RESUMO
This study aimed to investigate the sustainable use of recycled plastics, specifically polypropylene (PP) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE), in the manufacture of geogrids for geotechnical and civil engineering applications. Plastics were collected from a recycling center, specifically targeting containers used for food, cleaning products, and other domestic packaging items. These plastics were sorted according to the Möbius triangle classification system, with HDPE (#2) and PP (#5) being the primary categories of interest. The research methodologically evaluates the mechanical properties of PP/HDPE (0/100, 25/75, 50/50, 75/25 and 100/0% w/w) composites through tensile and flexural tests, exploring various compositions and configurations of geogrids. The results highlight the superiority of pure recycled HDPE processed into 1.3 mm thick laminated yarns and hot air welded for 20 to 30 s, exhibiting a deformation exceeding 60% in comparison to the PP/HDPE composites. Through SolidWorks® Simulation, it was shown that the adoption of a trigonal geogrid geometry optimizes force distribution and tensile strength, significantly improving slope stabilization efficiency. Based on the results obtained, a laboratory-scale prototype geogrid was developed using an extrusion process. The results underscore the importance of careful composite design and yarn configuration selection to achieve the desired mechanical properties and performance in geogrid applications. It emphasizes the potential of recycled plastics as a viable and environmentally friendly solution for stabilizing slopes, contributing to the reduction in plastic waste and promoting sustainable construction practices.
RESUMO
The Neotropical otter (Lontra longicaudis) is a mustelid distributed geographically from Mexico to Argentina. Anomalous origins of the aortic arch branches are rarely reported in wild carnivorans. Therefore, this study aimed to report the anomalous branching of the aortic arch in one formaldehyde-fixed specimen of L. longicaudis. The aortic arch provided three branches: the bicarotid trunk and the left and right subclavian arteries. The latter passed dorsally to the esophagus toward the right side without a mark of compression at the esophagus. This is the first report of an anomalous origin of the right subclavian artery in L. longicaudis.

Tamandua mexicana is an anteater species native from Mexico to Peru. This species is of great evolutionary interest because it belongs to one of the oldest clades of placental mammals in the American continent. This study aimed to describe the origin, insertion, and arterial supply of the intrinsic shoulder and brachial muscles of T. mexicana. We also compared the masses of the functional groups. Gross dissections were performed on both thoracic limbs of 13 cadavers. ANOVA followed by Tukey's test was used for statistical analyses. The subscapularis muscle presents a hiatus to the common tendon of the caput breve of the biceps brachii and coracobrachialis muscles. A variant accessory muscle, the m. articularis humeri lateralis, was found on the lateral surface of the shoulder joint. M. deltoideus pars acromialis has two bellies. The teres major muscle is perforated by the aponeurotic origin of the m. tensor fasciae antebrachii. The triceps brachii has two capita longi. The caput mediale is fused with the m. anconeus medialis. The caput laterale can have an accessory belly as an anatomical variant. Among the functional groups, a significant difference was found between the elbow extensors and flexors, with the latter having the lowest mass. In conclusion, the intrinsic muscles of T. mexicana presented unique features for the species, as well as arrangements in mass distribution that evidence a possible evolutionary convergence among species of the Superorder Xenarthra.

Community-based psychosocial support group (CB-PSS) interventions using task-shifting approaches are well suited to provide culturally appropriate services in low- and middle-income countries. However, contextual barriers and facilitators must be considered to tailor interventions effectively, particularly considering the challenges introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic. We explore the barriers, facilitators, and psychosocial changes associated with implementing a CB-PSS group intervention delivered by local lay providers to conflict-affected adults in Quibdó, Colombia, using both in-person and remote modalities. Data were analyzed from 25 individual interviews with participants and a focus group discussion involving staff members, including 7 community psychosocial agent facilitators and 2 mental health professional supervisors. The analysis used a thematic approach grounded in a descriptive phenomenology to explore the lived experiences of participants and staff members during implementation. Participant attendance in the in-person modality was compromised by factors such as competing work and family responsibilities and disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants in the remote modality faced challenges concerning unstable Internet connectivity, recurrent power outages caused by heavy rain, distractions, interruptions, and threats to confidentiality by family and coworkers. Despite these challenges, data revealed key contextual facilitators, including the community-based knowledge of facilitators and integration of traditional practices, such as the comadreo (informal talks and gatherings). Respondents shared that the CB-PSS groups promoted stronger community relationships and created opportunities for participants to exchange peer support, practice leadership skills, develop problem-solving skills based on peers' experiences, and enhance emotional regulation skills. Differences and similarities across in-person and remote modalities are discussed, as are key considerations for practitioners and policymakers.

