Preface to the 5th Edition (2005) In accordance with the decisions of the International Committee on Veterinary Gross Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.G.A.N.; General assemblies 1999 in Lyon, France, and 2003 in Knoxville, TN, U.S.A.), this new edition of the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (N.A.V.) will not be produced in a printed form. The 5th edition is published in the world wide web at the website of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.). This is intended to allow a better and less expensive distribution worldwide – and to enhance the use of the N.A.V. This 5th edition of the N.A.V. is in several ways a continuation of the work which was guided for many years by Professor J. Frewein of Zurich, Switzerland, and by Professor R. E. Habel of Ithaka, NY, U.S.A. Both of them served the I.C.V.G.A.N. as chairmen and as members of the editorial committee. Together with other colleagues (see Introduction), Joseph Frewein and Robert Habel elaborated and further developed the principles and criteria of the I.C.V.G.A.N., thus creating the solid basis for a veterinary anatomical nomenclature which has received world wide acceptance. The death of our most honoured colleague Professor J. Frewein in 2003 was a major loss for the veterinary anatomical profession and has deeply saddened the countless colleagues from all over the world whom he has inspired. The 5th edition of the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria is respectfully dedicated to Professor Joseph Frewein and to Professor Robert E. Habel Joseph Frewein Robert E. Habel in appreciation and gratitude for the many years of expert work of these outstanding veterinary anatomists. ______________________________________________________________________________iii NOMINA ANATOMICA VETERINARIA (2012) PREFACE International Committee on Veterinary Gross Anatomical Nomenclature Chairmen and members of the Subcommittees of I.C.V.G.A.N.

Hygino Muzzi Filho, 737, Marília, São Paulo 14525-900, Brazil Int Arch Otorhinolaryngol 2014;18:68–76. (e-mail: [email protected]). Abstract Introduction Branchio-oto-renal (BOR) syndrome is an autosomal-dominant genetic condition with high penetrance and variable expressivity, with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 40,000. Approximately 40% of the patients with the syndrome have mutations in the gene EYA1, located at chromosomal region 8q13.3, and 5% have mutations in the gene SIX5 in chromosome region 19q13. The phenotype of this syndrome is character- ized by preauricular fistulas; structural malformations of the external, middle, and inner ears; branchial fistulas; renal disorders; cleft palate; and variable type and degree of hearing loss. Aim Hearing loss is part of BOR syndrome phenotype. The aim of this study was to present a literature review on the anatomical aspects and audiological profile of BOR syndrome. Keywords Data Synthesis Thirty-four studies were selected for analysis. Some aspects when ► branchio-oto-renal specifying the phenotype of BOR syndrome are controversial, especially those issues syndrome related to the audiological profile in which there was variability on auditory standard, ► BOR syndrome hearing loss progression, and type and degree of the hearing loss.

  • Esophagopharyngeal Perforation and Prevertebral Abscess After Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion: a Case Report
    232 Case Report Esophagopharyngeal perforation and prevertebral abscess after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: a case report Jay K. Shah1^, Filippo Romanelli1, Jason Yang2, Naina Rao3, Michael C. Gerling4 1Division of Orthopedic Surgery, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Jersey City Medical Center – Robertwood Johnson Barnabas Health, Jersey City, NJ, USA; 2Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, RWJBarnabas Health, New Brunswick, NJ, USA; 3New York Grossman School of Medicine, NYU Langone Health, New York, NY, USA; 4Chief of Spine Surgery, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, New York University Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, Tribeca, New York, NY, USA Correspondence to: Jay K. Shah, DO. Division of Orthopedic Surgery, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Jersey City Medical Center – Robertwood Johnson Barnabas Health, 355 Grand Street, Jersey City, NJ 07302, USA. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) represents one of the most commonly performed spine surgeries. Dysphagia secondary to esophageal injury during retraction is one of the most common complications, and usually leads to self-limiting dysphagia. However, actual perforation and violation of the esophageal tissue is much rarer and can lead to delayed deep infections. Prevertebral abscess’ are one of the most feared complications after ACDF, as they can lead to severe tissue swelling, osteomyelitis, hardware failure, and even death. Due to their rarity, a gold standard of workup and treatment is still unknown. A healthy 47-year-old female presents 9 months after a C4–C7 ACDF done at an outside institution with a large prevertebral abscess, osteomyelitis, hardware failure, and pseudoarthrosis secondary to esophagopharyngeal defect and prominent hardware. Overall, the patient underwent eight surgeries, and required an extended course of intravenous (IV) antibiotics, multiple diagnostic procedures, and complex soft tissue coverage using an anterolateral thigh free flap.

  • Head and Neck Specimens
    Head and Neck Specimens DEFINITIONS AND GENERAL COMMENTS: All specimens, even of the same type, are unique, and this is particularly true for Head and Neck specimens. Thus, while this outline is meant to provide a guide to grossing the common head and neck specimens at UAB, it is not all inclusive and will not capture every scenario. Thus, careful assessment of each specimen with some modifications of what follows below may be needed on a case by case basis. When in doubt always consult with a PA, Chief/Senior Resident and/or the Head and Neck Pathologist on service. Specimen-derived margin: A margin taken directly from the main specimen-either a shave or radial. Tumor bed margin: A piece of tissue taken from the operative bed after the main specimen has been resected. This entire piece of tissue may represent the margin, or it could also be specifically oriented-check specimen label/requisition for any further orientation. Margin status as determined from specimen-derived margins has been shown to better predict local recurrence as compared to tumor bed margins (Surgical Pathology Clinics. 2017; 10: 1-14). At UAB, both methods are employed. Note to grosser: However, even if a surgeon submits tumor bed margins separately, the grosser must still sample the specimen margins. Figure 1: Shave vs radial (perpendicular) margin: Figure adapted from Surgical Pathology Clinics. 2017; 10: 1-14): Red lines: radial section (perpendicular) of margin Blue line: Shave of margin Comparison of shave and radial margins (Table 1 from Chiosea SI.

Riley Committee Members, Mark J. Zoran Brian D. Perkins Rajesh C. Miranda Head of Department Uel Jackson McMahan December 2011 Major Subject: Biology iii ABSTRACT Neurosensory Development in the Zebrafish Inner Ear. (December 2011) Shruti Vemaraju, B.Tech., Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Bruce B. Riley The vertebrate inner ear is a complex structure responsible for hearing and balance. The inner ear houses sensory epithelia composed of mechanosensory hair cells and non-sensory support cells. Hair cells synapse with neurons of the VIIIth cranial ganglion, the statoacoustic ganglion (SAG), and transmit sensory information to the hindbrain. This dissertation focuses on the development and regulation of both sensory and neuronal cell populations. The sensory epithelium is established by the basic helix- loop-helix transcription factor Atoh1. Misexpression of atoh1a in zebrafish results in induction of ectopic sensory epithelia albeit in limited regions of the inner ear. We show that sensory competence of the inner ear can be enhanced by co-activation of fgf8/3 or sox2, genes that normally act in concert with atoh1a.
