Morphological variability of the leg muscles: potential pitfalls on ultrasound that await clinicians

open access: yesFolia Morphologica
BACKGROUND: Although muscles and their tendons are not considered the most morphologically variable structures, they still manifest a substantial diversity of variants.

Co-occurrence of a previously unreported double-headed accessory psoas major with an unusually positioned accessory iliacus muscle: case report

open access: yesFolia Morphologica
The iliopsoas muscle complex traditionally consists of the iliacus muscle and psoas major, occasionally including the psoas minor. These elements were distinguished based on their shared function and common distal attachment.

Spontaneous carotid artery dissection-associated medial changes in a selected autopsy population

open access: yes, 2008
Spontaneous carotid artery dissection (SCAD) is a major cause of stroke in young adults, yet its pathogenesis remains unclear. Hereditary connective tissue diseases, hormonal influences, sympathomimetic drugs or upper respiratory tract infections may ...

Enviromental factors and cervical artery dissection

open access: yes, 2005
A history of a minor precipitating event is frequently elicited in patients with a spontaneous dissection of the carotid or vertebral artery. Other precipitating events associated with hyperextension or rotation of the neck include practicing yoga ...

Should we abandon cervical spine manipulation for mechanical neck pain? : yes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Cervical spine manipulation (a high velocity, low amplitude, end range thrust manoeuvre) is a common treatment option for mechanical neck pain yet may carry the potential for serious neurovascular complications, specifically vertebral artery dissection

Never undescribed before, four-headed plantaris muscle

open access: yesFolia Morphologica
The plantaris is a small muscle of the superficial posterior compartment of the leg. It originates at the lateral supracondylar line of the femur and the knee joint capsule, from where it continues distally, forming a long and slender tendon distally ...

Mechanical dissection in an introductory engineering design module

open access: yes, 2010
The introductory design module for first year students in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde uses mechanical dissection as a focus for learning activities that seek to integrate engineering science with the prior ...

Time-lapse dissection videos: traditional practice in a new, digital format

open access: yes
This research introduces an innovative series of time-lapse dissection videos that enable accelerated observation of the dissection process. Cadaveric dissection has consistently been described in the literature as a reliable method for enhancing student

Morphological variability of the piriformis muscle

open access: yesFolia Morphologica
BACKGROUND: The aim of the study is to create several classifications of the piriformis muscle (PM): proximal and distal attachments, potential fusions, and the relationship with the sciatic nerve.

Dissection of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery in a young adult with cerebellar infarct

open access: yes, 2009
The posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) is frequently involved in dissection of the vertebral artery ( VA); however, isolated PICA dissection has rarely been reported.