Introducción: la Organización Mundial de la Salud considera a las lesiones accidentales o lesiones no intencionales (LNI) como un problema de salud pública por su efecto sobre la discapacidad y mortalidad en la población general. Objetivo: presentar y analizar los datos de LNI y muertes accidentales registrados por el Instituto Nacional de Medicina Legal y Ciencias Forenses en el departamento de Antioquia, durante los años 2016 y 2017. Métodos: estudio descriptivo basado en la información recolectada por el Instituto Nacional de Medicina Legal y Ciencias Forenses. Se calcula ron las tasas de lesionados y muertes por 100.000 habitantes/año y el análisis estadístico se realizó con el paquete estadístico SPSS® versión 24.0. Resultados: durante 2016 y 2017 se registró una tasa de morbilidad de LNI de 7,86 y 7,21 casos por 100.000 habitantes, respectivamente, similar a la del promedio nacional. Fue mayor el número de casos en hombres que en mujeres, principalmente entre los 18 y los 34 años. La tasa de mortalidad reportada fue de 10,10 y 11,05 por cada 100.000 habitantes para el mismo periodo. Las LNI fueron más frecuentes en personas con bajo nivel educativo, del área urbana, y el mecanismo traumático más frecuente fue el contundente. Conclusiones: este estudio evidencia disminución en las tasas de LNI y aumento de la mortalidad accidental en Antioquia, comparada con años anteriores. Dicho comportamiento es diferente a lo reportado por la literatura internacional. Se requieren investigaciones que analicen otras fuentes generadoras de información acerca de las LNI, con la finalidad de estimar con mayor precisión la ocurrencia del fenómeno y sus variables asociadas.
Background: The World Health Organization con siders unintentional injuries (UI) as an international public health problem, due to their effect on disability and mortality in the general population. Objective: To present and analyze the data on UI and accidental death collected by the National Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences in the Department of Antioquia, Colombia, between 2016 and 2017. Methods: Descriptive study based on the information collected by the National Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences. The rates of injuries and deaths per 100,000 inhabitants / year were calculated, and the statistical analysis was made using SPSS® version 24.0. Results: In the years 2016 and 2017, there was a morbidity rate of UI of 7.86 and 7.21 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, respectively, similar to the national average. The number of cases was greater in men than in women, mainly between 18 and 34 years of age. The reported accidental mortality rate was 10.10 and 11.05 per 100,000 inhabitants for the years 2016 and 2017, respectively. The UI were more frequent in people with low educational level, from the urban area, and the most frequent traumatic mechanism was the blunt one. Conclusions: This study shows a reduction in the rates of UI and an increase of the rates of accidental death in Antioquia compared to the previous years. This trend is different to the previously reported on international literature. More studies analyzing other sources of information on variables like UI are needed in this field, in order to precisely estimate the occurrence of this event and its associated variables.

