Anatomical variations of the superior thyroid and superior laryngeal arteries.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: There are known to be variations in the origins of the superior thyroid artery (STA), an important surgical landmark, and 1 of its branches, the superior laryngeal artery (SLA). METHODS: Three hundred thirty human embalmed heminecks were ... Read more...

Short- and long-term effects of a neonatal low-protein diet in rats on the morphology of the larynx.

29 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the short- and long-term effects of a maternal low-protein diet during lactation on offspring laryngeal morphology. Our hypothesis was that a neonatal low-protein diet during the critical period of ... Read more...

Magnetic resonance imaging anatomy of the normal equine larynx and pharynx.

29 Jun 2009 The purpose of the present study was to describe normal magnetic resonance (MR) imaging anatomy of the equine larynx and pharynx and to present the optimal protocol, sequences, and possible limitations of this examination technique. Using a 0.3 T ... Read more...
