Background and Aim: Palmar arterial supply is mainly provided by the superficial palmar arch (SPA). Ulnar artery primarily completes the arterial arcade of the superficial palmar arch. Radial artery grafts and reconstructive hand surgery benefit from understanding the variations in SPA formation. The present study is aimed to analyze the vascular pattern of the superficial palmar arch. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Bacha Khan Medical Complex Mardan and Multan Medical & Dental College, Multan from October 2019 to September 2022 on 60 specimens, 46 male and 14 females. Due to inconvenient sampling, all cadaveric hands studied during the three years in the dissection room of the anatomy department were not calculated. An incision was made along the root of the fingers and another at the wrist joint. The 3rd metacarpo-phalangeal joint was incised vertically from the middle of the wrist. Reflection of the skin and aponeurosis of the palm was done. An area of adipose tissue around the superficial palmar arch was removed to observe the arches and their branches. Variations were noted in the superficial palmar arches.
Background: Different pathological conditions are associated with the anatomical variations in glenoid cavity. For getting insights into these variations the anthropometric parameters knowledge is highly required. Objective: The purpose of the study was the determination of the anthropometric relationship present between the left and right side of the glenoid cavity of the scapula and the application of the obtained knowledge in the forensic medicine. Place and Duration: In the department of anatomy, Multan Medical and Dental College and Bacha Khan Medical Complex Swabi for six months duration, from January 2021 to June 2021. Material and Methods: The data of 190 patients included in the study, was collected from the anatomy department of our institute. The sample was withdrawn from the non-deformed and well macerated scapulae bone of the 190 patients. The calibrated sliding digital caliper was used to measure the anthropometric parameters of glenoid cavity. The glenoid height, width and index were calculated by SPSS software. Results: The 34.8±4.0 (R=38 ± 4.98 and L=27.9-46.78) and 24.9 ±3.90 (R=27.2 ± 3.43 and L=20.1- 36) was the calculated mean standard deviation of Maximum glenoid height (MGH) and Maximum glenoid width (MGW) respectively. The statistically significant and greater values of MGH and MGW on the right side were obtained by using ANOVA and t-test. While calculated values of glenoid Index (GI) was smaller on the right side as compared to the left. Conclusion: The kinanthropological applications of the scapula are indicated by the study that which side can be more commonly used. This study provides with in-depth knowledge of biological profiling and develops better understanding required during reconstruction of the damaged skeleton. Keywords: Glenoid cavity, Maximum glenoid height (MGH), Maximum glenoid width (MGW).
Aim: Study was conducted to examine the different parameters of human thymus glands of young and old patients and compare the findings between both age groups. Study Design: Comparative/observational study Place and Study: Study was conducted at Anatomy department of Nishtar Medical University Hospital, Multan for duration of six months from 15th January 2020 to 15th July 2020. Methods: Total 54 specimens of human thymus of 54 patients were enrolled in this study. All specimens were divided in to two groups I and II, Group I contains 27 patients with ages <30 years and group II with 27 patients having ages 45 to 60 years. All specimens were fixed in 10% formalin solution and then processed for paraffin embedding. Compare the different parameters such as thickness of interlobular connective tissue and thymic capsule, length and number of Hassal’s corpuscles between both groups. Data was analyzed by SPSS 24.0. Results: In group I 12 (44.44%) patients were ages <15 years and 15 (55.56%) patients were ages >15 years. In group 13 (48.15%) and 14 (51.85%) patients were ages <50 years and >50 years. There was a significant difference observed between both groups regarding thickness of interlobular connective tissue and thymic capsule, quantity and length of Hassal’s corpuscles with p-value <0.05. Conclusion: It is to be concluded that patients with young age had significantly less thickness of thymic capsule and interlobular connective tissue with more in number and decreasing size of Hassal’s corpuscles as compared to old age patients. Keywords: Human Thymus Glands, Young Age, Old Age
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
