Our new article on twisted Achilles tendon microvasculature.

The Achilles tendon (AT) is reportedly the most vulnerable to rupture at the midportion, a section of relative hypovascularity. It has been postulated that the twisted structure of this tendon may constitute a critical factor contributing to increased propensity to vascular compromise, decreased reg...

URGENT NEED FOR VOLUNTEER TELE-MEDICINE PHYSICIANS FOR HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE TO COVID CRISIS IN INDIA:

As you may have heard, the COVID-19 situation in India has rapidly deteriorated and the healthcare system has all but collapsed.
Doctors in India are inundated with astronomical amounts of clinical work ranging from triage, managing, and appropriate disposition of patients. It would mean a big service if some amongst you can volunteer your time to help these doctors who are fatigued, overburdened with cases, and in need of expertise support to cover their cases via tele-medicine.

As part of one of the many initiatives I am working on to provide aid and control the deteriorating COVID situation in India, one of my collaborative groups, COVIDRxExchange, a US based non-for-profit focused on India, is recruiting doctors from around the world to help with tele-medicine and remote consults.

If you are ready to spare time, kindly provide your details to build a rotation and extend your help when they need it the most. You can commit as much time as you want (voluntarily). Each session will be of two hours, and you can commit as many sessions as you want, on whichever day you wish to contribute.

How will the tele-consult or remote consult work? We will share the details once you provide us your interest in volunteering. Please fill in the form below.

Thank you for your benevolence and efforts to help humanity during this crisis. Indeed, the situation is India is threat to global security, as the risk for development of mutations that can escape the vaccines is high.

p.s. please feel free to share with colleagues.

We are pleased to announce the first meeting of the Clinical Anatomy Students Group this year, whose supervisor is Mr. dr hab. n. med. Krzysztof A. Tomaszewski. The group works closely with The International Evidence Based Anatomy Working Group (http://www.eba.cm.uj.edu.pl https://www.facebook.com/EvidenceBasedAnatomy/). The work of the group focuses on the following aspects:
- high quality anatomical original works
-meta-analyzes / systematic reviews
Members will have the opportunity to participate in international research projects on clinical anatomy in the context of, among others orthopedics, general surgery, vascular surgery, neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, dentistry and maxillofacial surgery etc. Members will also be able to improve anatomical preparation skills.
The first meeting will take place in the lecture hall of the Department of Anatomy on November 6 (Wednesday) at 18:30. You're welcome!

Welcome to the home page of The International Evidence-Based Anatomy Working Group (iEBA-WG). The iEBA-WG is closely affiliated with the Department of Anatomy, Jagiellonian University Medical College, Krakow, Poland. The group was formed with the goal of providing a new foundation of evidence-based....

The artery of Adamkiewicz (AKA) provides the major blood supply to the anterior thoracolumbar spinal cord and iatrogenic injury of this vessel during vascular and endovascular surgery can result in postoperative neurological deficit due to spinal cord ischemia. In our new paper in Neuroradiology, we investigate the anatomical characteristics and surgical implications of this vessel.

In our new paper in Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, we investigate the foramen tympanicum (FT), a developmental anomaly that forms due to incomplete fusion of processes of the tympanic ring. Its presence in the population is controversial and it has been associated with a number of otologic complications.

In our new article in The Surgeon, we investigate a vital structure known as the axillary arch (AA) - a muscular, tendinous or musculotendinous slip arising from the latissimus dorsi that terminates in various structures around the shoulder girdle. The AA may complicate axillary lymph node biopsy or breast reconstructive surgery, and oncologists and surgeons should consider this variant while diagnosing an unknown palpable mass in the axilla, as the arch might mimic a neoplasm or enlarged lymph node.

The foramen arcuale (FA) is an osseous bridge that can be formed on the posterior arch of the atlas, often observed on lateral radiographs of the cervical spine. In our new paper in Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, we systematically review the available literature on the FA and its role in headaches and migraines. Read the full article here:

The inferior thyroid artery (ITA) is the primary source of blood supply to the thyroid gland and is historically portrayed as originating from the thyrocervical trunk. In our new paper in Przegla̧d lekarski we explored the variations in origin of the ITA and potential surgical implications. Knowledge of these differing points of origin may allow for better operative planning and iatrogenic injury reduction.