The musculus sternalis is an anatomical variant that occurs in 3-8 % of the world population and its incidence is higher in women. It can be found unilaterally or bilaterally and is located in the anterior wall of the thorax, where its fibers run parallel to the sternum and superficial to the medial part of the pectoralis major muscle. The main objective of this study was to quantify the incidence of musculus sternalis in the population of Caldas (Colombia) and, therefore, 68 cadavers of adult individuals were used during a period of twenty years to determine the incidence of this muscle and describe its anatomical characteristics. Two cadavers had this muscle, which was equivalent to 2.94 % of the sample, where one was located unilaterally and in other bilaterally. In the case of unilateral presence, the muscle presented an oblique direction thatdoes not coincide with any subtype of the classification given for these muscles. In bilateral presentation, both muscles were continuous at their upper ends with the respective sternocleidomastoid muscle. In addition, the right musculus sternalis had a digastric shape, which also does not coincide with any subtype of the classification.
El músculo esternal es una variante anatómica que se presenta entre el 3 % y 8 % de la población mundial y su incidencia es mayor en mujeres. Puede hallarse de manera unilateral o bilateral y se localiza en la pared anterior del tórax, donde sus fibras corren paralelas al esternón y superficial a la región medial del músculo pectoral mayor. El objetivo del presente estudio fue cuantificar la incidencia del músculo esternal en la población de Caldas (Colombia). Fueron revisados 68 cadáveres de individuos adultos durante un lapso de doce años, con el fin de determinar el grado de presencialidad del músculo y sus características anatómicas. Dos cadáveres, que equivale al 2,94 % de la muestra, presentaron el músculo esternal, uno de manera unilateral y el otro bilateral, a los cuales se les hizo una descripción anatómica detallada. En la presentación unilateral, el músculo presentó una dirección oblicua que no coincide con ningún subtipo de la clasificación dada para estos músculos. En la presentación bilateral, ambos músculos se continúan por su extremo superior con el respectivo músculo esternocleidomastoideo. Además, el músculo esternal derecho tiene una configuración digástrica, que tampoco coincide con ningún subtipo de la clasificación.

La primera vértebra cervical establece una articulación sinovial con los cóndilos del occipital, sin que haya de por medio disco fibrocartilaginoso. Esta articulación es importante para la anatomía funcional del cuello porque, además de soportar el peso de la cabeza en los humanos, permite movimientos de flexión, extensión e inclinación lateral. La primera vértebra es conocida en la Terminologia Anatomica y en la Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria con el nombre de Atlas [C1]. El nombre de Atlas, asignado a la primera vértebra cervical, fue tomado de uno de los titanes de la mitología griega condenado por el dios Zeus a soportar el cielo con sus manos, cabeza y hombros, y que en términos figurativos es la que sostiene el mundo craneal. Sorprende que en el libro oficial de la Terminologia Anatomica y en el de la Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria se mantenga este epónimo por una simple tradición, constituyéndose en una vergonzosa contradicción que debe ser corregida y eliminada.
The first cervical vertebra establishes a synovial joint with the occipital condyles, without having a fibrocartilaginous disc. This joint articulation is important for the functional anatomy of the neck, because in addition to supporting the weight of the head in humans, it allows movements of flexion, extension and lateral inclination. The first cervical vertebra is known in the Terminologia Anatomica and the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria with the name of Atlas [C1]. The name Atlas, assigned to the first cervical vertebra, was taken from one of the titans of Greek mythology condemned by the god Zeus to support the world with the hands, head, and shoulders, so in figurative terms said vertebra is the one that sustains the cranial world. It is surprising that in the official book of the Terminolgia Anatomica and in the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria this eponymous is maintained by a simple tradition, constituting a shameful contradiction that must be corrected and eliminated.

The crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous) is a wild canid distributed in South America, which is susceptible to traumas caused by captors, accidents on roads, and traps. Due to these events their thoracic limbs can be involved at the level of the forearm, therefore, knowledge of the gross anatomy of its muscles is important in order to develop clinical and surgical procedures at this level compared with the domestic dog. The main objective of this investigation was report the intra and interspecific anatomical variations of the caudomedial forearm muscles in Cerdocyon thous in comparison mainly with the domestic dog. Six dead specimens from wildlife care centres of CORPOCALDAS were used. These were fixed with a solution of formaldehyde, mineral oil and phenic acid. Both thoracic limbs of each specimen were dissected from superficial to deep, emphasizing the caudomedial part of the forearm in order to review the anatomical characteristics of each muscle. These muscles were similar to those reported in the domestic dog, but some variations were observed such as the innervation of the pronator teres muscle by the musculocutaneous nerve in a specimen unilaterally; the formation of an accessory muscle from the ulnar head of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle in most specimens; and the vestigial presence of the anconeus epitrochlearis muscle in a specimen bilaterally.
El zorro perruno (Cerdocyon thous) es un cánido silvestre distribuido en Sudamérica, el cual es susceptible a traumas causados por captores, accidentes en carreteras y trampas, donde pueden verse involucrados sus miembros torácicos a nivel del antebrazo, por lo tanto, conocer la anatomía de sus músculos es importante, ya que ésta servirá como base en la realización de procedimientos clínicos y quirúrgicos a este nivel en comparación con el perro doméstico. El objetivo principal de esta investigación fue reportar las variaciones anatómicas intra e interespecíficas de los músculos caudo-mediales del antebrazo de C. thous en comparación principalmente con el perro doméstico. Se utilizaron seis especímenes muertos bajo la jurisdicción de CORPOCALDAS. Estos se fijaron con una solución en mezcla de formaldehído, aceite mineral y ácido fénico. Se diseccionaron de superficial a profundo los dos miembros torácicos de cada espécimen, haciendo énfasis en la parte caudo-medial del antebrazo para revisar las características anatómicas de cada músculo, las cuales fueron similares a las reportadas al perro doméstico, pero se observó en un espécimen de manera unilateral la inervación al músculo pronador teres por parte del nervio musculocutáneo; en la mayoría de especímenes se observó la formación de un músculo accesorio a partir de la cabeza ulnar del músculo flexor ulnar del carpo; y en un espécimen la presencia vestigial del músculo ancóneoepitroclear.

The crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous) is a wild canid with a wide distribution in South America that is susceptible to traumas due to road kills - an event in which some specimens can survive. Therefore, anatomical studies in their thoracic limbs may be a base for rehabilitation. Six dead specimens were donated by Wildlife Rescue Centre of CORPOCALDAS (Environmental Authority of the Department of Caldas in Colombia), which were then filled with silicone rubber via the common carotid artery, and later fixed with formaldehyde through the external jugular vein. One male was dissected in fresh, and after a week, the others were dissected on the scapular and humeral joint regions. The intrinsic muscles of these regions in the crab-eating fox were homologous to domestic dog, with similar characteristics in terms of shape, origin, insertion, innervation and arterial blood supply. However, the crab-eating fox did have some differences, such as its supraspinatus muscle being conformed by two bellies and attached into the articular capsule of the humeral joint in same manner as the subscapularis muscle, thus conferring greater stability to the humeral. However, the clinical and surgical approaches that must be performed in this region may be homologous to the domestic dog.
Cachorro-do-mato (Cerdocyon thous) é um canideo selvagem amplamente distribuído na América do Sul, susceptível a traumatismos por atropelamentos em rodovias, eventos nos quais alguns animais podem sobreviver. Portanto, estudos anatômicos em seus membros torácicos podem servir como base para sua reabilitação. Seis espécimes mortos foram doados pelo Centro de Resgate de Vida Selvagem da Corporación Autónoma Regional para el Desarrollo de Caldas - CORPOCALDAS, os quais foram preenchidos com borracha de silicone pela artéria carótida comum, e depois fixados com formaldeído através da veia jugular externa. Um macho foi dissecado a fresco e após uma semana, os outros foram dissecados nas regiões da articulação escapular e umeral. Os músculos intrínsecos dessa região no cachorro-do-mato eram homólogos às dos cães domésticos, com características semelhantes na forma, origem, inserção, inervação e suprimento de sangue arterial. No entanto, o cachorro-do-mato apresenta algumas diferenças, como músculo supraespinhal conformado por duas cabeças e unidos na cápsula articular da articulação umeral, da mesma forma que o músculo subescapular, características essas que devem conferir maior estabilidade à articulação do úmero. Apesar disso, as abordagens clínicas e cirúrgicas realizadas nesta região podem ser homólogas ao cão doméstico.

