[Purpose] Glenohumeral posterior capsule tightness possibly relates to posterior capsule thickness (PCT). The purpose of the current study was to analyze the relationships between PCT and glenohumeral range of motion (ROM) in horizontal adduction (HAdd) and internal rotation (IR). [Subjects and Methods] This study recruited 39 healthy collegiate baseball players. We measured PCT by using ultras...

Hydroxyapatite deposition disease (HADD), a disease most commonly found in middleaged individuals, is characterized by deposition of calcium phosphate crystals in periarticular tissues. The deposits frequently occur in tendons near their osseous attachments, most commonly involving the supraspinatus tendon. The etiology of HADD is unclear, but may be related to repetitive trauma or metabolic di...

BACKGROUND Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is the most common overuse injury in runners. Recent research suggests that hip mechanics play a role in the development of this syndrome. Currently, there are no treatments that directly address the atypical mechanics associated with this injury. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine whether gait retraining using real-time feedbac...

Hydroxyapatite deposition disease (HADD) represents a multifaceted condition characterized by the accumulation of hydroxyapatite crystals in soft tissues, leading to subsequent inflammation and discomfort. The intricate etiology HADD is subject this comprehensive review, which encompasses an in-depth analysis four proposed pathogenic mechanisms deliberation on predisposing factors that instigat...

PURPOSE Hydroxyapatite deposition disease (HADD) around the hip joint is a self-limiting condition usually treated conservatively. The aim of the present study is to directly compare the outcomes of CT-guided and conservative treatments in cases of refractory hip HADD. METHODS Two groups of patients with refractory hip HADD were prospectively constructed from a pool of 484 patients referred f...

Hydroxyapatite deposition disease (HADD) can affect any location of the body and present with a variety clinical symptoms. Here, we describe three unusual sites involvement HADD around hip as well wrist joint. Magnetic resonance imaging along computed tomography correlation was performed in these cases, which demonstrated calcific deposits their associated soft-tissue inflammatory changes. Its ...

We show that the class of regular time varying systems is invariant under perturbations by time–varying state and input delays. In particular, we give explicit formulas of the resulting input, output, and input–output maps. This result is used to solve the feedback problem for the delayed system. The relationship between the open and the closed loop system is investigated. Our results are appli...

In order to study the hydrolysis, enzymatic or chemical, of the plasma and urinary steroid glucuronides, as well as the biosynthesis, the isolation of the individual 17-oxosteroids is an absolute necessity. Schneider and Lewbart (1959) employed counter-current distribution techniques to isolate several steroid glucuronides. Androsterone glucuronide was isolated by Edwards and Kellie (1956) and ...

Studies on the skin microbiota of amphibians in different disturbed habitats can clarify relationship between composition and environmental factors have practical implications for conservation endangered species. In this study, 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing was used to profile Maoershan hynobiids (Hynobius maoershanensis). Our results illustrate that alpha diversity significantly differed...
