OBJECTIVE To use a musculoskeletal model and simulation of running to examine: (1) the influence of two commonly prescribed treatments for patellofemoral pain (vastus medialis oblique strengthening and orthoses) and (2) the functional significance of timing differences between vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis on lateral patellofemoral joint loads. DESIGN A three-dimensional muscul...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate whether obliquely angled and ring-shaped titanium mesh cage (TMC) end structures can improve the compressive load on the endplate interface in anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF). MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 23 volunteers underwent cervical lateral x-ray. The oblique angle of the superior endplate was measured, which was used to construct t...

The aim of this study was to distinguish the individual bundles of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) using the Chinese Visible Human (CVH) dataset and images obtained by low-field routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the oblique and coronal planes. Sectional anatomical data of the knee were selected from the CVH dataset and reconstructed in 3D. MRI of normal knees was performed with a...

The loci of the load axis at the femoral distal end were compared for specimens of Neolithic Jomon and modern periods, in which mean oblique length of the femur has been shown to differ significantly. In the present study, mean oblique length of the Neolithic Jomon exceeded that for the modern Japanese. However, mean distal end locus in either period was near the median of the lateral condyle w...

Introduction: Background: Radiotherapy of parotid tumors is achieved by different radiotherapy techniques. So they deliver the dose to organs at risk such as contralateral parotid, temporal lobe & spinal cord. The consequences of high dose to OARs are xerostomia, Temporal lobe necrosis and loss of hearing. Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare different treatment tech...

in this paper the problem on “magnetic fluid lubrication of porous-pivoted slider bearing with slip velocity by n ahmad et.al.[7]” has been recapitulated using jenkin’s model [4] with the additional effect of squeeze velocity of the above plate. it is found that while discussing the above problem, [7] has stated but ignored the term , where +, in their study (refer equation(2.2)). this paper re...

Objective – Classically, the missing portions in the oblique projection data acquired from cylindrical scanners are synthesized by forward projecting an estimation of the activity computed from non-oblique data. Another quick and powerful way to perform the estimation of the truncated portions consists in applying Fourier rebinning methods. This paper intends to compare the performances of 3D g...

PURPOSE To compare dose reconstruction accuracy with different oblique beam angles when 2d detector arrays are used for small field IMRT QA. METHODS 2D detector arrays are convenient to use but their low resolution limits the number of sampling points inside small radiation fields. In this study, we demonstrate that with oblique beam incidence, more points can be measured and 3D dose volume c...

The noncentrosomal cortical microtubules (CMTs) of plant cells self-organize into a parallel three-dimensional (3D) array that is oriented transverse to the cell elongation axis in wild-type plants and is oblique in some of the mutants that show twisted growth. To study the mechanisms of CMT array organization, we developed a 3D computer simulation model based on experimentally observed propert...

Oblique sagittal MRI with 3D-FIESTA (3-D fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition) sequences can be obtained through the internal auditory canal (IAC) without relying on multi-planar reconstructions. The high spatial resolution direct sagittal oblique imaging technique is useful for the identification of the four intracanalicular nerves. This work included one case of IAC tumor and two c...
