13) lengths in the right side correlation analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Botulinum toxin (BTX) is frequently used in medical facial rejuvenation applications. However, the muscles and the neurovascular structures in the head and neck can vary from person to person. The use of individual algorithms instead of the fixed treatments that can be applied for any cases might be beneficial for both complications and treatment success. Therefore, it is important to define the significant anatomical structures of the head and neck and trace the projections of these structures on the skin. For this reason, the anatomical points that should be considered for BTX applications on the face and neck are summarized in our article. Despite all experience and clinical knowledge, complications should be kept in mind at all times because of the presence of individual variations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Specific understanding of root anatomy plasticity under salt stress is lacking and requires creation of efficient screening techniques for stress condition s. To fill this gap, this study aimed to determine the anatomical plasticity in root chracteristics of 31 different rice cultivars (from ‘Best’ to ‘Low’ yielding) grown under real field conditions (saline and non-saline) from planting to harvesting and to reveal detailed root anatomical parameters that can be used to select and breed salt-tolerant rice. Anatomical and histochemical features of all cultivars and thin structures of the apoplastic barriers were investigated. The amount of silica (Si), 35 different anatomical characteristics, anatomical plasticity characteristics, plasticity rates, plasticity trends and changes and strategies of each group under saline and non-saline conditions were compared. The results showed that protective anatomical characters improved/remained equal to, and worsened/remained equal to those of the controls, in the ‘Best’ and other groups, respectively, from non-saline to saline conditions. Anatomical plasticity is essentially directly related to apoplastic barrier features. High genotypic variation was observed in root anatomy in all cultivars, but foremost traits were as follows: (1) cell size, (2) Si presence, (3) Si accumulation shape, (4) Si distribution towards root stele, (5) xylem arch features, (6) lignification-suberization properties in apoplastic barriers and their degrees, (7) presence/absence of idioblast cells filled with gummic and phenolic substances and (8) moderate anatomical plasticity. Cultivars with the most stabile anatomy under saline and non-saline conditions should be used to select and breed salt-resistant rice.

In this study, plants derived from Helianthus annuus L. (sunflower) seeds by using the embryo culture method were studied to preserve them at low temprature and to determine the anatomical and karyological changes. The germinated control plants were grown in the sand. The experimental group were cultured on MS embryo culture medium containing, 0,5 mg/l BAP and 0,1 mg/l NAA. One-half of these plants were kept at 16/8 hours photoperiod at 25 o C, and the remains kept in the dark at 4 o C. In the anatomical evaluation, structures such as epidermis, cortex parenchyma, parenchyma, vascular bundles of experimental group plants showed some major differences than the control. Mitotic index values have been identified 22,9% in the control, 60% in the experimental group grown at photoperiod at 25 o C, 10,1% in plants treated with dark and chilling. All of these abnormalities disappeared at normal culture conditions and plants showed healthy development. In conclusion, it is recommended that chilling storage of sunflower is a utilizable method.

Background: The present study was aimed to analyze the morphometric measurements of upper extremity dimensions and estimate the total body surface area, hand and palm area in healthy subjects aged between 18-25 years. Materials and Methods: After taking hand tracing, the length and width measurements were performed, and hand-palm indexes were calculated from 407 adult subjects (243 females; 164 males) aged 18 to 25 years. Also, arm span, height and weight were measured. Additionally, total body surface area was calculated using DuBois Formula and hand and palm area was estimated from hand tracing and the percent of hand and palm surface area were formulated. Results: In females, the mean values of age, weight, height, BMI and arm span were found as 19.68±2.42 years, 55.96±8.32 kg, 164.12±5.93 cm and 20.79±3.03 kg/m2 and 1.60±0.06 m, respectively, whereas the same values were 20.22±3.40 years, 71.48±11.98 kg, 176.96±6.26 cm, 22.80±3.44 kg/m2, and 1.76±0.05 m, respectively in males. Moreover, the significant difference was found between measurements such as height, weight, body mass index and arm span and gender. Total body surface area was estimated as 1.88±0.16 m2 and 1.60±0.12 m2 in males and females, respectively. Also, hand area of males was found as 156.31±11.25 m2 and 154.71±11.92 m2 in right and left side, respectively, whereas the corresponding value of females was measured as 128.15±11.14 m2 and 125.56±10.80 m2 in right and left side, respectively. Palm area of males was estimated 88.30±8.11 m2 and 87.52±8.61 