Spelling on images

Hi everyone. I just nipped over from WP:Dinos to browse thru some anat. articles and I noticed that a couple of the images on Ilium (bone) contain labels for illiac crest and asetabulum. I don't have the time myself but thought I'd let you know in case anyone wanted to a quick fix (even in MS Paint). Cheers. Secret Squïrrel approx 3:15, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

why isn't the color coated blood supply / innervation template on the wp page?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supinator_muscle

see how this has the color coated thing with blood supply and innervation? is that a template? if so, why isn't it on the project page?

Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Musculoskeletal Injuries Project

My Movement Anatomy class will be working to improve or create articles on musculoskeletal injuries through June 2010. Your comments and suggestions on how to improve these articles are greatly appreciated. See my talk page for more details of this project. The articles to be improved are listed below.

The topic which my group will be tackling for this project in musculoskeletal Injuries is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. In our project we will discuss what it is and how it affects our musculoskeletal system as well as how it is developed and if there are possible ways to avoid this Injury.

My group's project will be on the injury to the ACL. We will attempt to add to and revise any of the information already available in the current wikipedia article. This includes general information, causes, prevention, and treatment. The ACL is a vital ligament for proper movementhe anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) receives the most injuries then the other ligaments. Injuries of the ACL range from mild such as small tears to severe when the ligament is completely torn. There are many ways the ACL can be torn the most prevalent is when the knee is bent too much toward the back and when it goes too far to the side. Tears in the anterior cruciate ligament usually take place when the knee receives direct impact while the leg is in a stable position. Torn ACL’s are most of the time related to high impact sports or when the knee is forced to make sharp changes in movement and during abrupt stops from high speed. These types of injuries are prevalent in soccer, high jump, basketball, and football. Research has shown that women involved in sports are more likely to have ACL injuries then males. ACL tears can also happen among older individuals from a slip and fall and they are seen mostly in people over forty due to wear and tear of the ligaments. An ACL tear can be determined by the an individual if a popping sound is heard after impact, swelling after a couple of hours, severe pain when bending the knee, and when the knee buckles or locks during movement.

A torn ACL is less likely to control the movements of the knee. When tears to the ACL is not repaired it can sometimes cause damage to the cartilage inside the knee because with the torn ACL the tibia and femur bone are more likely to rub against each other. Immediately after the tear of the ACL, the person should rest it, ice it ever fifteen to twenty minutes, produce compression on the knee, and then elevate above the heart; this process helps decrease the swelling and reduce the pain. The form of treatment is determined based on the severity of the tear on the ligament. Small tears in the ACL may just require several months of rehab in order to strengthen the surrounding muscles, the hamstring and the quadriceps, so that these muscles can compensate for the torn ligament.

If the tare is severe, surgery may be necessary because the ACL can not heal independently because there is a lack of blood supply going to this ligament. Surgery is usually required among athletes because the ACL is needed in order to perform sharp movements safely and with stability. The surgery of the ACL is usually done several weak after the injury in order to allow the swelling and inflammation to go down. During surgery the ACL is not repaired instead, it is reconstructed using other ligaments in the body. There are three different types of ACL surgery. The first type is the patella tendon-bone auto graft is when the surgeon takes a piece of the patella tendon and uses it to reconstruct the new ACL tendon. The second type is hamstring tendon auto graft this is when the surgeon uses two tendons from the back of the knee and doubles them to become the new ACL tendon. The third type is when tissue is taken from a cadaver to for the new ACL. Patella tendon-bone auto graft and hamstring auto graft are the most common and preferred because it produce the best results. After the surgery, rehabilitation is required in order to strengthen the surrounding muscles and stabilize the joint. kjnavalta (talk) 17:10, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The topic which my group has decided to do our project on is Low back pain. Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders affecting people worldwide. My group will be discussing the prevalence of lumbar injuries, risk factors which cause lumbar pain, the mechanisms of injury, therapy after injury and injury prevention. Our overall goal is to help the community out by providing them with further knowledge on this disorder.Dominicbaiocco (talk) 05:47, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We as a group will be discussing and illustrating rotator cuff tears. A rotator cuff tear refers to the shoulder region of the human body, were there is one to multiple tears to the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles. The rotator cuff muscles have four tendons that are connected to the shoulder, which are the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and supracapularis. The supraspinatus tendon is the most common tendon that is torn. The reason we chose this topic is because rotator cuff tear injuries are among the most common injury in sports. It’s most common in baseball pitchers, who throw a baseball over-hand everyday and without having the shoulder strong can lead to a tear. In the biomechanical world, over-hand throw is not normal motion. Throwing an object repetitively, can cause a lot of stress or even strain to the shoulder tendons. We will illustrate the anatomy of the shoulder and show the areas of were those tears might occur. We will also introduce what can cause a rotator cuff tear and how to diagnosis the condition. When we have an injury, the idea is to treat it so we can get better. We will discuss the different treatments that will be affected on making the shoulder stronger again. As we are gathering all this useful information, there will be studies that will help support what we are discussing. comment added by Sallisonm (talk) 21:40, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We are studying the achilles tendon and the effects, treatment, recovery of achilles tendon tears. This is related to a wide spectrum of sports activities, and any activity that requires you to be on your feet. Anytime you walk, run, or jump, being able to flex the ankle joint is necessary to complete any of these tasks with any kind of functional capacity. The Achilles tendon provides the leverage by which the biarticulate gastrocnemius (calf muscle) can flex, and in turn plantar flex the ankle. The gastrocnemius is located on the posterior side of the leg and originates above the knee at the medial and lateral condyle of the femur. The Achilles tendon inserts on the calcaneous bone of the heel. We are going to examine many of the causes of achilles tendon tears, whether it be from an exhaustive sporting event to stepping off of a ledge the wrong way. we will also discuss many of the common treatments practiced on patients both surgical and non surgical. Finally, we will go over the recovery process, and determine which type of treatment is best for each patient, with different types of tears.76.90.73.93 (talk) 19:17, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi everybody! I always find collaborative school projects like this to be quite exciting, and I'd like to help in any way that I can. I've already begun by leaving some comments on the peer reviews for low back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome, and as an experienced prose reviewer, I'd be happy to provide more specific feedback whenever you need it. I also have access to a number of anatomy/physiology textbooks (which I've listed on my userpage), so I might be able to help out with sourcing too. In any case, thanks for joining us! --Cryptic C62 · Talk 19:21, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The ACL injury group has moved their project to a separate article. Find our project here at KIN 412 ACL injury.Kjnavalta (talk) 18:56, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reproductive anatomy

Google's private foundation is supporting expansions of the Swahili Wikipedia, Spanish Wikipedia, and Arabic Wikipedia. (See this announcement.) Forty medicine- or health-related articles, some of particular interest to developing countries, have been identified as targets. Basically, Google has offered to have these articles reviewed and professionally translated -- and we'd naturally prefer that the translators were looking at a good, accurate article.

Female reproductive system (human) and Male reproductive system (human), topics that are within the scope of this project, have recently been reviewed by an outside expert, who suggested several freely accessible sources and some ways to expand these seriously incomplete articles. Please read the comments on the talk page and see whether you can help. Even small contributions are very much appreciated.

If you are interested in helping with the overall project, please consider adding Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Google Project to your watchlist, improving these articles, and/or contributing advice at the talk page. All editors are welcome. Thanks, WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:33, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Facial Canal Page Review

Would someone please be kind enough to take a look at my comments regarding the Facial canal. I am suspicious of a sentence and marked it as dubious, however, I'm not an anatomist nor do I pretend to be one.
