Calcific tendinitis of the peroneus longus tendon is extremely rare, with only two cases described previously in the literature. Herein we discuss the diagnosis and management of a case with an acute calcific tendonitis of peroneus longus tendon.

Rice bran application just after transplanting has been increasingly practiced as a herbicide-substitute for organic rice production in Korea. However, this practice is frequently reported to be unsatisfactory in weed suppression. An experiment with five treatments that combine flooding depth (shallow and deep), rice bran application level (low and high), and herbicide application was carried o...

  Abstract   Background: The pathophysiology of carpal tunnel syndrome is associated with   increased intracarpal canal pressure. Recently, palmaris longus has been introduced   as an independent risk factor for the development of carpal tunnel syndrome. The   purpose of this study was to assess the association of carpal tunnel syndrome with   the presence of palmaris longus tendon and function...

A multivariate analysis of morphometric data suggests that the nominally pleioxenous ectoparasite, Androlaelaps rotundus, includes at least three distinct host-associated populations in Paraguay. Where multiple akodontine hosts occur sympatrically, each host species is accompanied by a morphologically distinct mite population. These host-mite associations were consistent across all localities, ...

Summary The name Cyperus atronervatus subsp. angustifolius was not validly published due to the omission of a Latin diagnosis. is here.

1. Rats were treated with dexamethasone for 4 days before measurement of the rates of lactate formation [which is an index of hexose transport; see Challiss, Lozeman, Leighton & Newsholme (1986) Biochem. J. 233, 377-381] and glycogen synthesis in response to various concentrations of insulin in isolated incubated soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscle preparations. 2. The concentration of ...

BACKGROUND The palmaris longus (PL) muscle is characterised by high morphological diversity, and its tendon crosses the median nerve (MN) at different levels. Due to the fact that the palmaris longus tendon is routinely harvested for reconstruction of other tendons, knowledge of its morphological variations is clinically important. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to suggest a new morpho...
