Anatomical observation of a craniomandibular muscle originating from the skull base: the sphenomandibularis.

This study describes a hitherto unreported, functionally distinct craniomandibular muscle as observed in 25 cadaveric specimens and MRI scans of clinical patients. The muscle was consistently observed as originating from the maxillary surface of the sphenoid bone and inserting on the temporal crest (internal oblique line) of the mandible. This anatomic observation should broaden our understanding of craniomandibular function and may have clinical implications regarding retro-orbital pain.

Processing bone marrow with a semiautomated cell processor for pediatric transplants: a comparison of two buffy coat preparation methods.

Thirty-one marrows were harvested from 29 patients and donors in the first year after startup of a six-bed pediatric bone marrow transplant unit at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago. Twenty-seven patients were infused, 13 with allogeneic marrow. Eight of the 14 autologous marrows were purged with 4HC. This paper presents cell processing results from the first year of operation, describes a yield-enhancing change made to the buffy coat procedure, and shows which of various parameters significantly influenced final cell recoveries.
