Anatomy of the hip: correlation of coronal and sagittal cadaver cryomicrosections with magnetic resonance images.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is noninvasive and provides images with higher soft tissue contrast than possible with any other imaging modality. Unlike CT which depicts anatomy in the axial plane, MRI is capable of producing images in thin cross sections acquired directly in any plane, usually axial, coronal or sagittal planes. The use of diagnostic MR images is facilitated by an understanding of the detailed anatomy that is depicted. The purpose of this study was to identify anatomical structures in coronal and sagittal cryomicrosections of the hip region. Thin cryosections of the hips of fresh-frozen cadavers were obtained by a method developed by one of the authors (WR). These sections were matched with thin-section, high resolution MR images of a normal volunteer. The complex anatomy of the hip and its surrounding muscles, tendons and ligaments was exquisitely depicted on both the cadaver microcryosections and the matched MRT images.

Genital infections with herpes simplex virus in a university student population.

The frequency of clinically evident genital infections with herpes simplex virus among students attending a large urban public university was studied. One-hundred ninety-eight students experienced 222 episodes of this disease over a one-year period. The mean age of the students, both undergraduate and graduate, with the diagnosis of genital herpes ranged from 23.6 years for those with a single initial episode to 24.9 years for those with recurrent episodes. The male-to-female ratio and socioeconomic class of students with genital herpes were not significantly different from those of the general university population. The incidences of both initial and recurrent episodes of genital herpes were statistically significantly higher during the months of July through October (with the exception of September). Genital herpes was a frequently diagnosed sexually transmitted disease among this student population.
