A 19-year-old male professional Taekwondo athlete presented with a 2-year history of pain-free snapping of his right knee. He reported that his right knee joint gave way during games and training and that he could induce pain-free snapping between the proximal-to-fibular head and the lateral knee joint line. None of these physical findings suggested a meniscal pathology or ligamentous instabili...

due to importance of nitrogen on the agronomic traits of linseed oil, a factorial experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with three replications at the field research station of faculty of agriculture at shahrekord university in 2012. five different treatments of fertilizer including urea, azomin, nitroxin, supernitroplus and control (without nitrogen) as the first factor ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In order to clarify the incidence and evolution of disk displacement in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in children, we performed a longitudinal analysis in 18 subjects. Some investigators have suggested that sonography can provide information about the articular disk position of the TMJ. The purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of sonography f...

capsular contraction is a frequent complication following breast augmentation. on the other hand, capsular weakness, a not widely recognized complication, may occur around the implant. a weak capsule allows the migration of the prosthesis to the lateral region of the thoracic region or inferiorly, towards the abdomen, due to gravitational forces. the cause of capsular weakness remains unresolve...

We compared the age-related morphology of the cricothyroid (CT) joint with that of the cricoarytenoid (CA) joint using 18 specimens from elderly cadavers in terms of their elastic fiber contents as well as the cells composing the joint capsule and synovial tissues. In contrast to an almost flat-flat interface in the CT joint, the CA joint was similar to a saddle joint. The CA joint capsule was ...

The fibers of the pyramidal tract (PT) that connect the precentral and postcentral gyrus with the spinal cord are organized in a topological manner. However, their exact arrangement and orientation in the internal capsule is still a matter of debate. Here, we applied magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging and tract tracing techniques to determine and compare the pyramidal fibers from the p...

We report a case of double-layered lateral meniscus, where an accessory proximal hemimeniscus was overlying the body and posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. It lay 1-2 mm proximal and parallel to the normal lateral meniscus with its periphery attached to the capsule and was significantly thinner and more mobile than its underlying counterpart. The accessory hemimeniscus was resected arthros...

introduction: functional ankle instability has described as a “feeling of giving way”. balance control deficit is one of the sensorimotor impairments observed in people with functional ankle instability that has been described to damage to the afferent receptors within the ligaments and joint capsule that affected during sprain. foot orthosis can improve balance control via enhanced sensory aff...

Lens fiber cells are transparent, highly elongated, epithelial cells. Because of their unusual length these cells represent a novel model system to investigate aspects of epithelial cell polarity. In this study, we examined the fiber cell basal membrane complex (BMC). The BMC anchors fiber cells to the lens capsule and facilitates their migration across the capsule. Confocal microscopy revealed...
