Statistical shape modeling of the human inner ear through micro‐computed tomography imaging

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
In this study, 54 cadaveric temporal bone specimens underwent high‐resolution micro‐CT imaging. Images were semi‐automatically segmented and converted to 3D surface mesh models for morphological measurement and analysis. Statistical shape models were created for the inner ear, cochlea, and vestibular system, as well as for sex‐ and side‐based subgroups.

THE CORRELATION OF NECK CIRCUMFERENCE AND INSULIN RESISTANCE IN NAFLD PATIENTS [PDF]

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2019
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance, especially that induced by obesity, plays a central role in the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Although the evaluation of overweight patients is important, the nutritional assessment tools used in clinical practice have limitations.

Association Between Neck Circumference and Microalbuminuria in Community Residents

Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, 2021
Neck circumference (NC) represents the subcutaneous fat deposition in the neck and is an effective indicator for evaluating metabolic disorders, such as metabolic syndrome, subclinical atherosclerosis, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Microalbuminuria (MAU) is regarded as a potential sign of systemic endothelial dysfunction and microvascular ...

An unusual titanosaur axis from the Upper Cretaceous of Brazil and its significance for sauropod anatomy and systematics

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Upper Cretaceous São José do Rio Preto Formation (Bauru Group, southeastern Brazil) has yielded a fragmentary but taxonomically diverse record of titanosaur sauropods, although elements from cervical series remain scarce. Here, we describe a nearly complete sauropod axis from the Vila Ventura Paleontological Area, representing an uncommon ...

Neck circumference as an alternative marker of metabolic syndrome in Peruvian adults: A retrospective, cross-sectional study

Endocrine and Metabolic Science
Neck circumference is a low-cost and simple anthropometric measure that has been proven to accurately assess central obesity. However, evidence of its use and feasibility in low-resource settings is limited.

Neck circumference, along with other anthropometric indices, has an independent and additional contribution in predicting fatty liver disease.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Background and aimPrevious studies have indicated that neck circumference is a valuable predictor for obesity and metabolic syndrome, but little evidence is available for fatty liver disease.

Neck Circumference Predicts Mortality in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients

Infectious Disease Reports, 2021
We aimed to determine whether neck circumference predicts mortality among hospitalized COVID-19 patients with respiratory failure. We performed a prospective multicenter (Italy and Brasil) study carried out from March to December 2020 on 440 hospitalized

A critical reappraisal of the carotid sinus and carotid bulb: Distinguishing neurohistological function from vascular geometry

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
This review redefines the carotid bulb (CB) as a variable geometric dilation shaped by hemodynamics and the carotid sinus (CS) as a conserved neurohistological baroreceptor field. Distinguishing these entities clarifies a century of anatomical confusion and links geometry, neurohistology, and clinical interpretation within a unified framework ...

Rethinking neck circumference in STOP-BANG for Asian OSA

Proceedings of Singapore Healthcare, 2019
Introduction: The STOP-BANG questionnaire is a simple screening tool for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) which has been validated for use in Asian populations. The original cut-off values for neck circumference were defined based on Caucasian populations.
