Comparative study of MDCT and CBCT of the temporal bone : anatomy, otosclerosis, and superior semicircular canal dehiscence Ghent University
An international, multicenter, comparative trial of EUS-guided gastrogastrostomy-assisted ERCP versus enteroscopy-assisted ERCP in patients with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass anatomy Vrije Universiteit Brussel
When anatomy meets technology : echocardiographic anatomy of the horse Ghent University
Standard echocardiographic images identify the most important large structures in the heart. The clinician should however also be able to identify more detailed anatomical structures and judge their appearance. Below is a brief description on how to obtain some of the images to visualize specific structures or vessels. From the right parasternal 2nd intercostal view, with the transducer rotation between 1 and 3 o’clock (OC) position and angling ...
Influence of medial and lateral imaging plane inclination on assessment of trochlear depth, sulcus angle, and facet asymmetry in the setting of trochlear anatomy Vrije Universiteit Brussel
PURPOSE: (1) to assess the influence of medial or lateral imaging plane inclination on the measurement of sulcus angle, trochlear depth, and facet asymmetry on transverse cross-sectional images. (2) to assess the effect of measurement level (height) on these respective parameters.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty dry femurs (9 left, 11 right) were imaged with CT. A 3D dataset was obtained from which axial images were reconstructed in the ...
Functional anatomy of the gibbon forelimb: adaptations to a brachiating lifestyle Royal Zoological Society of Antwerp University of Antwerp Ghent University
It has been shown that gibbons are able to brachiate with very low mechanical costs. The conversion of muscle activity into smooth, purposeful movement of the limb depends on the morphometry of muscles and their mechanical action on the skeleton. Despite the gibbon's reputation for excellence in brachiation, little information is available regarding either its gross musculoskeletal anatomy or its more detailed muscle-tendon architecture. We ...
Wood anatomy variability under contrasted environmental conditions of common deciduous and evergreen species from central African forests Ghent University KU Leuven
Key message: Wood density profiles revealed significant differences in wood formation along a precipitation gradient in the Congo Basin. The response of trees to climate change varies depending on leaf phenology properties. Abstract: Tropical forests face increasing pressures due to climate change and yet, the response of trees to varying climate conditions remains poorly understood. In the present study, we aim to fill some gaps by comparing ...
Self-assessment of genital anatomy and sexual function within a Belgian, Dutch-speaking female population: a validation study Ghent University
Introduction: Data on self-perceived genital anatomy and sensitivity should be part of the long-term follow-up of genitoplasty procedures. However, no normative data, based on a large sample, exist to date.Aims: Validation of the Self-Assessment of Genital Anatomy and Sexual Function, Female version (SAGAS-F) questionnaire within a Belgian, Dutch-speaking female population.Methods: Seven hundred forty-nine women with no history of genital ...
Contributions to the wood anatomy of the Rubioideae (Rubiaceae) Meise Botanic Garden
The secondary xylem of Craterispermeae, Coussareeae, Morindeae s.str., Prismatomerideae, Pauridiantheae, Urophylleae, and Triainolepideae (Rubiaceae, Rubioideae) is described and illustrated in detail. Genera that were previously placed in the Morindeae or Psychotrieae such as Damnacanthus, Lasianthus, Saldinia, and Trichostachys are also included. Wood anatomical characters are compared with recent phylogenetic insights into the study group on ...
Nonaxisymmetric mathematical model of the cardiac left ventricle anatomy Ghent University
We describe a mathematical model of the shape and fibre direction field of the cardiac left ventricle. The ventricle is composed of surfaces which model myocardial sheets. On each surface, we construct a set of curves corresponding to myocardial fibres. Tangents to these curves form the myofibres direction field. The fibres are made as images of semicircle chords parallel to its diameter. To specify the left ventricle shape, we use a special ...
