Structural changes in loaded equine tendons can be monitored by a novel spectroscopic technique.
This study aimed to investigate the preferential collagen fibril alignment in unloaded and loaded tendons using elastic scattering spectroscopy. The device consisted of an optical probe, a pulsed light source (320-860 nm), a spectrometer and a PC. Two probes with either 2.75 mm or 300 microm source-detector separations were used to monitor deep and superficial layers, respectively. Equine super...
متن کاملStructural changes and relaxations monitored by luminescence.
Luminescence data have often been used to study imperfections and to characterize lattice distortions because the signals are sensitive to changes of structure and composition. Previous studies have included intentionally added probe ions such as rare earth ions to sense distortions in local crystal fields caused by modified structural environments. An under-exploited extension of this approach...
متن کاملMatrix loaded and unloaded: can tendons grow when exercised?
Matrix loaded and unloaded: can tendons grow when exercised? THIS QUESTION IS PRETTY NAIVE, in that we all know that during overall growth and development connective tissue structures such as bone, ligaments, cartilage, and tendons will enhance their size to match the overall growth of the body (6). Several animal studies have documented that intense loading will enlarge tendon structures (1, 3...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: Symptoms of Gastroesophageal Reflux can be Reduced by Changes in Surgical Technique
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) in obese patients, with the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass being the technique preferred by many surgeons. Published data reporting the results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in patients with GERD are contradictory. In a previous observational study, we found that relative narrowing of t...
متن کاملDoes Diarrhoea Causes Cataract? Can Cataract be Prevented by Aspirin?
Loss of transparency of the lens is termed cataract which is one of the commonest causes of blindness throughout the world. This major health problem appears to be much commoner in many developing countries such as India and Pakistan, where it causes visual disability at a substantially earlier age and several hypotheses have been put forward to explain this higher prevalence in these areas. Re...
