Recent evidence that the cerebellum is involved in perception and cognition challenges the prevailing view that its primary function is fine motor control. A new alternative hypothesis is that the lateral cerebellum is not activated by the control of movement per se, but is strongly engaged during the acquisition and discrimination of sensory information. Magnetic resonance imaging of the later...

AIM To evaluate whether a modified radiographic view of the femoral neck improves the diagnosis of occult proximal femoral. MATERIALS AND METHODS Prospective study of patients presenting with clinically suspected proximal femoral fractures or who underwent traditional plain radiographic views and the Bristol hip view (a 30-degree angled projection). Six blinded independent observers assessed ...

Standard radiological diagnosis of scaphoid fractures involves four views of the wrist PA, lateral and two obliques. This amount of irradiation may be unnecessary, and previous authors have claimed that two views, Stecher (1937) (PA with 300 angulation towards the elbow giving an elongated view of scaphoid) and lateral, are of equal, or better, diagnostic accuracy. This study was performed to t...

of lumbar spine showing LI, L2, L4, and L5 vertebrae with vestiges of posterior elements ofL3 (arrowed). Note codfish appearance ofL2, L4, and LS. Right: lateral view oflumbar spine showing narrowing ofdisc spaces ofT12 andL I and kyphos between L2 and L4, pseudo-Schmorl's nodes at upper and lower surfaces of T12, and bridging anterio-lateral osteophytes between L2 and L4. Only vestiges ofposte...

In this research, chromatic confocal microscopy with transverse point beam scanning is constructed for three-dimensional surface measurement without longitudinal mechanical translation. In beam scanning chromatic confocal microscopy, the wavelength-to-depth relation and the lateral field of view should be determined considering the beam scanning angle. With the experimental results from a sampl...

TECHNIQUE The Lyon Schuss view (an anteroposterior weight-bearing radiograph taken with the knee in 20–30 degrees flexion) offers greater accuracy in determining moderate to severe loss of joint space compared with the standard weight-bearing view with the knee fully extended3,4. This is particularly so in lateral compartment arthritis where the pattern of disease is different, ie the posterior...

We experienced two cases of atypical lateral dislocations of meniscal bearing in UKA (unicompartmental knee arthroplasty) without manifest symptoms. The dislocated bearing, which jumped onto the wall of tibial components, was found on radiographs in periodic medical examination although they could walk. Two thicker size bearing exchanges were promptly performed before metallosis and loosening o...
