background differentiating ischemic from nonischemic cardiomyopathy is important both prognostically and therapeutically, although it may be difficult clinically. objectives we aimed to determine the diagnostic power of cardiogoniometry (cgm) in the differentiation of the ischemic from the nonischemic etiology of left bundle branch block (lbbb). patients and methods we studied 37 patients with ...

The technique of polarised light goniometry was used to quantify objectively parameters of the spastic gait during a double-blind cross-over trial comparing the spasmolytic effects of DS103-282, baclofen and placebo. Only minimal objective and subjective changes in gait were found when the results of treatment with DS103-282 or baclofen were compared with those of treatment with placebo.

This study demonstrates amethodwhere contact angle goniometry combinedwith surface tensionmeasurements is used to assess the interactions of drugswith the hydrophobic core of a biologicalmembrane. To this end, self-assembledmonolayers (SAMs) of two alkanethiol and one thiolipid on Au(111) surfaces are used asmodelmembranes and their interactionwith six -blockers is studied. TheGibbs equation an...

BACKGROUND Available information suggests a mismatch between radiographic and orthopedic examination findings in cats with DJD. However, the extent of the discrepancy between clinical and radiographic signs of OA in companion animals has not been described in detail. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between orthopedic examination findings, joint goniometry, and radiographic signs o...

A photo-caged aminooxy alkane thiol synthesized in 7 steps and 15% overall yield was used to form a self-assembled monolayer (SAM). Photo-deprotection on the surface was confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy and contact angle goniometry. Conjugation of a small molecule ketone, ethyl levulinate, further confirmed the presence of aminooxy groups on the surface.

BACKGROUND The clinimetric properties of knee goniometry are essential to appreciate in light of its extensive use in the orthopaedic and rehabilitative communities. Intra-observer reliability is thought to be satisfactory, but the validity and inter-rater reliability of knee goniometry often demonstrate unacceptable levels of variation. This study tests the validity and reliability of measurin...
