Disease relevance of Cadaver

• After a forceful posterior hip dislocation was performed on the cadavers, the proximal vessels were injected with a radioopaque colored latex liquid polymer (Microfil) and examined under cinefluoroscopy [2].
• After constructing length-tension curves of the profundus muscle in four fresh cadavers prior to the onset of rigor mortis, the interaction of realistic lumbrical loads with profundus elastic tension was studied [3].
• For the S1 root 76% originated above and 24% at the L5-S1 disc in the formalin-preserved cadavers and 75% and 25%, respectively, in the fresh cadavers.A herniated disc usually compresses the root before division of the root sleeve [4].
• Moreover, after direct injection into the PVILS, latex reached the ganglion in 13 of a further 19 (68.4%) postmortem-fixed donated cadavers [5].

High impact information on Cadaver

• During that time, the survival rates for grafts from cadavers and living related donors increased by 7 and 3 percent, respectively, in part because of the introduction of cyclosporine [6].
• Dihydrotestosterone content was measured in seven cadavers ranging in age from 19 to 82 yr of age [7].
• Liver-cadmium content has been studied in cadavers and in four men with known of suspected cadmium poisoning [8].
• METHODS: Both joint-related (articular) and extraarticular entheses were removed from 28 sites in the limbs of formalin-fixed cadavers (age at death 70-101 years) that had been donated for anatomic study [9].
• RESULTS: In GC-MS analysis, muramic acid was observed in the ST from 4 of 35 RA patients and from 2 of 14 OA patients, but not in ST from 2 patients with UA and 3 cadavers [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Cadaver

• We prepared luminal casts of the arteries from eight cadavers and cleared the arteries from the remaining four cadavers [11].
• After injection of latex in cadavers, this potential barrier was seen [12].
• Anatomic and CT sections were compared in cadavers and patients in axial and coronal CT planes to identify the osseous configuration and vascular and neural contents of the fossa [13].
• After cannulation of the Stensen duct, the authors imaged the parotid gland of two cadavers in situ before and after intraductal injection of gadolinium tetrazacyclododecanetetraacetic acid [14].
• Lacrimal drainage systems (n = 51) obtained from human cadavers were investigated by clearing flat wholemounts or by serial sections of tissue embedded in paraffin, OCT compound, or epoxy resin [15].

Biological context of Cadaver

• METHODS: Entheses were removed from 29 different sites in the limbs of formalin fixed, elderly, dissecting room cadavers and the samples prepared for paraffin and/or methylmethacrylate histology [16].
• In order to provide more information on the immunology of peripheral nerves, 35 specimens (26 from seven cadavers and nine from surgical biopsies) were analyzed for the presence of human leukocyte antigens (HLA), which are a key component of major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC Class II) antigens [17].
• Total body burdens and tissue concentrations of lead, cadmium, copper, zinc, and ash in 55 human cadavers [18].
• METHODS: DNA from the central 8.0-mm cornea, limbal cornea, aqueous humor, and retina from 22 eyes of 11 cadavers seropositive for HIV was extracted and amplified by polymerase chain reaction using primers specific for the gag and env regions of the HIV-1 genome [19].
• Toxicology tests of the specimens obtained from cadavers were all negative for cocaine metabolites [20].

Anatomical context of Cadaver

• To define the appearance of degenerative changes of the triangular fibrocartilage (TFC) of the wrist on magnetic resonance (MR) images, the TFCs in one wrist of each of 30 healthy subjects in three age groups (20-35, 36-50, and greater than 50 years) and six TFCs from fresh cadavers were examined by means of coronal T1-weighted spin-echo sequences [21].
• RESULTS: In all cadavers, the needle was close to the obturator nerve branches, which were surrounded by the latex solution [22].
• Dissections of five human adult cadavers revealed that the C2 spinal ganglion bears a constant relationship to the dorsal aspect of the lateral atlanto-axial joint [23].
• METHODS: Both alar ligaments from 6 cadavers were fixed in 90% methanol and cryosectioned longitudinally [24].
• An experiment using the hands and distal forearms of cadavers was designed to determine which damaged pulleys increase excursion length of the flexor tendon with constant tendon and resisting loads [25].

Gene context of Cadaver

• Superior cervical ganglia from 7 human cadavers (3-7 h post mortem) were immunostained for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DBH) and 14 different neuropeptides [26].
• Cadavers were used as samples and the results showed that analysis of beta-catenin, p63 and CD34 expressions in human cadaverous scalp skin by immunohistochemical techniques were possible [27].
• DESIGN: Four lumbar spines, including T12 and in one case T11, were obtained from embalmed cadavers and carefully dissected to expose the contents of the IVF [28].
• METHODS: T1-T12 vertebral pedicles were studied in 18 cadavers by direct, roentgenographic, and computerized tomographic scan methods [29].
• In two-thirds of the 16 cadavers the AURA, PURA and RRA showed direct communication with the corresponding collateral arteries; the IRA exhibited less well-defined communication in 15 of the cadavers [30].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Cadaver

• In 10 formalin-preserved adult male cadavers, dissection of the penile veins, arteries and nerves revealed information of clinical importance [31].
• OBJECTIVES: We studied the safety and efficacy of 60-W potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser prostatectomy in living dogs and compared the efficacy with that in fresh human and dog cadavers [32].
• METHODS: The study used a combined approach, consisting of the modified E12 sheet plastination method for 3 adult cadavers and gross anatomic dissection for 35 cadavers, 2 of which were further examined using scanning electron microscopy [33].
• METHODS: The diameter and density of collagen fibrils were measured by transmission electron microscopy in specimens of subsynovial connective tissue from ten patients with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome and from ten fresh-frozen cadavers of individuals without known symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome [34].
• Allografts excised from cadavers were stored in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen in liquid nitrogen freezers (-150 degrees) after exposure to 15% glycerol [35].
