Abstract:

Introduction: The knee joint space is seen on anteroposterior radiograph as a radiolucent area between lower end of femur and upper end of tibia which is an indirect way of evaluating the knee cartilage thickness. Objective: This study was aimed to determine the knee joint space in the medial and lateral compartments of the knee joint using digital radiograph. Methodology : This was cross-sectional study. It consisted of digital radiographs of knee joint of 320 individuals. The medial and lateral joint space width of each knee joint was measured using the scale in the computerized software. Results: The mean values for medial and lateral joint space widths were found to be 6.11±1.57 mm and 7.92±1.66 mm of the right knee joint respectively and 5.99±1.47 mm and 8.18±1.69 mm of the left knee joint respectively. In males, mean values for joint space widths were 6.37±1.58 mm on medial side and 8.21±1.67 mm on lateral side of the right knee; and 6.24±1.56 mm on medial side and 8.33±1.64 mm on lateral side of the left knee. In Females, these values were 5.89±1.53 mm on medial side and 7.66±1.62 mm on lateral side of the right knee; and 5.79±1.37 mm on medial side and 8.06±1.72 mm on lateral side of the left knee. Conclusions: It was concluded that the lateral joint space was greater than the medial joint space in both knees. The joint space widths were found to be reasonably constant with increasing age among studied population.

Abstract:

The term ›Post-digital culture‹ describes a condition where digitality is deeply embedded not only into the medial aspects of everyday life, but also into the infrastructural and material layers of culture. The conditions of processes of subjectivation are transformed through the digital designs on multiple levels. Aesthetic education is discussed as a particular doorway to relate to transformations of the sensual, medial and material conditions of subjectivation through digital designs.

Abstract:

Die Veränderlichkeit und Endlichkeit von Körpern im lebenslangen Alterungsprozess und die gesellschaftlichen Verhältnisse, die diese prädisponieren, adressiert der vorliegende Artikel mit einem Fokus auf Nähebeziehungen im pandemischen Kontext. Materialbasis sind virtuell geführte Gruppendiskussionen mit Menschen zwischen 60 und 80 Jahren. Dabei bildete der virtuelle Raum einen medial vermittelten Begegnungsraum, um Körper retrospektiv (neu) zu lesen. Die erzählten »Körperbiografien« stellen dabei Aushandlungen des alternden Subjekts im Kontext der pandemischen Situiertheit und Handlungsfähigkeit dar. Die Einschränkungen durch die Reglementierungen und Lockdowns, die Konstruktion als Risikogruppe und die daraus resultierende Wahrnehmung von Körperlichkeit wurde von den Teilnehmer*innen in ihrer Ambivalenz reflektiert. Nähebeziehungen werden dabei in besonderer Weise adressiert – durch die Abwesenheit körperlicher Nähe, die Erfahrung von Nähe in virtuellen Räumen und in Form von reflexiven, biografischen (Selbst-)Begegnungen, die sich zwischen Selbstversicherung und transformativen Selbstbildungsprozessen aufspannen.

Abstract:

In bovines, fore and hind lateral claws are larger than the medial claws and the heel are deeper and the sole thicker. On this anatomical basis, we hypothesized that it must imply a form (size+shape) asymmetry of the digits. To test this hypothesis, we studied the acropodiums (digital series) of 15 young bovines belonging to Brown Pyrenean breed, irrespective of the gender. Dorso-plantar radiographies were obtained for each hindlimb and the form was studied in a sample of 30 hindlimbs (15 right and 15 left). Images were studied by geometric morphometric methods. A set of 7 paired landmarks on medial and lateral digital series and one axial landmark was used for the study. Lateral and medial digits were uneven both in size and shape, expressing both fluctuating and directional asymmetries. Directional asymmetries would suggest a different function in weight bearing. We hypothesize lateral digits serve to stabilize the centre of gravity to a greater extent than medial digits. These findings prompt careful reassessment of the function of each of the digital series during standing and during locomotion in future researches.

