These results suggest that utilizing digitalized reference values for a given body region may be an invaluable tool for determination of the correct fat volume, thus individualization of body contouring procedures. With the help of certain software, this research has shown that it is possible to measure the parameters of buttock, which may in turn be used to offer the best solution for any individual in quest for an improved buttocks form. New ideal waist-to-hip ratios of 0.7 update the previous standards.
Compression of the femoral nerve (FN) to the iliac fossa has been reported as a consequence of several pathologies as well as due to the aberrant muscles. The purpose of this research was to investigate the patterns of the accessory muscles of iliopsoas muscles and the relationship of the FN in fifty semi pelvis. Accessory muscular slips from iliacus and psoas, piercing or covering the FN, were found in 19 specimens (7.9%). Based on the macroscopic structure, the muscle was categorized into two types. Pattern 1 as the more frequent variation, was sheet muscular type covering the FN (17 specimens, 89.5%). Pattern 2, the less frequent variation was found on a muscular slip covering the FN (2 specimens, 10.5%). Iliac and psoas muscles and their variants on both types were defined. Appraising the relation between the muscle and the nerves, each disposition of the patterns may be a potential risk for nerve entrapment. The knowledge about the possible variations of the iliopsoas muscle complex and the FN may also give surgeons confidence during pelvic surgery. Recognition of these variations in normal anatomy may be useful to the clinicians when treating patients with refractory leg pain.
His lifeGabriele Falloppio, one of the most precious anatomists of the sixteenth century, was born in 1523 in Modena, Italy, with the better-known Latin name "Fallopius" (Fig. 1).His father, Geronimo Falloppio, died of syphilis when Gabriele Falloppio was only 10 years old. Falloppio, who was in financial difficulty following his father's death, joined the clergy at the church and became a priest at the age of 19 [1][2][3].Later, as his financial position improved, he began studying medicine in Modena under the direction of Niccolo Machella. Meanwhile, he performed dissections on the cadavers of executed criminals [3,4]. As a result, he moved to Ferrara due to study medicine at the University of Ferrara, which is regarded as one of the best medical schools in Europe.He graduated in 1548 after studying under the supervision of the expert doctor and botanist Antonio Brassavola [5]. At the age of 25, he was honored as a head of anatomy at the University of Pisa by Cosimo de Medici, Duke of Florence, and maintained that position until 1551. During his time in Pisa, he specialized not only in anatomy but also in chemistry and botany [3,5]. It is also known that Falloppio also performed vivisection during these years [3].In 1551, he was honored by the Venetian Senate as professor of Anatomy, Surgery and Botany at the University of Padua. He remained in this position for the rest of his life. His superior dissection abilities and powers of observation contributed to his career as an anatomist. Falloppio, a wellknown physician, was the doctor of numerous aristocratic figures, including the pope's brother [1].Falloppio died in Padua on October 9, 1563, at the age of 40. The cause of his death was probably tuberculosis [1,3]. Career and achievementsIn 1561, Falloppio published his book Observationes Anatomicae in Venice (Fig. 2 and Cover). This was the only book that was published during his lifetime. This publication, which did not include any illustrations or figures, had
Objective: This study examines the effect of the lower limb misalignment and its possible compensatory effect on plantar pressure in a normal population. The aim of this paper is to present a structured method for the analysis of posture and its changes using a standardized digital photography technique and plantar pressure measuring device. Design: Cohort. Setting: Laboratory. Participants: A total of 200 adult volunteers between 18 and 22 years of age who had no current symptoms of pain and foot or ankle pathology participated in the study. Main Outcome Measures: The gold standard measure of lower limb alignment with weight-bearing status is the mechanical axis and their angles using Image J software. Structural and functional measurements of the same foot were taken using a plantar pressure measuring device. In this study, 5 alignment (thigh, knee, leg, ankle, and foot) characteristics were measured on the lower limb using the 2 techniques, and, additionally, the foot contact area, peak pressure, foot axis, rearfoot angle, and subtalar joint flexibility score were analyzed in 10 different regions of the foot. Results: This study has shown a reasonable correlation between digitalized measurements and plantar pressures values. Quadriceps angle affected midfoot impulse, foot axis angle, subtalar joint minimum angle, and rearfoot angle positively. Subtalar joint flexibility scores were analyzed in 10 different regions of the foot. There was a positive correlation between rearfoot angle and quadriceps angle (P = .009, r = .261). Results of both methods show that they endorse each other. Conclusions: The posture of the standing feet may have influence on lower limb alignment. Currently, there are no studies carried out by using digital photogrammetry and foot scan. The authors claim that patient-friendly digital photogrammetry would have a positive contribution to the monitoring of patients, even including new ones in the treatment programs, reducing any possible loss in the personal and national economy.