La anatomía macroscópica veterinaria es una rama de la morfología encargada del estudio de las características normales del cuerpo del animal, y para los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje se han utilizado diversos recursos, desde una enseñanza tradicional con cadáveres fijados en formol hasta una complementación con materiales multimedia, exigida por la continua disminución de las horas presenciales en los currículos de medicina veterinaria, por lo tanto, en el presente artículo se muestran diversas metodologías utilizadas tanto en anatomía veterinaria como humana por diversos autores, demostrándonos que cada una tiene ventajas y desventajas pero su integración mejora la comprensión por parte del estudiante, y como autores defendemos esta integración sin alejarnos de la utilización directa del cadáver junto con la aplicación de la terminología anatómica veterinaria actual como principal recurso didáctico en el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje de la anatomía macroscópica.
Veterinary gross anatomy is a branch of morphology aimed at studying the normal characteristics of the animal body. The teaching-learning processes have used various resources, from a traditional teaching cadavers fixed in formalin to a complementation with multimedia materials. As a result of the continued decline of the classroom hours participation in the curricula of veterinary medicine, this article shows a number of methodologies used in both veterinary and human anatomy by various authors. Each one has advantages and disadvantages their integration however, enhances student understanding. As authors we advocate this integration without veering from the use of cadavers and current veterinary anatomical terminology as the main teaching resources in the process of teaching and learning gross anatomy.

La Terminologia Anatomica se usa internacionalmente como referente de los términos propios de la morfología, en la que no se utilizan epónimos, pues no hacen referencia a ningún detalle anatómico ni funcional relevante, pero sí traen a la memoria los nombres de personas, complejizando el aprendizaje y la comunicación. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue estudiar la prevalencia de epónimos usados durante la realización del 18th Congress of International Federation of Associations of Anatomists, realizado en Beijing -China- en el año 2014. Se analizaron aleatoriamente cinco presentaciones orales y las trescientas presentaciones formales en la modalidad de poster durante el congreso, buscando el uso de epónimos. Aunque hubo un porcentaje muy bajo de utilización de epónimos durante el 18th Congress of International Federation of Associations of Anatomists, no se justifica que el comité científico de dicho evento haya aceptado tales trabajos. Quizá esto podría considerarse como un obstáculo a la función que cumple la Federal International Committee on Anatomical Terminology.
The Anatomical terminology is used internationally as a reference of the specific terms of morphology, in which no eponyms are used, because they make no reference to any relevant anatomical or functional detail, but it does bring to mind the names of people, making the learning and communication more difficult. The aim of this work was to study the prevalence of eponyms used during the 18th Congress of International Federation of Associations of Anatomists, held in Beijing in 2014. -China-: five oral presentations were analyzed randomly and the three hundred formal presentations in the poster modality during the congress, seeking the use of eponyms. Although there was a very low percentage of use of eponyms during 18th Congress of International Federation of Associations of Anatomists, is not justified that the scientific committee of the event has accepted such works. Perhaps this could be seen as an obstacle to the role of the Federal International Committee on Anatomical Terminology.

This document is a description of the macroscopic functional anatomy of the ulna bony prominences in the White-footed Tamarin (Saguinus leucopus), a neotropical endemic, and monotypic primate of Colombia. Few studies have been conducted on its anatomy, and thus its ulnar morphology, an essential element for this animal's quadrupedal arboreal locomotion, remains unknown. This study is based on eight specimens, fixed in formalin at 10 % whose ulnas were extracted in order to describe the main bony prominences along with muscular and ligamentous fixation functions. These elements of the locomotor apparatus and the multiple anatomical contours of the ulna of the White-footed Tamarin, exhibit characteristics for positional and articular adjustment with other bones of the forelimb in harmony with the attachments of the muscles, essential for quadrupedal arboreal locomotion.
El presente trabajo es una descripción de la anatomía macroscópica y funcional de los relieves óseos de la ulna del tití gris (Saguinus leucopus), un primate neotropical, endémico y monotípico de Colombia, con escasos estudios sobre su anatomía, y por ende de la morfología ulnar, elemento fundamental para la locomoción cuadrúpeda de este animal arbóreo que permanece desconocida. Para ello, se tomaron como base del estudio ocho especímenes fijados con formalina al 10 % y de ellos se extrajeron sus ulnas, describiendo los principales relieves óseos con sus funciones de fijación muscular y ligamentosa. Estos elementos del aparato locomotor con sus múltiples relieves anatómicos de la ulna del tití gris, presentan características para la adaptación posicional y articular con otros huesos del miembro torácico de manera armónica para la fijación de músculos indispensables en su locomoción cuadrúpeda arbórea.

