Objective: Linea aspera, which is in the form of an irregularly thick ridge with a longitudinal course on the femur, is an important origin and intertio point for the muscles of the region. The main function of linea aspera is to stabilize and support the femur while walking and running. Moreover, it prevents bending of the femur against stresses and loads. The anatomy of the linea aspera is important for various surgical procedures. The aim of this study is to assist in orthopedic interventions and radiological examinations by demonstrating the diversity of these anatomical structures and their osteometric measurements. Material and Method: In this study; the length of the linea aspera, the distance between the endpoints of the extensions separated from the linea aspera and the length of 42 dry femurs were measured using a measuring board and calibrated standard caliper. Results: Of the 42 dry bones measured, 22 (52.3%) of them were right femur and 20 (47.6%) of them were left. The distance between the separation point and the endpoint of the three extensions of the linea aspera was found to be significantly related. Conclusion: Linea aspera should not be ignored in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases caused by adjacent muscles, tendons and neurovascular structures. For this reason, we believe that knowing the morphological features of linea aspera will help clinicians. In addition, no other study examining the three proximal extensions of linea aspera has been found in the literature, and more comprehensive studies are needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: In our study, we applied a questionnaire to faculty members working in internal and surgical medicine branches and research assistants to determine the level of their anatomy training and the need of anatomy in their clinical studies by applying a questionnaire. In addition, we aimed to determine the post-graduation perspective on anatomy education given before graduation by taking their opinions on the importance of cadaver in anatomy and the anatomy knowledge levels of interns and students practising in their clinics, and to contribute to medical education with this evaluation. Material and Method: This study was conducted by applying a questionnaire consisting of 18 questions to 150 clinicians (46.7% research assistants and 53.3% faculty members; 41.4% surgical and 58.6% internal branches) working actively at Firat University Medical Faculty Hospital. Results: Clinicians reported that anatomy was the basis of medical education, that and cadaver was still indispensable in anatomy education, and that there should be field-based anatomy education in specialization education. Conclusion: We think that more cadavers should be provided to medical faculties in order to train a qualified physician. In addition, we believe that it would be beneficial to add anatomy rotations to specialty training in order to make anatomy knowledge up-to-date and more permanent in surgical branches.

Objective: It has been reported that ABO blood groups are associated with various pathological conditions such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, some cancers, and cardiovascular diseases. In healthy individuals in society second to fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) is generally low in men and high in women. It may be possible to identify high-risk groups of various diseases using the 2D:4D ratio. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship of 2D:4D ratio with ABO and Rh blood groups. Methods: A total of 1000 people, 500 women and 500 men, who did not have any chronic diseases and did not have any pathology or surgical procedures on their hand were included in the study. From their hands 2D and 4D lengths were measured and the 2D:4D ratio was calculated. Results: It is found that in women; while the 2D:4D ratio is <0.98 in A Rh(+), O Rh(+), O Rh(-) and AB Rh(-) blood groups, this ratio is >0.98 in other blood groups, as is common among women. In men; while the 2D:4D ratio was found to be >0.98 in individuals with AB Rh (-) blood group, the 2D:4D ratio was <0.98 in other blood groups, as is common among men. Conclusion: It is found that, the 2D:4D ratio of women with A Rh(+), O Rh(+), O Rh(-) and AB Rh(-) blood groups and men with AB Rh(-) blood groups is different from the 2D:4D ratio of most individuals in populations. These individuals may be at greater risk for diseases and measures to protect against diseases can be taken from birth for them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: During the Covid-19 pandemic period, a questionnaire was applied to the students who took anatomy courses through distance education in the Faculties of Medicine and Dentistry. With this questionnaire; it was aimed to learn whether the infrastructure of Fırat University is sufficient and ready for the distance education system, the adequacy of the anatomy theoretical and practical courses, how much of the anatomy lessons the students want to take face-to-face and how much of them as distance education if they return to the normal education process after the pandemic. Methods: In this study, a questionnaire consisting of 35 questions was applied to 555 term 1, 2 and 3 students who were studying at Fırat University Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Dentistry. Results: The opinion that Fırat University was successful in implementing the distance education system and that distance education offered the opportunity to listen to the lessons repeatedly at any time and place was widely accepted among the students. In addition, it has been determined as a common opinion that anatomy lessons given via distance education matches face-to-face education in terms of duration, content and efficiency. Despite all these advantages, the lack of face-to-face interaction and memorability were reported as the negative aspects of distance education. It was emphasized by the students that anatomy practical lessons and especially cadaver education should be carried out face to face. Conclusion: Anatomy education is very important in acquiring and developing professional skills. We believe that anatomy education given through distance education will be insufficient to provide this acquirement. The high demand for face-to-face practical lessons by students also supports this. We believe that it would be more beneficial to conduct face-to-face anatomy practical training in distance education, which is thought to be a part of the education system in the future.
