An anatomical investigation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic contributions to the cardiac plexus.
(2011)The cardiac plexus is “formed by mixed autonomic nerves” that are “described in terms of superficial and deep components, with the superficial located below the aortic arch and anterior to the right pulmonary artery, and ... -
The anatomical study of the osteochondral, vascular and muscular relations of the superficial and deep cervical plexuses.
(2010)In standard anatomical textbooks, the formation of the cervical plexus is well defined; however the accurate differentiation into superficial and deep plexuses, their emerging patterns, and gross anatomical relations are ... -
Aortic valve replacement : anatomical considerations in a narrow aortic root.
(2015)Coronary artery ostial stenosis is a life threatening complication of aortic valve replacement (AVR) surgery. It occurs in 3-5% of all AVR operations. Most cases occur 1 to 6 months following AVR. However, some cases ... -
A comparative cross sectional study of the morphological relationship between the superficial and deep gray matter structures in a random sample of cadaveric adult human brains in the Discipline of Clinical Anatomy at University of KwaZulu-Natal.
(2015)Background: While various neurodegenerative diseases affect the cortical mass and mass of deep gray matter differently, finding an optimal and accurate method for measuring thickness and surface area of the cerebral cortex ... -

(2016)Background: Reported incidences of failure of spinal anaesthesia during caesarean section and the contributory factors vary widely across practices. Paucity of national guidelines for benchmarking acceptable failure rate ... -
Hepatic histomorphological changes following highly active antiretroviral therapy and the intervention of hypoxis hemerocallidea in an experimental animal model.
(2015)Introduction Hepatotoxicity has remained a serious complication limiting the efficacy of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) regimen. While this challenge continues to exist, finding possible solutions continues ... -
An investigation of the medial branches of the cervical and thoracic sympathetic chain.
(2001)The number of peripheral segmental branches of the cervical and thoracic sympathetic chains are more variable and larger than assumed by textbooks and literature (Groen et al., 1987). This investigation aims to clarify ... -

(2014)Tooth impaction is a pathological condition in which a tooth is completely or partially unerupted and positioned against another tooth, bone or soft tissue, thus preventing further eruption. Many theories have been proposed ... -
Renal histomorphological changes following highly active antiretroviral therapy : possible role of Hypoxis hemerocallidea in an experimental animal model.
(2015)Background: Nephrotoxicity has become an important public health problem following highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), and there is paucity of literature reporting the attenuating influence of plant based ...
