Arterial and muscular variations in the upper limb

Rutin öğrenci diseksiyonlarımızda, bir erkek kadavranın sol üst ekstremitesinde arteriyel ve müsküler varyasyonlar gözlendi. Arteria radialis'in yüzeyelde olduğu, arcus palmaris superficialis'in sadece a. ulnaris tarafından oluşturulduğu, m. palmaris longus'un yoklu- ğu ve m. extensor digiti miniminin üç adet tendona sahip olduğu tespit edildi. Varyasyonlar embriyolojik kökenli olduğundan aynı bölgede farklı yapılarda normalin dışında görünümler birliktelik gösterebilir. Bu yüzden anatomik ve klinik çalışmalarda bir varyas- yon tespit edildiğinde aynı bölgede diğer yapılarda da farklılık gözlenebileceği akılda tutulmalıdır.During our routine dissection studies we observed arterial and muscular variations in the left upper limb of an adult male cadaver. In this case we observed the superficial radial artery, the superficial palmar arch was formed by the ulnar artery along, the palmaris longus muscle was absent and the extensor digiti minimi muscle had got three tendons. Variations in the same area may be observed in different structures as the variations are embryological origin. For this reason, when a variation is detected in anatomic and clinical studies, it should be kept in mind that differences may be observed in the other structures in the same area

Relationship between thiol, disulphide volume and contrast-induced nephropathy in acute coronary syndrome patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention

Background: This study aimed to evaluate thiol disulphide volume for the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)

Evolution of seismic hazard maps in Turkey

A review on the historical evolution of seismic hazard maps in Turkey is followed by summarizing the important aspects of the updated national probabilistic seismic hazard maps. Comparisons with the predecessor probabilistic seismic hazard maps as well as the implications on the national design codes conclude the paper
