Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Anatomy has a long history, and various morphological studies have been conducted. Human anatomy is the basis of medicine for learning not only about the structure of the human body three-dimensionally, but also about the meaning of the structure of the human body in an integrated manner. The structure formed by ontogeny and phylogeny becomes a unique structure and undergoes various forms of change. Therefore, no one has a standard structure for all organs. Anatomical variations exist in various organs, such as blood vessels, muscles, and nerves. However, the structures described in anatomy textbooks are standard structures, and anatomical variations are not often described. Anatomical variations are important for performing various actions, such as surgery, therapy, and exercise. This time, we are broadly inviting anatomical, embryological and clinical research, focusing on anatomical variations in humans.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

We evaluated the incidence of intraforaminal and extraforaminal variations of the vertebral artery (VA) in the Omani population using computed tomography angiography (CTA). CTA results of 579 consecutive Omani patients (1158 VAs) were reviewed retrospectively for the analysis of unusual entrance transverse foramen (UE-V2), midline migration (MM), persistent first intersegmental artery (PFIA), and paracondylar process (PP) variations of VA. The anomalous origin and VA dominance were also determined. The sex and side differences in the incidence of these variations were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The incidence of UE-V2 was observed in 10.44% (121 out of 1158) of cases. The incidence of UE-V2 at different vertebral levels was observed in the sequence of C5 (71%) > C4 (20.7%) > C7 (7.43%) > C3 (0.8%). The incidence of MM variation was 1.29%. PFIA and PP variations were found in 0.17% and 0.60% of cases, respectively. Left-dominant VA was identified in 44.7% (259 out of 579) of subjects. The incidence of VA variations was not significantly associated with either sex or side. Anomalous VA origin from arch aorta (3.5%) and right common carotid artery (CCA) (0.08%) was identified. The incidence of UE-V2 in Omani subjects is comparatively higher than that reported in other Asian populations. A rare case of VA originating from the right CCA was also identified. Full article
