Topography, contents and some clinical problems of the popliteal fossa are presented. The popliteal fossa is a rhomboid-shaped intermuscular space situated at the back of the knee. It contains the popliteal artery and vein (arteria et vena poplitea), the small saphenous vein (vena saphena parva), the common fibular and tibial nerves (nervus fibularis communis, … Preberite več >>
The pathology of the anorectum is rich. Evaluation of some symptoms frequently associated with diseases of the anus and rectum is presented. The general principles of history taking and digitorectal examination are discussed.
Bursa omentalis (lesser sac) is a vertical peritoneal cavity behind the stomach. It communicates with the main peritoneal cavity (greater sac) through the foramen omentale, an opening located under the liver and posterior to the hepatoduodenal ligament. The anterior wall of the omental bursa is formed by the stomach and its double-layered peritoneal folds. The fold extending from the lesser … Preberite več >>
In addition to animal experiments, digital and analogue simulations are also used in medical research as well in medical education. In this way, various physiological systems can be studied and, if suitably presented, simulations can greatly improve the understanding of underlying processes. In initial simulations of pulmonary ventilation, mechanical models were used. Recently, these have been replaced by computer-assisted digital … Preberite več >>
The main features of functional anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology and coronary angiography are presented and the clinical importance of coronary artery collaterals in patients with ischemic heart disease is discussed. Coronary artery collaterals can provide perfusion of the regions compromised by the significantly narrowed or occluded coronary arteries. The collaterals appear to reduce the extent and the degree of myocardial ischemia, … Preberite več >>