Abstract:

Digital media are pervasive, ubiquitous and mundane constituents of organization. Organized life relies on, and is propelled by, technologies that store, transmit and process data and are based on networked computation. How can we understand and explore the fundamental mediatedness of organization? This article contextualizes and introduces the special issue on ‘The organizational powers of (digital) media’ by staging an encounter between organization theory and media theory. In provoking investigations of the power and effects of technological mediation in its many guises, not least in regard to digital or computational media, this encounter ushers in a ‘medial thought’ of organization.

Abstract:

The purposes of this study were to describe the most applicable approach of manus blockade in camel using ultrasound-guided techniques. The study was performed on 40 forelimbs of 20 apparently healthy mature freshly slaughtered camels. Limbs were randomly allocated into 3 phases of the study. Phase-I (n=8 limbs): dissection of both dorsal and palmar aspects to identify the topographical anatomy of the target nerves. Phase-II (n=8 limbs): dissection after US guided needle insertion to confirm the needle insertion position. Phase-III (n=24 limbs): US-guided methylene blue injection using one of three volumes (3, 5, or 7 mL) to establish the ideal injection volume. Our results revealed that the dorsal aspect of manus received its innervation from dorsal common digital nerves II and III (DCDN-II & III) and dorsal common digital nerve IV (DCDN-IV). The palmar aspect of manus was received its innervation from the palmar common digital nerve IV (PCDN-IV) and the median nerve. Under Ultrasonographic guidance, the most applicable approach for blocking the DCDN-II & III is at the dorsomedial aspect at about 8-10 c.m below the carpometacarpal joint (CMJ) and 2 cm medial to CDET. Blocking of the DCDN-IV is performed at the dorsolateral aspect at about 8-10 c.m below the CMJ and 2 cm lateral to CDET. Blocking the PCDN IV was performed at the lateral and palmar aspect at about 10-12 c.m below the accessory carpal bone (ACB) and 5 cm palmar to the imaginary line bisect the forelimb longitudinally from lateral to medial. Blocking the median nerve was performed at the proximal third of medial and palmar aspect of metacarpal bone at about 10-12 c.m below the ACB and about 5 cm palmar to the same imaginary line. In conclusion, four point blockade of the manus region in dromedary cadavers can be achieved by US-guided injection of the DCDN-II, III, DCDN-IV, PCDN-IV, and the median nerve.

Abstract:

Background: Fractures of the talus are a rare but challenging injury. This study sought to quantify the area of osseous exposure afforded by a posteromedial approach to the talus and medial malleolar osteotomy. Methods: Five fresh-frozen cadaveric lower extremities were dissected using a posteromedial approach and medial malleolar osteotomy respectively. Following exposure, the talar surfaces directedly visualized were marked and captured using a calibrated digital image. The digital images were then analyzed using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health) to calculate the surface area of the exposure. Results: The average square area of talus exposed using the posteromedial approach was 9.70 cm2 (SD = 2.20, range 7.20-12.46). The average quantity of talar exposure expressed as a percentage was 9% (SD = 1.58, range 7.03-10.40). The average square area of talus exposed using a medial malleolar osteotomy was 14.32 cm2 (SD = 2.00, range 11.26-16.66). The average quantity of talar exposure expressed as a percentage was 12.94% (SD = 1.79, range 9.97-14.73). The posteromedial approach provided superior visualization of the posterior talus, whereas the medial malleolar osteotomy offered greater access to the medial body. Conclusion: The posteromedial approach and medial malleolar osteotomy allow for significant exposure of the talus, yielding 9.70 and 14.32 cm2, respectively. Given the differing portions of the talus exposed, surgeons may prefer to use the posteromedial approach for operative fixation of posterior process fractures and elect to use a medial malleolar osteotomy in cases requiring more extensive medial and distal exposure for neck or neck/body fractures. Level of Evidence: Level IV.