The Saguinus leucopus is an endemic and monotypic primate of Colombia with quadrupedal arboreal locomotion, but the study of its morphological adaptations are still scarce, therefore the specific knowledge of its muscles will allow to understand these adaptations and to establish better medical and surgical procedures in order to preserve this species. For this purposes, the two forearms of 10 S. leucopus specimens were dissected, they were fixed within a formaldehyde solution, phenic acid and mineral oil mixture. Among the craniolateral muscles of the forearm two muscles were independent for digits IV and V. They presented form, origin and insertion suitable for individual extension of each digit, with innervation and irrigation by the cranial interosseous nerve and the homonymous artery respectively; they show similarities and differences with other primates, it allows to conclude that the development of these muscles could enable a particular anatomical and functional individualization in these digits extension, this feature makes possible its quadrupedal arboreal locomotion.

Para estos fines, se disecaron los dos antebrazos de 10 especímenes de S. leucopus, los cuales fueron fijados con una solución en mezcla de formaldehído, aceite mineral y ácido fénico. Entre los músculos cráneo laterales del antebrazo se encontraron dos músculos independientes para los dígitos IV y V. La forma, el origen y la inserción eran adecuadas para la extensión individual de cada dígito, con la inervación e irrigación por el nervio interóseo craneal y la arteria del mismo nombre respectivamente, presentando similitudes y diferencias con otros primates, lo que permite llegar a la conclusión que el desarrollo de estos músculos podría permitir una individualización anatómica y funcional particular en la extensión de estos dígitos, haciendo posible su locomoción cuadrúpeda arbórea.

Introducción: en la Terminologia Anatomica Internacional se encuentra incluido el término nervio terminal, también conocido como nervio craneal cero; sin embargo no aparece referenciado en los textos de fisiología, lo que denota una disociación entre estos campos del conocimiento de las ciencias básicas. Una integración o acercamiento entre estos dos campos del conocimiento, permitiría una mejor comprensión de la estructura y función de este nervio. Metodología: se revisaron diversos textos y artículos de fisiología para determinar si hay estudios fisiológicos o anotaciones que hagan referencia a la función del nervio terminal y se integraron al conocimiento morfológico existente. Discusión: aunque gran parte de la neuroanatomía macroscópica y la histología del nervio terminal han sido descritas, en el campo de la fisiología existe mucho desconocimiento acerca de este nervio y muchas de sus anotaciones funcionalesse basan en supuestos. No obstante, se ha demostrado que es un pasaje para la migración de neuroblastos, de ahí que su estructura pudiera estar organizada en dospartes: una ahuecada para la migración neuroblástica y otra compacta de elementospara la propagación de potenciales de acción. Conclusión: el nervio terminal está constituido por fibras nerviosas con función autónoma desconocida y, rodeándolo, un compartimiento a manera de conducto migratorio de neuroblastos.
Introduction: in the international Terminologia Anatomica the term nervus terminalisor cranial nerve zero is included. How ever it does not appear, referenced in physiologytexts, which indicates dissociation between these fields of knowledge of basic science. An integration and rapprochement between these two fields of knowledge enable abetter understanding of the structure and function of this cranial nerve. Methodology: many physiology texts and articles were reviewed to determine whether physiological studies or notations referring to nerve terminal function and integrated to the existing morphological knowledge. Discussion: although much of the gross neuroanatomy and histology of the nervus terminalis have been described, in the field of physiology there is much ignorance about this nerve and many of their functional annotations are based on assumptions. How ever, it has proven to be a passage for the migration of neuroblasts, and thus its structure could be organized into two parts: a hollow for neuroblast migration and other elements for propagation of action potentials. Conclusion: the nervus terminalis is composed of nerve fibers with unknown function autonomously and, surrounding it, a compartment by way of conduit migratory neuroblasts.