m2 in right and left side, respectively. The same values of females were 71.51±6.19 m2 and 70.24±1.60 m2 in right and left side, respectively. However, there were significant difference in measurements of hand area, palm area, total body surface area, the percents of hand and palm surface area between gender. The hand index was found as 42.33±2.97 (right), 41.67±2.91 (left) in females, whereas the same values were established as 41.95±3.56 (right) and 42.03±2.64 (left) in males. Conclusions: The observations presented in present study, can provide principal knowledge about anatomic parameters. They need to be taken into consideration when surgical procedures are performed in hand region for female and male population. Also, the total body surface area, the percents of hand and palm surface area, hand and palm area values help to determine burns area, or extent of burn and wounds. Moreover, we can say that differences between measurements can depend on some factors such as gender, age, race, ethnic groups, geographical situations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study includes on the taxonomic evaluation of morphological and anatomical features of seeds belonging to Iris taxa, which are I. suaveolens, I. sintenisii, I. foetidissima and I. germanica scattered in Turkey. Morphological features like dimension, shape, colour, and surface ornamentation types of seeds have studied by light and scanning electron microscopes. The structure and thicknesses of testa and parenchyma layers in seeds have examined anatomically. The obtained results show that the color, shape, testa structure and thickness of the seeds of the examined taxa are different in some respects. Furthermore, the surface ornamentations are somewhat diverse for the studied taxa at the interspecific level. As a result, it has been determined that the examined morphological and anatomical characteristics of the seeds show variations with some exceptions, and this situation has a taxonomic importance.

Many anatomical variations exist in and around the carpal tunnel. However, symptomatic anomalies causing carpal tunnel syndrome is rare. Additionally, carpal tunnel surgery is considered a simple operation commonly done by junior surgeons who are usually unaware of variations resulting in unfavorable surgical outcomes. We highlight a case of lumbrical muscle variation causing carpal tunnel syndrome. A 73-year-old male presented with numbness and pain of both hands associated with abnormal fullness over both wrists and distal forearms. Initially the right hand was numb and subsequently a year later, the left hand became numb. Physical examination was positive for Durkan, Phalen and Tinel signs at the carpal tunnel. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed abnormal muscle tissues in the carpal tunnel. During the carpal tunnel release and exploratory surgery, we noted an abnormally proximal origin of the lumbrical muscles in the forearm rather than the typical palmar origin. He also had lumbrical muscle hypertrophy in the left side. These two factors resulted in overcrowding within the carpal tunnel. Postoperatively the patient recovered well with pain relief and gradual improvement of his numbness. Variations in the anatomy of the lumbrical muscles is not uncommon and may result in carpal tunnel syndrome. Hence, carpal tunnel release surgeries may not be as straight forward as expected and surgeons should be aware of this possibility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study was undertaken to perform a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the tarsal bones of chinchillas using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) images and reveal biometric ratio of the bones and compare between sexes. For this purpose, a total of 12 adult chinchillas (Chinchilla lanigera) of both sexes (six males and six females) were used. After anesthetizing the animals, MDCT images were obtained in DICOM format, and 3D reconstruction was performed on a computer using the Mimics 13.1 program. The volumes and surface areas of each of the bones that constitute the tarsus of the chinchilla were automatically measured by the program based on the 3D model. After all values of each tarsal bone were expressed as ratios with in tarsus, they were analyzed statistically to reveal differences between sexes. The results showed that there were statistical differences (P<0.05) in calcaneus, talus, central tarsal bone and tarsal bone IV in term of volume ratio and in central tarsal bone, tarsal bone I and tarsal bone IV in term of surface area ratio between sexes. It is considered that 3D tarsus models are useful in revealing anatomic structures and also in assisting clinical diagnosis and treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is essential to demonstrate organs and their structures practically in anatomy education. Plastination is an anatomical technique that has been used to prepare biological specimens for educational purposes. it is a gradual process by replacement of fluids in biological tissues with reactive polymers such as silicone, epoxy or polyester resin. This study was aimed to plastinate the internal genital organs of adult cows by S10B silicone plastination method. Ten internal genital