Abstract:

SummaryIntroduction: Accurate description of the calcaneal insertions of the superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) is lacking and inconsistent. The aim of this study was to undertake morphologic and morphometic evaluations of these structures to assist in elucidating their functional and pathogenic roles in displacement of the SDFT from the calcaneal tuber.Method: Dissections were performed on 10 normal cadaveric hindlimbs. The anatomy was photographed to allow measurements at repeatable locations and differences in SDFT dimensions at the various locations were compared using a paired student t-test.Results: This study demonstrated that the calcaneal insertions of the SDFT are independent from the overlying tarsal insertions of the biceps femoris and semitendinosus, which blend into the plantar surface of the fibrocartilaginous cap (FCC) of the SDFT before inserting dorsal to the insertion of the SDFT on the calcaneal tuber. The lateral insertion of the SDFT is larger in cross-sectional area (median: 219 mm2) at its origin from the FCC than its medial counterpart (median: 159 mm2, p = 0.004) and has a more complex fibre alignment. The lateral site of attachment of the SDFT on the calcaneal tuber is dorsolateral to the insertion of the gastrocnemius tendon and is larger (median: 525 mm2) than the medial insertion (median: 428 mm2, p = 0.036), which inserts distal to the insertion of the gastrocnemius tendon.Conclusion: The features identified in this study suggest that the calcaneal insertions of the SDFT are complex and their morphological and morphometric differences are likely to contribute to clinical lesions identified at this site.

Abstract:

SummaryLuxation of the superficial digital flexor muscle tendon (SDFMT) is a rarely reported condition in dogs, and tendon tear concurrent with SDFMT luxation had never been reported. Abnormal conformation of both calcanei and strenuous activity were suspected as contributing factors in this case. Bilateral medial SDFMT luxation was surgically treated with bursa medial incision release, redundant lateral bursa excision and apposition to the edge of the SDFMT with nonabsorbable sutures. The unilateral longitudinal tendon tear of the SDFMT associated with medial SDFMT luxation was successfully treated with horizontal mattress sutures, and a good outcome was reported for both hindlimbs.

Abstract:

Abstract Digital overgrowth has been documented as one of the most common foot abnormalities observed in U.S. commercial sow breeding herds and often leads to lameness and culling. Previous research has reported that 8.2% of lactating sows had digital overgrowth. When examining a 3,500 gestating sows, at least 32% were scored with moderate or severe digital overgrowth. Digital overgrowth negatively impacts piglet pre-wean mortality, lower NBA, and lower weaning weights. In addition to the digital overgrowth, sows have increased risk for cracked hooves and other hoof lesions. The objective of this study was to characterize a true standard (mm) for digital overgrowth and to determine if varying toe cell structure contributes to toe overgrowth. Initially, 2 crossbred sows that visually exhibited digital overgrowth were evaluated into this case study. Sows were euthanized at the Iowa State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. Sow toe measurements were collected from the tip of the toe to the coronary band that is anatomically located at the sagittal line. Medial and lateral toe measurements were recorded for each limb. The mean toe measurements were front right limb: lateral digit (LD; 40 mm), medial digit (MD; 40 mm); front left limb: LD (36.5 mm), MD (38.5 mm); hind right limb: LD (73.5 mm), MD (49 mm); hind left limb: LD (50.5 mm), MD (50 mm). Dew claw and histopathological evaluations are in progress.

Abstract:

Nasal bone osteotomies are commonly performed in rhinoplasty to manipulate the upper third of the nose. In patients with a dorsal hump, reduction is often performed, followed by lateral osteotomies to medialize the nasal bone complex. However, fracture patterns are often unknown in vivo. We intend to map nasal bone osteotomies and describe a novel and minimally invasive method of performing medial scoring osteotomies to improve fracture patterns and surgical speed, and decrease complications. In total, 19 formalin-fixed cadavers were dissected to reveal nasal bone architecture. The nasal dorsum (bony and cartilaginous) was reduced to form an open roof deformity. Osteotomies were then performed on all 19 specimens, followed by digital infracture. Medial scoring osteotomies were performed unilaterally, along with a lateral osteotomy. On the contralateral side, only lateral osteotomies were performed. Fracture patterns were mapped and compared. Of 19 cadaver specimens, 38 sides were examined in total: 19 sides underwent medial scoring and 19 sides served as controls. Fracture patterns were linear with less comminution on sides with medial scoring osteotomies. Sides with medial scoring osteotomies also achieved uniform closure of the open roof deformity, compared with 73% in sides without. Rocker deformity was not seen in either group. Osteotomies are integral to nasal dorsum reduction and modification of the upper third of the nose in rhinoplasty. Scoring of the medial nasal bone prior to lateral osteotomy and digital infracture allows for an increased rate of open roof closure. Furthermore, medial scoring osteotomies create smooth, linear fracture patterns that prevent bony spicules, comminution, and irregularities that may be evident in patients with thin nasal skin. Performing the medial scoring osteotomy is a fast, safe method of achieving consistent nasal bone infracture during rhinoplasty.

