Brachial approach isgaining importance in cardiac catheterisation because of early ambulation and discharge. Accurate knowledge of this major artery of the arm in relation to its course and particularly of their variation of branching pattern is of considerable practical importance. To study the brachial artery and its branching pattern40 upper limb specimens from 20 adult cadavers were utilized. In 5% cases brachial artery bifurcated above the intercondylar line, in 90% cases below the intercondylar line and in 5% at intercondylar line.Superficial brachial artery was present in2 cases (5%).Profundabrachii artery arose fromthe posterior circumflex humeral artery in2.5%, as abranchfrom III part of the axillary artery in 2.5% and along with Superior ulnar collateral artery as a common trunk in 5%. Profunda brachii arose as 2 separate branches in 2.5%.Superior ulnar collateral artery was arising as a common trunk with profounda brachial artery in5%, as a branch of profunda brachii in 5%. High origin of ulnar artery was observed in 5% of limbs. 5% specimens showed high origin of radial artery.
Kenacort is a well-known synthetic glucocorticoid used in today's medical practice for various therapeutic uses. The drug has been known to induce cleft palate in rodents in specific doses. This study uses triamcinolone acetonide (TAC) as a teratogen for inducing cleft palate in rat embryos. The study discusses the molecular level action of TAC on the palatal mucosa in the rat palate. This study substantiates that the TAC given during the first trimester between 29th and 38th day of gestation can induce many congenital anomalies. The study shows an animal model to depict the drug toxicity on the pregnant Wistar albino rats.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
