The fossil record of the Devonian tree Archaeopteris/Callixylon is extensive worldwide, however, the underground parts of these plants remain scarcely known. To date, there are only three studies that provide detailed anatomical descriptions of their roots. This study describes new anatomically preserved roots and stems of Callixylon from uppermost...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze the origins of prostatic arteries (PAs) in the Korean population and compare them with those reported in the literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From April 2018 to February 2024, 108 male (mean age ± standard deviation: 71.6 ± 9.7 years) with lower urinary tract symptoms (n = 102) or refractory hematur...

This study used micro-focus X-ray Computed Tomography (micro-XCT) to examine the anatomical differences and dimensions of the maxillary incisive canal (MIC) in a South African population. The accurate imaging yielded dependable results that support earlier research and enhance anterior maxilla surgery planning. Furthermore, these anatomical feature...
If De Quincey evoked “murder as one of the fine arts”, fine arts have always been the locus of animal murders, but that is slowly emerging as a topic of research. Former Young British Artist Damien Hirst is notorious for having caused the deaths of more than one million insects and animals – over a period when the world was putting to death million...

Violations of the mandibular canal (MC) and mental foramen (MF) and subsequent injuries to their neurovascular bundle have been reported after surgical and nonsurgical dental procedures. Besides using advanced technologies such as cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), clinicians should be aware of the anatomy and location of MC and MF in different ...

BACKGROUND The liver anatomy appears to be very complex due to the enormous number of vascular and biliary branches as well as the fact that the underlying pathology frequently distorts the anatomy. To prevent damage during surgical or invasive procedures, it is advised to be aware of the arteries’ typical structure and variations. Hepatic surgeons...

Occipital nerve blocks are essential in diagnosing and treating headache disorders such as migraine, cervicogenic headache, occipital neuralgia, and cluster headache. In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential compression points of the greater occipital nerve (GON), third occipital nerve (TON), and lesser occipital nerve (LON) which are t...
peer reviewed / Predictive processing (PP) stands as a predominant theoretical framework in neuroscience. While some efforts have been made to frame PP within a cognitive domain-general network perspective, suggesting the existence of a "prediction network," these studies have primarily focused on specific cognitive domains or functions. The questi...
The earliest Carboniferous (ca 360-330 million years ago) is a pivotal time in plant evolution, with the transition between taxa that characterized the first complex plant communities during the middle to late Devonian and more modern groups that later became major elements of the iconic coal swamps vegetation of the Late Carboniferous. However, lo...