El zorro perruno (Cerdocyon thous) es el cánido silvestre más común en América del Sur, con una relativa estabilidad poblacional, pero susceptible de ser atropellado y caer en trampas, pudiendo sufrir traumas en sus miembros torácicos, por lo tanto se requiere un conocimiento anatómico específico de sus músculos para intervenciones médicas y quirúrgicas. El objetivo principal de esta investigación fue realizar una descripción anatómica del músculo extensor del I y II dedo del C thous, en la cual, se reporta forma, origen, inserción, inervación e irrigación. Se diseccionaron de superficial a profundo los dos antebrazos de seis especímenes muertos donados por CORPOCALDAS a la Universidad de Caldas. El músculo extensor del I y II dedo en este estudio presentó características anatómicas similares a las reportadas a otras especies pero con una distribución tendinosa variante formando desde tres a cuatro ramas que se distribuyen del I al III dedo, incluso faltando a veces para el III dedo, pero de igual forma presenta una distribución que debe ser conocida para procedimientos que requieran de su conocimiento.
The crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous) is the most common wild canid in South America. With a relative demographic stability, this animal is susceptible of being hit and falling into traps, and can suffer trauma in its thoracic limbs; therefore a specific anatomical knowledge about its muscles is necessary for medical and surgical procedures. The main aim of this research was to describe the anatomy of the extensor muscle of digit I and II of the C. thous reporting form, origin, insertion, innervation and irrigation. The forearms of six donated dead specimens from CORPOCALDAS to Caldas University were dissected from superficial to deep. In this research, the extensor muscle of digit I and II showed similar anatomical features to those reported for other species but with a variant tendinous distribution that forms from three to four branches distributed from digit I to III. Although sometimes this distribution does not exist for the digit III; this similar distribution must be reported for procedures which require this knowledge.

El Saguinus leucopus es un primate neotropical, endémico y monotípico de Colombia, con escasos estudios sobre su anatomía, en especial de sus músculos, siendo estos un elemento fundamental para la locomoción activa de este primate en los árboles. El objetivo del presente estudio fue describir la anatomía macroscópica del músculo braquiorradial del tití gris (Saguinus leucopus), tomando como base del estudio diez especímenes fijados con formalina al 10%, y a cada uno de ellos se les disecó los dos miembros torácicos de superficial a profundo, describiendo la forma, el origen, la inserción, la inervación y la irrigación del músculo braquiorradial. Se concluye que es un músculo que presenta una morfología, que debe contribuir a los movimientos flexores y supinadores del codo, y puede llegar a tener una cabeza accesoria en esta especie.
The Saguinus leucopus is a neotropical, endemic, and monotypic Colombian primate; few studies have been reported about its anatomy, specially about its muscles, this being a fundamental element for the active motion of this primate in the trees. The aim of this study was to describe the gross anatomy of the brachioradialis muscle on the white-footed tamarin (Saguinus leucopus). Ten specimens were included in the study, fixed with formalin at 10% and their thoracic limbs dissected, from the superficial to the deep plane, describing the form, origin, insertion, innervation and irrigation of the Brachioradialis muscle. The conclusion we made is that this muscle represents a morphology and in this way it must contribute to the flexor and supinator elbow movements, and would have an accessory head in this species.

