Beard' ABSTRACT This article explores a developing technology-the creation of digi- tal replicas of individuals, both living and dead, as well as the creation of totally imaginary humans. The article examines the various laws, includ- ing copyright, sui generis, right of publicity and trademark, that may be employed to prevent the creation, duplication and exploitation of digital replicas of individuals as well as to prevent unauthorized alteration of ex- isting images of a person. With respect to totally imaginary digital hu- mans, the article addresses the issue of whether such virtual humans should be treated like real humans or simply as highly sophisticated forms of animated cartoon characters.

Neurosurgery, Seattle Science Foundation Corresponding author: Erfanul Saker, [email protected] Abstract Few studies have examined the costovertebral joint and its ligaments in detail. Therefore, the following review was performed to better elucidate their anatomy, function and involvement in pathology. Standard search engines were used to find studies concerning the costovertebral joints and ligaments. These often- overlooked ligaments of the body serve important functions in maintaining appropriate alignment between the ribs and spine. With an increasing interest in minimally invasive approaches to the thoracic spine and an improved understanding of the function and innervation of these ligaments, surgeons and clinicians should have a good working knowledge of these structures. Categories: Neurosurgery, Orthopedics, Rheumatology Keywords: costovertebral joint, spine, anatomy, thoracic Introduction And Background The costovertebral joint ligaments are relatively unknown and frequently overlooked anatomical structures [1]. Although small and short in size, they are abundant, comprising 108 costovertebral ligaments in the normal human thoracic spine, and they are essential to its stability and function [2-3].

The following bony prominences can usually be palpated in the living subject (corresponding vertebral levels are given in brackets): •◊◊superior angle of the scapula (T2); •◊◊upper border of the manubrium sterni, the suprasternal notch (T2/3); •◊◊spine of the scapula (T3); •◊◊sternal angle (of Louis) — the transverse ridge at the manubrio-sternal junction (T4/5); •◊◊inferior angle of scapula (T8); •◊◊xiphisternal joint (T9); •◊◊lowest part of costal margin—10th rib (the subcostal line passes through L3). Note from Fig. 1 that the manubrium corresponds to the 3rd and 4th thoracic vertebrae and overlies the aortic arch, and that the sternum corre- sponds to the 5th to 8th vertebrae and neatly overlies the heart. Since the 1st and 12th ribs are difficult to feel, the ribs should be enu- merated from the 2nd costal cartilage, which articulates with the sternum at the angle of Louis. The spinous processes of all the thoracic vertebrae can be palpated in the midline posteriorly, but it should be remembered that the first spinous process that can be felt is that of C7 (the vertebra prominens). The position of the nipple varies considerably in the female, but in the male it usually lies in the 4th intercostal space about 4in (10cm) from the midline.

  • Craniotomy for Anterior Cranial Fossa Meningiomas: Historical Overview
    Neurosurg Focus 36 (4):E14, 2014 ©AANS, 2014 Craniotomy for anterior cranial fossa meningiomas: historical overview SAUL F. MORALES-VALERO, M.D., JAMIE J. VAN GOMPEL, M.D., IOANNIS LOUMIOTIS, M.D., AND GIUSEPPE LANZINO, M.D. Department of Neurologic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Mayo Medical School, Rochester, Minnesota The surgical treatment of meningiomas located at the base of the anterior cranial fossa is often challenging, and the evolution of the surgical strategy to resect these tumors parallels the development of craniotomy, and neurosur- gery in general, over the past century. Early successful operations to treat these tumors were pioneered by prominent figures such as Sir William Macewen and Francesco Durante. Following these early reports, Harvey Cushing made significant contributions, allowing a better understanding and treatment of meningiomas in general, but particularly those involving the anterior cranial base. Initially, large-sized unilateral or bilateral craniotomies were necessary to approach these deep-seated lesions. Technical advances such as the introduction of electrosurgery, the operating microscope, and refined microsurgical instruments allowed neurosurgeons to perform less invasive surgical proce- dures with better results. Today, a wide variety of surgical strategies, including endoscopic surgery and radiosurgery, are used to treat these tumors. In this review, the authors trace the evolution of craniotomy for anterior cranial fossa meningiomas.

  • Slipping Rib Syndrome
    Slipping Rib Syndrome Jackie Dozier, BS Edited by Lisa E McMahon, MD FACS FAAP David M Notrica, MD FACS FAAP Case Presentation AA is a 12 year old female who presented with a 7 month history of right-sided chest/rib pain. She states that the pain was not preceded by trauma and she had never experienced pain like this before. She has been seen in the past by her pediatrician, chiropractor, and sports medicine physician for her pain. In May 2012, she was seen in the ER after having manipulations done on her ribs by a sports medicine physician. Pain at that time was constant throughout the day and kept her from sleeping. However, it was relieved with hydrocodone/acetaminophen in the ER. Case Presentation Over the following months, the pain became progressively worse and then constant. She also developed shortness of breath. She is a swimmer and says she has had difficulty practicing due to the pain and SOB. AA was seen by a pediatric surgeon and scheduled for an interventional pain management service consult for a test injection. Following good temporary relief by local injection, she was scheduled costal cartilage removal to treat her pain. What is Slipping Rib Syndrome? •Slipping Rib Syndrome (SRS) is caused by hypermobility of the anterior ends of the false rib costal cartilages, which leads to slipping of the affected rib under the superior adjacent rib. •SRS an lead to irritation of the intercostal nerve or strain of the muscles surrounding the rib. •SRS is often misdiagnosed and can lead to months or years of unresolved abdominal and/or thoracic pain.

  • Anatomy of the Spine
    12 Anatomy of the Spine Overview The spine is made of 33 individual bones stacked one on top of the other. Ligaments and muscles connect the bones together and keep them aligned. The spinal column provides the main support for your body, allowing you to stand upright, bend, and twist. Protected deep inside the bones, the spinal cord connects your body to the brain, allowing movement of your arms and legs. Strong muscles and bones, flexible tendons and ligaments, and sensitive nerves contribute to a healthy spine. Keeping your spine healthy is vital if you want to live an active life without back pain. Spinal curves When viewed from the side, an adult spine has a natural S-shaped curve. The neck (cervical) and low back (lumbar) regions have a slight concave curve, and the thoracic and sacral regions have a gentle convex curve (Fig. 1). The curves work like a coiled spring to absorb shock, maintain balance, and allow range of motion throughout the spinal column. The muscles and correct posture maintain the natural spinal curves. Good posture involves training your body to stand, walk, sit, and lie so that the least amount of strain is placed on the spine during movement or weight-bearing activities. Excess body weight, weak muscles, and other forces can pull at the spine’s alignment: • An abnormal curve of the lumbar spine is lordosis, also called sway back. • An abnormal curve of the thoracic spine is Figure 1. (left) The spine has three natural curves that form kyphosis, also called hunchback. an S-shape; strong muscles keep our spine in alignment.
