The Prevalence of Accessory Sutures and Wormian Bones in a Contemporary Cohort of Dutch Children The prevalence of accessory sutures and wormian bones in a contemporary cohort of Dutch children. Gisela de Heus, 11414901 MSc in Forensic Science, University of Amsterdam Supervisors: Prof. Dr. R.R. van Rijn Amsterdam University Medical Centres UMC, Department of Radiology K.L. Colman Amsterdam University Medical Centres UMC, Department of Anatomy, Embryology and Physiology H.H. de Boer Amsterdam University Medical Centres UMC, Department of Pathology, NFI Department of Medical Forensic Research Examiner: 36 European Credits Prof. Dr. R.J. Oostra Amsterdam University Medical April 2018 – October 2018 Centres UMC, Department of Medical Biology Date of submission: 19-10-2018 Abstract Child abuse is a widely prevalent problem in the Western world. It is estimated that 118.000 to 180.000 children are abused in the Netherlands annually, of which physical abuse constitutes almost 18% of all abusive cases, with Abusive Head Trauma (AHT) being categorised as a severe form. In child abuse cases, skull fractures are a strong indication of AHT. However, the presence of accessory sutures and Wormian bones, sometimes lead to erroneous conclusions. This is because accessory sutures sometimes present similar morphologically characteristics on radiographs as fractures. Knowledge on the prevalence of accessory sutures and Wormian bones would help in preventing erroneous conclusions, however all current knowledge is based on dry skull collections mostly on adult skulls. Accessory sutures may not persist into adulthood together with the fact that modern population experienced secular changes makes these collections not representative for the modern Dutch children population. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of accessory sutures and Wormian bones in a contemporary cohort of Dutch children below the age of 6. For this research, 532 cranial CT scans of children below the age of 6 were selected from a PACS system (AGFA Impax 6.6.1. 4024, Agfa Healthcare, Mortsel, Belgium. Volume Rendering Technique (VRT) of the program Syngo.via was used to create 3D reconstructions of the CT scans. The scans were retrospectively reviewed by two observers, one of which an experienced paediatric radiologist. The presence of various accessory sutures and Wormian bones were scored and evaluated using 3D reconstructions of CT scans. The mean age of the cases was 28.47 months (range 0.033 to 72 months) for males and 22.57 (rang 0.066-72 months) for females. The results from this study showed that accessory sutures were present in 34.3% of the cases. Of these accessory sutures, the metopic and mendosal suture were seen most frequently with 29.9% and 23.9% respectively. Other accessory sutures that were found including the intraparietal horizontal suture, intraparietal vertical suture, obelion suture and an occipital unossified midline were seen less frequently with 7.2%, 3.8%, 2.2% and 0.9% respectively. None of the accessory sutures showed sexual preference. Most accessory sutures were found in the lower age groups and particularly the prevalence of the metopic and mendosal suture showed a decrease with age. Wormian bones were found in 78% of the cases, with the most frequent location being the lambdoid suture with 64.2%. Only the parietal notch showed a significant difference between female and male (p=0.024). Knowledge about the existence, prevalence and topographical location of various accessory sutures and wormian bones will aid in the ability to make correct diagnosis and thereby increase the evidential value of the diagnosis in cases of abuse. However, because of several limitations of this study the results have to be interpreted and used with care.

Introduction Child abuse is a worldwide problem and the prevalence in the Netherlands is approximately between 118.000 and 180.000 cases a year 1–3. However, abuse is often not detected because of lack of symptoms or is not reported by the physician. Therefore the actual prevalence is expected to be even higher1. Physical abuse constitutes almost 18% of all abusive cases of which Abusive Head Trauma (AHT) is a severe form often characterized by cranial fractures 2–4. However, a

Their incidence varies among different populations and they constitute an anthropo- logical marker. Precise mechanism of formation is unknown and being under the control of genetic background and environmental factors. The aim of the current study is to investigate the incidence of WBs presence, number and topographical distribution according to gender and side in Greek adult dry skulls. Materials and methods: All sutures and fontanelles of 166 Greek adult dry skulls were examined for the presence, topography and number of WBs. One hundred and nineteen intact and 47 horizontally craniotomised skulls were examined for WBs presence on either side of the cranium, both exocranially and intracranially. Results: One hundred and twenty-four (74.7%) skulls had WBs.

