introduction: peripheral vascular disease (pvd) is a major cause of morbidity and is associated with coronary artery disease (cad). we aimed to perform lower limb perfusion scan (llps) in patients referred for myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi) and estimate prevalence of pvd in subgroups with normal and abnormal mpi results. we also compared quantitative indices of llps in patients with and wit...

The patterns of muscle mass distribution along the lengths of limbs may have important effects on the mechanics and energetics of quadrupedalism. Specifically, Myers and Steudel (J. Morphol. 234 (1997) 183) have shown that fore- and hindlimb Natural Pendular Periods (NPPs) may affect quadrupedal kinematics and must converge to reduce locomotor energetic costs. This study quantifies patterns of ...

We describe a new species of dicroglossid frog of the Fejervarya limnocharis complex from western Honshu, Japan Mainland. The new species, Fejervarya kawamurai, is genetically closer to F. sakishimensis than to F. limnocharis. It differs from F. sakishimensis by smaller tympanum, head, forelimb, hindlimb, foot, and tibia lengths, all relative to snout-vent length, and from F. multistriata by re...

ternal malleolus ; length 9 inches, breadth 4 inches. The ulcer was the result of a burn received during a fit of epilepsy. On the 2ith of January, 1871, the ulcer being clean in its appearance, with little or no purulent discharge, seven grafts wore planted on its surface; five of which were taken from the lower extremities of the patient himself and two from another patient on whom engrafting...

Background & Aim: Spinal cord injury (SCI) has a very long history, and its cases form a large proportion of patients admitted to trauma centers in Iran. Studies show that repair after spinal cord injury can be done. In fact, many pharmaceutical agents, such as erythropoietin (EPO), are applied to reduce secondary injury following the initial disorder and to maintain the nerve tissue. Methods &...

Muscular strength and power generating ability decline with advancing age. Older adults adapt their lower limb motor patterns to cope with these declines in muscle function. When mechanical demands approach limits of lower limb muscular capacity, motor patterns must be adapted to produce a desired movement. The term “motor pattern” is used to broadly represent the kinematic and kinetic profile ...
