Arterial, neural and muscular variations in the upper limb.

During our routine dissection studies we observed arterial, neural and muscular variations in the upper limbs of an adult male cadaver. In this case we observed the superficial brachial artery origination from the third part of the axillary artery, communications between the musculocutaneous and median nerves, variant formation of the brachial plexus, origination of the profunda brachii artery from the posterior circumflex humeral artery and supernumerary tendons of the abductor pollicis longus muscle. We think that such variations should be kept in mind during surgical and diagnostic procedures.

Bilateral abductor pollicis longus muscle variation. Case report and review of the literature.

An abnormal abductor pollicis longus muscle was encountered bilaterally during the dissection of the upper limb of a 26-year-old male cadaver. In the left side, the abductor pollicis longus had seven tendon slips. The medial two inserted into the abductor pollicis brevis, the other five inserted into the base of the first metacarpal bone. In the right side of the case, the abductor pollicis longus was consisted of three bellies. The lateral belly's tendon was the main abductor pollicis longus tendon and inserted into the base of the first metacarpal bone. The medial belly inserted into the abductor pollicis brevis. Between these muscle bellies, there was an intermediate belly. Its tendon was split into two thin slips and inserted into both the abductor pollicis brevis and the opponens pollicis muscles. The number of such accessory tendons has a functional significance in the development of de Quervain's stenosing tendovaginitis and possibly also has a practical significance. This paper is the first to describe seven tendons of the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis in the same compartment.

High origin of the radial artery accompanied by muscular and neural anomalies.

A high origin of the radial artery accompanied by muscular and neural abnormalities (three-headed biceps brachii, absence of the palmaris longus muscle, and communication between median and musculocutaneous nerves) were encountered during the dissection of a 25-year-old male cadaver. Co-existence of these variations has not, to our knowledge, been reported in the available literature.

A variant of the Cannieu-Riche communication: case report.

A variant of Cannieu-Riche communication was encountered during the dissection studies. The communication was between the digital branch to the index finger and branch to the adductor pollicis muscle. Terminal communications between motor nerves may provide muscles with double motor innervation, and are important for the motor innervation of the hand, in particular the thenar muscles. This variant should be kept in mind during surgical operations, electrophysiological examinations of the hand.

A case with multiple anomalies in the upper limb.

During routine educational dissection studies, we encountered multiple nervous and arterial anomalies in a 60-year-old embalmed male cadaver. The arterial anomalies were observed on the right side. The superficial brachial artery originated from the axillary artery under the pectoralis minor muscle. There was an arch between the superficial brachial and brachial arteries in the cubital fossa. Additionally, a communication was observed between the musculocutaneous and median nerves. Moreover, the coracobrachialis muscle was innervated by an accessory nerve branch originating from the lateral cord of the brachial plexus. All of the nervous anomalies were on the left side. A combination of these variations in the same case has not, to our knowledge, been previously described in the available literature.

Exercise training and axonal regeneration after sciatic nerve injury.

In the present study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between exercise training and peripheral nerve regeneration after crush injury. For this purpose, HRP neurohistochemistry and modified Pal-Weigert methods were used to assess the axonal regeneration. In the 2nd and 3rd regeneration week groups, myelin debris was observed, and there was no significant difference between exercise trained and sedentary groups. In the 4th regeneration week group, it was seen that myelin debris was removed, and some myelinated fibers were observed in the exercise trained group. On the other hand, there was no myelinated fiber in the sedentary group, and there was a significant difference between exercise trained and sedentary groups. Consequently, we think that exercise is effective in the 4th regeneration week.

A case with subclavius posticus muscle.

During routine dissection studies, we encountered an aberrant muscle in the neck region of a 50 year-old female cadaver. The accessory muscle was on the left side. It arose from the superior angle of the scapula and lay over the brachial plexus and brachial artery then inserted to the first rib's cartilage. According to its origin and insertion, the aberrant muscle was considered to be the subclavius posticus. The accessory muscle was innervated by a branch coming from the suprascapular nerve.

The importance of the anatomy of the splenic artery and its branches in splenic artery embolisation.

Splenic artery embolisation can be performed preoperatively in an attempt to decrease thrombocyte destruction, or as an alternative to surgery, to obtain partial or total organ ablation. During this procedure, it is very important to deliver embolising agents distal to the origin to pancreatic branches to avoid the risk of pancreatitis. Therefore, a detailed knowledge of the anatomy of the splenic artery and its branches is required to achieve safe embolisation. The purpose of our study is to measure the average distance between the origin of the last pancreatic branch and the splenic hilum in digital angiograms and cadaver specimens.