organs of cows were plastinated to be used in veterinary undergraduate teaching/practices. After dissection and fixation, the specimens were plastinated with S10B plastination method and colour differentiation of the organ parts were measured. The plastination process was completed with dehydration, defatting, impregnation, and gas curing stages, respectively. It was observed that the plastination of specimens with S10B plastination method preserve normal anatomy of genital organs. It was estimated that all parts of uterus became greenish and bluish colour and the value of the brightness of uterus was increased. The tissue shrinkage was reduced considerably when dehydration was carried out in a cold environment. It was concluded that S10B plastination method can be easily used to prepare the specimens of genital organs to be used in veterinary teaching. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study was carried out to determine ossicula auditus morphometry and macro anatomy of male Hemshin sheep. For this purpose ten adult male sheep were used. The sheep heads were obtained from the local slaughterhouse of Ardanuç district of Artvin province. First, the skulls were cleaned from the muscle and skin. Then, the external ear canal (Meatus acusticus externus) was followed ear ossicles located in the cavum tympani was removed by dissecting. Measurements were taken from 14 different points on the ossicula auditus. In male Hemshin sheep ossicula auditus consists of three bones, os malleus, os incus and os stapes, os lenticulare was found as a processus lenticularis on os incus. The presence of processus lateralis, processus rostralis, and processus muscularis was observed on os malleus. The length of os malleus, os incus and os stapes were measured as right/left 7.00 ± 0.76 / 6.58 ± 0.085 mm, 2.89 ± 0.3 / 2.83 ± 0.68 mm and 1.76 ± 0.13 / 1.88 ± 0.17 mm respectively. The width of the corpus incudis was measured as right/left 2.39 ± 0.40, 2.16 ± 0.40 mm, and the width of the base stapedis was 1.25 ± 0.17/ 1.28 ± 0.15 mm, respectively. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference between right and left ossicula auditus (P> 0.05). As a result, a macro anatomical and morphometric study was performed on ossicula auditus of male Hemshin sheep which is not included in the literature. The findings obtained from the study were included in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sympathetic ganglions located in the cervical region are important organs that make the final synapse of the sympathetic nerve fibers reached to the head, neck, and forelimbs. As far as we know, there are not any anatomical data about cervical sympathetic ganglia in Saanen goat. In this study, we determined the nerve branches separated from the ganglia and the location of the ganglia. We also determined the expression of some enzymes and proteins such as tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine β-hydroxylase (DβH), neuropeptide Y (NPY) and substance P (SP) in ganglia. Ganglion cervicale craniale (GCC) was on the medial side of bulla tympanica. Mainly branches named as nn. carotici interni, n. jugularis and nn. carotici externi was found to be separated from this ganglion and thin branches joined to the nearby nerve. It was found that n. vertebralis, the two branches that constitute the ansa subclavian, and the thin nerve branches involved in the surrounding tissues and organs separated from ganglion cervicothoracicum (GCT) that located in the first intercostal space. A total of five ganglion cervicale medium (GCM) found at the junction of the two branches forming the ansa subclavia. Another ganglion was not found on where cervical part of truncus sympathicus in all dissections and histological examinations. DβH, TH, NPY and SP were revealed to be express in all ganglia. DβH and NPY in CCG, TH in MCG, DβH, NPY and TH in GCT were found to be more intense staining. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study was carried out in Konya Merino for the purpose of macroanatomical examination of a. celiaca and its branches. In the study, 10 Konya merinos were used. Latex injection method was applied to the materials. After the origin of the a. celiaca, the ventral origin of the abdominal aorta as the first main vessel, which a. lienalis and a. hepatica and a. gastrica sinistra were divided into two branches as common root. A. lienalis first gave rami pancreatici to pancreas. Thereafter, the vessel was found to give ramus epiploicus, a. ruminalis sinistra and a. ruminalis dextra. As a common root which A. hepatica and a. gastrica sinistra left from a.celiaca. In the porta hepatis line, a. hepatica was give off a. gastrica dextra and a. cystica, then it was continued as a. gastroduodenalis. Arteria gastrica sinistra was found to be the thickest branches of the a. celiaca and anastomosed with a. gastrica dextra in the curvatura minor region of abomasum after giving arteria reticularis, a. gastroepiploica sinistra, and a. reticularis accessoria during course. As a result, It was determined that a. celiaca was found to provide arterial vascularization of the stomach, spleen, pancreas, liver, gall bladder and initial part of duodenum. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
