Iodine concentration was studied in Polish consumer milk. The milk originated from 13 provincial cities and 65 dairy cooperatives located in Poland...

A study of the variations of the course and branching pattern of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel were carried out on 60 wrists from 30 fresh cadavers autopsied in the Department of Forensic Medicine of Jagiellonian University Medical College...

Traditional anatomy describes each kidney as being irrigated by a single renal artery. However, current literature reports great variability in the pattern of renal irrigation. It should be emphasised that the number of renal arteries is the most frequently occurring variation; some people have presented from 2 to 4 additional ...

Both Hyrtl [5] and Sharpey et al. [13] have referred to Davy’s description of the occasional intraluminal septation of the basilar artery. However, the “occasional” presence of such partitions was not defined. Lang [7]...

The lateral circumflex femoral artery (LCFA) is commonly a branch of the deep femoral artery (DFA) or sometimes of the femoral artery (FA) and passes between divisions of the femoral nerve posterior to the sartorius and rectus femoris muscles. After passing behind these structures, it divides into its ascending, transverse and descending branches...

The concept of the study was to find the correlation between the morphometry of the suprascapular notch and basic anthropometric measurements of the human scapula.   The measurements of the human scapulae included: morphological length and width, maximal width and length projection of scapular spine, length of acromion, and maximal length of the coracoid process...

The biceps brachii (BB) is as one of the most variable muscles in the human body in terms of number and morphology of its heads. The most frequent variation is the presence of a third head, which has been reported by several authors in different populations. Our aim was to find the occurrence of the supernumerary head of BB in Turkish foetuses. Out of the 24 upper limbs of the foetuses, two (8.33%) arms were found to have a three-headed BB...

Vascular variations regarding the branching pattern of the aorta are important in different laparoscopic surgeries, liver and kidney transplantation, oncologic resections, and various interventional radiological procedures in the abdominal region...

The venous anatomy of the lower limb is highly variable and these variations have immense clinical significance particularly in cases of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The femoral vein (FV) throughout its course is normally accompanied by the femoral artery (FA). In the lower part of the adductor canal, the FV lies posterolateral to the FA; while, in the upper part of the canal and in the lower part of the femoral triangle (FT), it is posterior to the FA and immediately below the inguinal ligament, it comes to lie medial to the FA...