Abstract:

Medial mandibular flexure (MMF) is the functional approximation of hemi-mandibles in jaw opening and protrusion, which may affect conventional or implant-supported arch prostheses. OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the intra- and inter-rater reliability of a digital image method for linear measurement of MMF in dentate subjects. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Mandibular occlusal impressions in vinyl polysiloxane during rest and maximum opening were obtained from seven adult volunteers. Each impression and the Mitutoyo digital calipers with a 10mm opening were scanned at a 200% magnification. The images were processed using Adobe Photoshop software to get reference points on contralateral first molars. Linear intermolar measurements were taken using the Image Tool software (UTHSCSA), which was calibrated with the standard opening of the digital calipers. Intermolar distance was measured in triplicate for each image by two independent examiners. MMF was calculated by subtracting the intermolar distance in maximum opening (or protrusion) from the distance in rest position. Data were analyzed by intraclass correlation (ICC) tests for estimating intra- and inter-rater reliability. RESULTS: MMF values ranged from -0.21 to 0.44mm. Intra-rater ICCs were 0.982 and 0.993, and inter-rater ICC was 0.696. CONCLUSION: The present results show excellent intra-rater and good inter-rater reliability of this digital image method for measuring MMF in dentate subjects.

Abstract:

Summary Objectives: A central point for quantitative evaluation of pathological and healthy voices is the analysis of vocal fold oscillations. By means of digital High Speed Glottography (HGG), vocal fold oscillations can be recorded in real time. Recently, a numerical inversion procedure was developed that allows the extraction of physiological parameters from digital high speed videos and a classification of voice disorders. The aim of this work was to validate the inversion procedure and to investigate the applicability to normal voices. Methods: High speed recordings were performed during phonation within a group of five female and five male persons with normal voices. By using knowledge based image processing algorithms, motion curves of the vocal folds were extracted at three different positions (dorsal, medial, ventral). These curves were used to obtain physiological voice parameters, and in particular the degree of symmetry of the vocal folds based upon a biomechanical model of the vocal folds. Results: The highest degree of symmetry was observed for the medial motion curves. While the dor-sally and ventrally extracted motion curves exhibited similar results concerning the degree of symmetry the performance of the algorithm was less stable. Conclusions: The inversion algorithm provides reasonable results for all subjects when applied to the medial motion curves. However, for dorsal and ventral motion curves, correct performance is reduced to 85 %.

Abstract:

Category: Ankle; Hindfoot; Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Fractures of the talus contain a variety of morphologies including the head, neck, body, dome, lateral process, posterior process, and medial/lateral tubercles. Specifically, the posterior medial approach is useful for surgical fixation of posterior process fractures. The use of the medial malleolar osteotomy is beneficial in more extensive medial and distal exposure for neck or neck/body fractures. The purpose of this study was to quantify the area of osseous exposure afforded by a posteromedial approach to the talus and medial malleolar osteotomy. We believe this can be potentially useful for preoperative planning. To the authors' knowledge, a quantitative comparison of the talar access afforded by these two distinct approaches has yet to be described in the literature. Methods: Five fresh frozen cadaveric lower extremities were dissected using a posteromedial approach and medial malleolar osteotomy respectively. Following exposure, the talar surfaces directedly visualized and demarcated along its boarders using a 2.0 mm drill bit orthogonal to the talar surface. The surface visualized was labeled and captured using a calibrated digital image. The digital images were then analyzed using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD) to calculate the surface area of the exposure. Results: The average square area of talus exposed using the posteromedial approach was 9.70 (SD = 2.20, range 7.20 - 12.46) cm2. The average quantity of talar exposure expressed as a percentage was 9% (SD = 1.58, range 7.03 - 10.40). The average square area of talus exposed using a medial malleolar osteotomy was 14.32 (SD 2.00, range 11.26 - 16.66) cm2. The average quantity of talar exposure expressed as a percentage was 12.94% (SD = 1.79, range 9.97 - 14.73). The posteromedial approach provided superior visualization of the posterior talus, while the medial malleolar osteotomy offered greater access to the medial body. Conclusion: The posteromedial approach and medial malleolar osteotomy allow for significant exposure of the talus, yielding 9.70 cm2 and 14.32 cm2, respectively. Given the differing portions of the talus exposed, surgeons may prefer to utilize the posteromedial approach for surgical fixation of posterior process fractures and elect to use a medial malleolar osteotomy in cases requiring more extensive medial and distal exposure for neck or neck/body fractures.

Abstract:

SummaryObjectives: To determine the frequency and radiographic aspect of medial humeral epicondylar lesions as a primary or concomitant finding and to evaluate the association with osteoarthritis.Methods: Medical records of dogs diagnosed with elbow lameness were reviewed. Inclusion criteria for this study were a complete clinical examination, a complete set of digital radiographs and a final diagnosis made by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging and arthroscopy. Changes of the medial humeral epicondyle were recorded and correlated with the radiographic osteoarthritis and final diagnosis.Results: Eighty of the 200 elbows showed changes of the medial humeral epicondyle. In 12 of these 80 elbows, changes of the medial epicondyle were the only findings within the joint, and these elbows were diagnosed with primary flexor enthesopathy. In the remaining 68 elbows, other concomitant elbow pathologies were found. In those cases of concomitant epicondylar changes, high grades of osteoarthritis were recorded, while most elbows with primary flexor enthesopathy showed a low grade of osteoarthritis.Clinical significance: Changes of the medial humeral epicondyle are often considered clinically unimportant and are regarded as an expression of osteoarthritis. This study showed the relatively frequent presence of epicondylar changes of which the majority were considered concomitant to a primary elbow problem. If changes of the medial humeral epicondyle are the only pathologic finding (primary flexor enthesopathy) they should be considered as the cause of lameness and not as a sign of osteoarthritis.

Abstract:

Radiographic photodensitometry has been used to track changes in bone mineral content in the distal limb of horses through traditional film radiographs. With increasing popularity of digital radiographs, the technique has been adapted for digital technology. The objective of this study was to validate and describe the analysis of digital radiographs and to compare traditional densitometric analysis to digital analysis. Twelve traditional and 12 digital radiographs were taken of the left third metacarpal (MCIII) of 12 horses with an aluminium stepwedge penetrometer attached to the radiographic cassette. Both medial-lateral and dorsal-palmar views were represented. The traditional and digital radiographs were each analysed using two different methods to compare results. Analysis involved determining optical density at each step of the aluminium stepwedge, plotting optical density verses mm Al, and then determining the equation of the subsequent line. The optical density of each cortice was inserted into the equation and radiographic bone aluminium equivalents (RBAE) in mm Al for each cortice was determined. Total RBAE was also examined 1 cm distal to the nutrient foramen of the MCIII. Data were analysed using Proc CORR (SAS v. 9.1) and are reported as mean ± standard deviation. Total RBAE on the dorsal-palmar view from traditional radiographs averaged 286±154 mm Al for digital analysis and 292±173 mm Al for densitometric analysis (R2=0.98). Total RBAE on medial-lateral view from the digital radiographs averaged 539±137 mm Al for digital analysis and 530±165 mm Al for densitometric analysis (R2=0.95). The results demonstrate high correlations between analyses, thereby validating that digital analysis yields similar results as densitometric analysis. Digital radiographs, with increased clarity as compared to traditional films, should allow greater ability to detect treatment differences in research trials, and monitor changes associated with training or nutrition.

