Possible anatomical base of snoring.

Variations of the medial and inferior choanal limits may facilitate snoring. These are: 1) short vomer without crista choanalis vomeris and adaptational formations, 2) extremely concave posterior margin of the hard palate leading to disproportion between the muscular and aponeurotic part of m. tensor veli palatini and hence to a flabby soft palate especially during sleep, and 3) neonatal relation of the height and width of the choane resulting in a very large choanal region instead of relative reduction of choanal width compared to its increasing height. All these variations result in a flabby soft palate especially during sleep and may lead to formation of whirles of inspired air and snoring.

New bone formation in autologous membranous bone transplanted into the anterior abdominal wall.

During a gross anatomy dissection, a piece of the calvarial bone was found between aponeuroses of the anterior abdominal wall in an 82-year-old male cadaver. It corresponded closely in size to the calvarial defect after the neurosurgery performed 5 years before death, showing that very little resorption had occurred over the years. Moreover, 13 percent of the transplant was new bone, indicating that membranous bone can, in the long term, induce new bone formation in humans.
