“…This traditional view of fascia has now been surpassed. The most up to date definition describes fascia as a sheath, a sheet or any number of dissectible aggregations of connective tissue that forms beneath the skin [28]. However, this definition is too simplistic, and it is the definition of the fascial system that highlights the importance of fascia in biomechanical regulation: "The fascial system consists of the three-dimensional continuum of soft, collagen containing loose and dense fibrous connective tissues that permeate the body.…”

“…The fascial system surrounds, interweaves between, and interpenetrates all organs, muscles, bones and nerve fibres, endowing the body with a functional structure, and providing an environment that enables all body systems to operate in an integrated manner." Adstrum et al [29], Stecco et al [30] in Adstrum and Nicholson [28] Fascia is multi-layered and has both loose and hard fibrous connective tissue components. Loose fascia functions to help slide and glide between structures and dense fascia exerts a tensile strength in tissues like tendons.…”

Humans exhibit biotensegrity, whereby the whole body is a three-dimensional visco-elastic vehicle whatever position it adopts: bones form non-contact compression struts embedded in a networked and tensioned myofascial matrix; each part of the organism combines with the mechanical system to create an integrated functional movement unit and contributes to the stability of the whole system. When tissue at/below the dermis is breached by surgery/injury, healing leads to scar tissue formation. Scars can cause local and distant effects that are not purely cutaneous. Restriction of normal movement of underlying tissues from defective fascial sliding generates anomalous tension that affects the fascial continuum leading to distorted biomechanics, altered biotensegrity and chronic pain. Scars are common in children and significant contributors to chronic pain presentations. Scars can be released (soft tissue mobilization and/or needling) to sustainably improve pain, flexibility and range of motion. This chapter outlines the importance of skin and fascia in the biotensegrity model. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental need to assess scar history and scar characteristics to determine if scars should be treated as a component of multidisciplinary chronic pain management. Case studies outline some key clinical observations. Appropriately controlled research studies are required to fully demonstrate the highlighted benefits.

“…У життєдіяльності організму важливе значення мають сполучнотканинні утворення, які розглядаються як гнучкий м'який остов тіла людини. Термін «м'який остов» уперше запропонований хірургом І. П. Матюшенковим ще в позаминулому столітті в зв'язку з накопиченням анатомічних знань про сполучнотканинні структури, що відносяться до опорно-рухового апарату [1]. В м'якому остові подані формації з пухкої та щільної сполучної тканини.…”

The development of rational accesses and methods of surgical interventions to the chest walls, muscles and vascular-nerve formations of the chest involves clarifying data on the topography of fascia, superficial and deep muscles of the chest at different stages of human ontogenesis. The purpose of the study. Identification of macromicroscopic structure and topography of fascia and chest muscles in 4-6-month human fetuses. Materials and methods. The study was performed using microscopy of a series of consecutive histological sections of 29 human embryos of 81.0-230.0 mm parietal-coccygeal length, production of three-dimensional reconstruction models and morphometry. Results and discussion. In some early fetuses, and in isolated cases in the same fetus, there is anatomical variability of the pectoralis major muscle, characterized by asymmetry of shape, size and topography of individual parts of the right and left pectoralis major muscles. The underdevelopment of the individual muscle bundles of the sternocostal part of the pectoralis major muscle, hypoplasia of the internal intervertebral muscles, aplasia of the external intercostal membrane, internal intercostal and subcostal muscles, transverse muscles of the chest is described. Conclusion. In human fetuses of 4-6 months old there is anatomical variability of the chest muscles, characterized by bilateral asymmetry, variability of shape, size and topography of both their individual parts and muscle as a whole. In early human fetuses, thoracic fascia is a rather thin structural plate, in the structure of which there is no layering. Intervertebral spaces at the level of rib cartilage are filled with internal intervertebral muscles, the fibers of which near the edges of the thorax have a vertical direction, and from the point of connection of the rib cartilage to the thorax – oblique. In the gap between the external and internal intervertebral muscles of fascia as such is not manifested, but only a small layer of loose fiber is determined, in which the vascular-nerve bundles pass. In the fetuses of 6 months, the endothorаcic fascia on the posterior wall of the chest is somewhat thickened, split into separate plates and forms fascial cases for vascular-nerve formations located near the spinal column

“…The branches of nerves, arteries, lymph vessels and glands as well as bundles of fibrous tissues were accurately reproduced in his drawings. These served to define the detailed topography of an area [1]. The result of these experiments was published, in black and white, in an extensively illustrated atlas of arte-rial trunks and fascia first in German in 1837, in 1838 in Latin [58] and in 1840 in Russian.…”

This article is the first part of two articles on Nikolay Ivanovich Pirogov. In this article we will discuss how Pirogov developed in his early professional career his unique scientific attitude toward medical problems. He extended this scientific view already before his appointment as Professor of Applied Anatomy and Hospital Surgery at the Medical-Surgical Academy and chief surgeon of the Second Military Landforce Hospital (with 1000 beds) in 1841. After his resignation as Professor in 1860 and during his retirement he used his views and skills towards the management of mass casualties during wars or others, which eventually developed into the International Red Cross.In the second article "Nikolay Ivanovich Pirogov as an innovator in anatomy, surgery, and anaesthesiology." we will highlight his professional career as an anatomist, surgeon and anaesthesiologist. The authors of these two parts want to emphasize that these two articles are an extract from previously published extensive articles related to Nikolay Ivanovich Pirogov. You can find these articles in the reference list under the name of the first author [20][21][22][23][24][25].