Abstract:

We sought to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes in patients treated with a medial displacement transverse osteotomy of the second metatarsal to correct transverse hammer toe deformities. Eighteen patients underwent 20 procedures in 3 years. Each patient had a transverse plane deformity of the second metatarsophalangeal joint. Evaluation consisted of clinical examination, radiographic examination, and self-reported pain and function parameters. Mean ± SD follow-up was 2.5 ± 1.0 years. Radiographic joint congruence improved from 20% before surgery to 95% after surgery. Clinical examination revealed a rectus digit in 85% of cases, a transverse plane deviation in 10%, and a residual hammer toe deformity in 5%. At follow-up, the mean ± SD visual analog scale score for pain with activity was 2.2 ± 2.8 and for pain at rest was 0.6 ± 1.4. Ninety-five percent of the patients said that they would undergo the procedure again. Medial displacement osteotomy for transverse plane deformity of the second metatarsophalangeal joint is a reliable procedure, with substantial improvement in joint congruence and self-reported pain.

Abstract:

Because digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is not an ideal angiographic examination for moyamoya disease in the pediatric population, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) provides a noninvasive contrast-free angiographic examination; whereas magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides superior spatial resolution and soft-tissue contrast for lesion assessment. Ninety patients with moyamoya disease were examined by MRI and DSA to assess the distribution of lesions and their diagnostic agreement between modalities. MRI examination revealed 439 lesions. Punctate lesions were the most abundant, followed by patchy lesions. These lesions generally covered a smaller area than the abnormal-vascular corresponding brain parenchyma. Steno-occlusive changes at bilateral anterior, medial, and posterior cerebral arteries were identified by MRA and DSA. MRI showed moderate agreement in identifying lesions after steno-occlusive changes in anterior and medial cerebral arteries, and good agreement in posterior cerebral arteries; 6% to 11% of cases were misdiagnosed by MRA.

Abstract:

Background: The concept of angiosome explains the anatomical variations that exist between the vessels of different regions of the body and helps to understand the contributions of arterial blood supply to the skin and adjacent structures, dividing the human body into three-dimensional vascular blocks.Methods: This was an observational and descriptive study. In both lower extremities of 5 corpses with adequate tissue preservation in the operating room attached to the teaching area of the National Institute of Forensic Sciences in Mexico City. Angiosome study of the medial neurocutaneous flap of the second toe of both feet was performed.Results: The average, in centimeters, of the surface of the flaps was 1.57 cm x 2.47 cm, the average diameter of the inter-metatarsal digital artery was 1.1 millimeters and the average diameter of the veins draining the angiosome was 1.4 millimeters. The most constant anatomy was that of the nerve, which was present in all cases, with the digital nerve forming the neurosome of the flap.Conclusions: To obtain optimal results in microsurgery transfers, it is necessary to have a technique that is quick for harvesting the flap and with adequate systematization so as not to injure the neurovascular bundle, this is achieved through complete anatomical knowledge, without forgetting the main variants.

Abstract:

Seventy-one cadaveric feet were dissected, with attention to communicating branches of the digital nerves, the diameters of the digital nerves, the distance between the metatarsal heads, and the presence or absence of interdigital neuromas. A communicating branch was absent in 52 feet (73.2%) and present in 19 specimens (26.8%). The communication was from the fourth to the third web space common digital nerve (i.e., from the lateral to the medial plantar nerve) in 11 specimens. A reverse communication, from the third to the fourth web space common digital nerve (i.e., from the medial to the lateral plantar nerve), was present in eight specimens. Neuromas were identified in the second web space in 26 specimens and in the third web space in 32 feet. The common digital nerve to the third web space was not thicker in feet with a contribution from the fourth to the third web space nerve. Additionally, the incidence of third web space neuroma in feet with this type of communication was not significantly greater than in those feet without an internervous communication. However, the intermeta-tarsal head distances and the ratios of the intermetatarsal head distance to the digital nerve diameter in web spaces 2 and 3 were significantly smaller in comparison to spaces 1 and 4 ( P < .05). The morphometric data lend support to theories that explain the propensity for neuroma formation in both the second and third web spaces on a mechanical basis. The data do not support those theories that explain an increased incidence of third web space neuroma formation based on a communication from the fourth to the third web space digital nerve.

