Investigation of anastomoses between coronary arteries in Akkaraman sheep by plastic injection and corrosion method

Since it is critical to understand the anatomy of the coronary arteries and the anastomoses between them in Akkaraman sheep, the coronary arteries will be examined using a plastic injection and corrosion technique. In our investigation, researchers used 20 Akkaraman sheep's hearts collected from slaughterhouses in and near Kayseri, and hearts from animals aged 2-3 years were included. The anatomy of the coronary arteries of the hearts was studied by plastic injection and corrosion method. The macroscopically examined patterns of the excised coronary arteries were photographed and recorded. This approach indicated arterial vascularization of the heart in sheep, with a. coronaria dextra and a. coronaria sinistra developing from the commencement of the aorta. It was determined that a. coronaria sinistra, after leaving the initial part of the aorta, proceeds to the left and divides into two branches called r. interventricularis paraconalis and r. circumflexus sinister, forming a right angle between them, immediately after reaching the sulcus coronarius. Anastomosis of the branches of r. distalis atrii dextri with the branches of r. intermedius atrii dextri and r. ventriculi dextri; anastomosis of a thin branch separated from r. proximalis atrii sinistri with the branch of r. proximalis atrii dextri running in the initial part of the aorta; anastomosis of r. distalis atrii sinistri with r. intermedius atrii sinistri were detected. In one heart, the r. septalis protruded roughly 0.2 cm from the beginning of a. coronaria sinistra

The effect of nutritional habits on bone minerals density in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis

Study Objectives: It was stated that the effect of dietary habits is of great importance in the prevention, pathogenesis, and treatment of osteoporosis. This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the effect of nutritional habits on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Methods: The research was completed with 158 women who applied to the orthopedics and traumatology outpatient clinic with the diagnosis of postmenopausal osteoporosis between October 2020 and April 2021 in a practice and research hospital in Central Anatolia. The data were collected with the DEXA result reports in the patient files and the Patient Identification Form created by the researchers by scanning the literature. Results: 94.3% of the women included in the study smoked, 98.1% did not drink alcohol, 48.1% occasionally consumed coffee, 54.4% daily 3 cups of tea, 45.6% decently consumed cereals and cereal products, 39.3% sometimes consumed milk and dairy products. 82.3% of participants do not receive vitamin D and 88% do not receive calcium support therapy. Conclusion: It was determined that smoking, tea consumption, and BMI of women did not affect bone mineral density (p>0.05). It was determined that coffee consumption, frequently consumed food type, and taking vitamin D and calcium supplements affected bone mineral density (p<0.05).No sponso

The mystery of morphometric measurements of the coxal bone

Coxal bone, which is included in the structure of the pelvic skeleton, is in close relationship with the pelvic organs and great vessels. The aim of this study is to show the harmony between morphometric measurements using the correlation technique, based on the idea that the proportional harmony in different parts of our body will also be in the coxal bone. In the study, 95 dry coxal bone belonging to the Turkish population were examined. In dry bones of adults, the distance between anterior superior iliac spine and posterior superior iliac spine (A), distance between anterior inferior iliac spine and posterior inferior iliac spine (B), distance between anterior superior iliac spine and anterior inferior iliac spine (C), distance between posterior superior iliac spine and posterior inferior iliac spine (D), symphysial surface length (E), symphysial surface width (F), ischial tuberosity width (G), ischion-pubis arm thickness (H), coxal bone length (I), distance between the symphysial surface and the most protruding part of the ischial tuberosity (J) were measured with caliper. There was no statistical difference in the comparison of different measurements made on the right and left coxal bone in our study. In correlation studies, between (B) and (A) (r: 0.566), between (I) and (A) (r: 0.595), between (J) and (A) (r: 0.600), between (E) and (J) (r: 0.563) measurements showed a positive correlation relationship. In this study, excellent agreement was found in different morphometric measurements in coxal bone. [Med-Science 2023; 12(3.000): 724-9