    Rhoton Yoshioka Atlas of the Facial Nerve Unique Atlas Opens Window and Related Structures Into Facial Nerve Anatomy… Atlas of the Facial Nerve and Related Structures and Related Nerve Facial of the Atlas “His meticulous methods of anatomical dissection and microsurgical techniques helped transform the primitive specialty of neurosurgery into the magnificent surgical discipline that it is today.”— Nobutaka Yoshioka American Association of Neurological Surgeons. Albert L. Rhoton, Jr. Nobutaka Yoshioka, MD, PhD and Albert L. Rhoton, Jr., MD have created an anatomical atlas of astounding precision. An unparalleled teaching tool, this atlas opens a unique window into the anatomical intricacies of complex facial nerves and related structures. An internationally renowned author, educator, brain anatomist, and neurosurgeon, Dr. Rhoton is regarded by colleagues as one of the fathers of modern microscopic neurosurgery. Dr. Yoshioka, an esteemed craniofacial reconstructive surgeon in Japan, mastered this precise dissection technique while undertaking a fellowship at Dr. Rhoton’s microanatomy lab, writing in the preface that within such precision images lies potential for surgical innovation. Special Features • Exquisite color photographs, prepared from carefully dissected latex injected cadavers, reveal anatomy layer by layer with remarkable detail and clarity • An added highlight, 3-D versions of these extraordinary images, are available online in the Thieme MediaCenter • Major sections include intracranial region and skull, upper facial and midfacial region, and lower facial and posterolateral neck region Organized by region, each layered dissection elucidates specific nerves and structures with pinpoint accuracy, providing the clinician with in-depth anatomical insights. Precise clinical explanations accompany each photograph. In tandem, the images and text provide an excellent foundation for understanding the nerves and structures impacted by neurosurgical-related pathologies as well as other conditions and injuries.

    Nowinski and Thaung Brain Inf. (2018) 5:1 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40708-018-0082-1 Brain Informatics ORIGINAL RESEARCH Open Access A 3D stereotactic atlas of the adult human skull base Wieslaw L. Nowinski1,2* and Thant S. L. Thaung3 Abstract Background: The skull base region is anatomically complex and poses surgical challenges. Although many textbooks describe this region illustrated well with drawings, scans and photographs, a complete, 3D, electronic, interactive, real- istic, fully segmented and labeled, and stereotactic atlas of the skull base has not yet been built. Our goal is to create a 3D electronic atlas of the adult human skull base along with interactive tools for structure manipulation, exploration, and quantifcation. Methods: Multiple in vivo 3/7 T MRI and high-resolution CT scans of the same normal, male head specimen have been acquired. From the scans, by employing dedicated tools and modeling techniques, 3D digital virtual models of the skull, brain, cranial nerves, intra- and extracranial vasculature have earlier been constructed. Integrating these models and developing a browser with dedicated interaction, the skull base atlas has been built. Results: This is the frst, to our best knowledge, truly 3D atlas of the adult human skull base that has been created, which includes a fully parcellated and labeled brain, skull, cranial nerves, and intra- and extracranial vasculature. Conclusion: This atlas is a useful aid in understanding and teaching spatial relationships of the skull base anatomy, a helpful tool to generate teaching materials, and a component of any skull base surgical simulator.

Annasaheb Dange Ayurved Medical College, Ashta. Tal- Walwa, Dist- Sangli, Maharashtra, India ABSTRACT Ayurveda gives new Idea about human being in case of Anatomy, Physiology & other subjects also. Ayurvedokth Rachana Sharir describes about various terminology. In fifth chapter of Sharirsthan Susrut described various parts of the body. Not only various parts of the body, but also number of these parts or organs, is nicely given in this Sharir sankhya vyakarana sharir Ad- hayaya. Anaga, Pratnyaga, Twacha, Kala, Sira, Snayu, Dhamani are described with its numbers & distribution of them. Sivani is the one of structure present in the body. There is Sapta-Sevani present in the body. Structure of Sevani & also importance of it is given by Ayurveda. Though Sevani is mentioned in one sloka, but it has very much important.Its importance is given by comparative study with modern Science. Division of the skull is done by these sevani, as given in modern science. Sevani word gives two references. First is a sapt Shivayna available for the sevani & second in case of sandhi sharir. There is confusion regarding various terms as sevani or simant. With the help of this article I am trying to clarify these concepts with the help of mod- ern science. Keywords: Sevani, Septasevani, Sivani, Tunnasevani,Sutures INTRODUCTION We know that structural & functional science, these structures we can easily corre- unit of the body is cell.