Los bronquios principales son dos tubos respiratorios que se originan de la parte inferior de la tráquea y se proyectan a cada pulmón, permitiendo el paso de aire hacia y desde los bronquíolos. El objetivo de este trabajo fue verificar la inclusión como término morfológico de la pared posterior de los bronquios principales en la Terminologia Anatomica y en los textos de enseñanza de la anatomía macroscópica. Se revisó la Terminologia Anatomica y se comparó con diversos textos y artículos de enseñanza de la anatomía macroscópica, con el fin de verificar si hay descripciones de la pared posterior de los bronquios principales y si ésta se encuentra nominada. No está incluido en la Terminologia Anatomica ningún término para nominar la pared posterior de los bronquios principales, por lo que se propone incluir el término pared membranosa para tales bronquios en la Terminologia Anatomica.
There are two main bronchi breathing tubes originating from the bottom of the trachea and lung projecting to each, allowing passage of air toward and from the bronchioles. The objective of this work was to verify the morphological term inclusion as the back wall of the main bronchus in Anatomic Terminology and texts for teaching gross anatomy. Terminologia Anatomica was analyzed and compared with various texts and journals of gross anatomy teaching, in order to verify if there are descriptions of the posterior wall of the main bronchi and whether it has been nominated. In the Terminologia Anatomica the term for the back wall of the main bronchus is not included. Therefore, it is proposed that the term "membranous wall" for bronchus be included in Terminologia Anatomica.

This study describes the gross functional anatomy of the radius bone of white-footed tamarin (Saguinus leucopus). The study was based on eight specimens fixed with 10% formalin and extracted their radius them, describing the main features of the bony prominences, such as muscle and ligaments attachments and neurovascular pipes. The radius of Saguinus leucopus bony presents some prominences for muscles and ligaments attachments, in addition to the synovial cartilage regions to other parts of the forelimb. The various anatomical contours of the radius of Saguinus leucopus exhibit characteristics typical particular motor functions adapted to the environment of an arboreal quadruped position.
Saguinus leucopus es un primate neotropical, endémico y monotípico de Colombia, con escasos estudios sobre su anatomía, y por ende de la morfología radial, elemento fundamental para la locomoción cuadrúpeda de este animal arbóreo que permanece desconocida. El objetivo fue describir la anatomía macroscópica y funcional de los relieves óseos del radio del titi gris (Saguinus leucopus). Se tomaron como base del estudio ocho especímenes fijados con formalina al 10% y de ellos se extrajeron sus radios, describiendo completamente su anatomía macroscópica. Los principales relieves óseos con sus funciones de fijación muscular y ligamentosa, y canalizaciones neurovasculares. El radio del Saguinus leucopus presenta algunas prominencias óseas fijaciones musculares y ligamentosas, además presenta regiones de cartílago sinovial para articular con otras partes del miembro anterior. Los variados relieves anatómicos del radio del Saguinus leucopus presentan características típicas particulares, adaptadas a funciones motoras para su ambiente propio de una posición arbórea cuadrúpeda.

El Saguinus leucopus es un primate neotropical, endémico y monotípico de Colombia, con escasos estudios sobre su anatomía, cuya morfología humeral permanece desconocida siendo un elemento fundamental para la locomoción cuadrúpeda de este animal arbóreo. El objectivo del presente estudio fue describir la anatomía macroscópica y la función de los relieves óseos del húmero del titi gris Saguinus leucopus. Se tomaron como base del estudio ocho especímenes fijados con formalina al 10% y de ellos se extrajeron sus húmeros, describiendo las principales funciones de los relieves óseos, como fijaciones musculares y canalizaciones neurovasculares. Los variados relieves anatómicos del húmero del titi gris presentan una disposición morfológica coincidente con sus hábitos de locomoción cuadrúpeda arbórea.
The Saguinus leucopus is a neotropical primate, endemic and monotypic of Colombia, with few studies reporting its anatomy. The humeral morphology for this species remains unknown and is a key element for the quadruped locomotion of this arboreal animal. The objective of the present study is to describe the gross anatomy and function of the humerus bone in the White-footed tamarin (Saguinus leucopus). The study was based on eight specimens, fixed in 10% formalin and from which we extracted the humeri, describing the main features of the bony prominences, such as muscle attachments and neurovascular pipes. The various anatomical contours of the humerus of Saguinus leucopus exhibit morphological disposition, matching their arboreal quadrupedal and locomotion habits.