Abstract:

AbstractFast-myosin in frozen histological sections of eight, 10, 11 and nine muscles of the upper forelimb, lower forelimb, upper hindlimb and lower hindlimb, respectively, of goats was quantified by an immunohistochemical micromethod based on the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The structure of the muscles is well preserved during the immunohistochemical measurement. High fast-myosin levels (more than 201 mg/g total protein) were observed in the triceps brachii (lateral head), rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, semitendinosus, semimembranosus, gastrocnemius (lateral head) and long digital extensor muscles. In contrast, low fast-myosin levels (less than 50 mg/g) were found in the triceps brachii (medial head), superficial digital flexor, vastus intermedialis, and soleus muscles. Fast-myosin-positive fibres (type II or fast-twitch type) were distributed more in the superficial regions than in the deeper regions in the triceps brachii (lateral and long heads), biceps brachii, brachialis, biceps femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, semimembranosus and gastrocnemius (lateral and medial heads) muscles. In contrast, type IIfibres were distributed more in the deeper regions than in the superficial regions in the extensor carpi radialis, deep digital flexor, cranial tibial, deep digital flexor and superficial digital flexor muscles. When the results obtained by the immunohistochemical micromethod were compared with those obtained by biochemical techniques and by histomorphometrical analyses, high correlations were noted. This technique could be used in research projects to study the muscle characteristics that determine meat quality.

Abstract:

Objective To compare the knee shape and bone parameters between knee prosthesis products from overseas companies and a Chinese patient’s knee, and to apply the anatomical basis for Chinese knee prosthesis design. Methods Three-dimensional digital models were built, including prosthesis products for a normal adult. The relevant anatomy index was measured, and physical parameter, radiographic, geometric, knee kinematic, and distal geometry data were collected on the femur and tibia. Results The width of the femoral condyle (WFC), width of the medial femoral condyle (WMFC), width of the lateral femoral condyle (WLFC), depth of the intercondylar fossa (DICF), sagittal length of the medial femoral condyle (SLMFC), sagittal length of the lateral femoral condyle (SLLFC), angle of the medial femoral condyle (AMFC), and angle of the lateral femoral condyle (ALFC) in the femur and the transverse diameter (ML) and anteroposterior diameter (AP) of the tibial bone were measured. These parameters were significantly lower in the normal group compared with the prosthesis product model group. Conclusion When using an imported knee prosthesis, the osteotomy angle may not fit perfectly. Use of an imported prosthesis may be an important factor in the increasing failure of knee arthroplasty in China.

Abstract:

In this study, dissemination of forelimb’s nerves of the porcupine (Hystrix cristata) was investigated. Four porcupines (two males and two females) were used and nerves originating from brachial their plexus were dissected. Origin and dissemination of forelimb’s nerves orginated from brachial plexus constituted from cranial and caudal trunks were examined. Suprascapular nerve and the first branch of subscapular nerve orginated from cranial and caudal part of cranial trunk, respectively. Nerves orginated from caudal trunk, pectoral cranial nerves, constituted four branches spreading in pectoral muscles. Musculocutenoeus nerve gives a branche to brachial muscle and, after giving medial cutaneus antebrachii nerve was divided to two branches (digital dorsal commun I and II nerve). Axillary nerve gives a branche to subscapular muscle and ends as cranial cutaneous antebrachii. Radial nerve separated to branches as ramus profundus and ramus superficial which also was divided to digital dorsal commun III and IV nerve and lateral cutaneus antebrachial nerve. Thoracodorsal nerve spreaded to latismus dorsi muscle. Median nerve was divided to digital dorsal commun I, II, III and IV nerve. Ulnar nerve was divided to digital dorsal commun V and digital dorsal commun V nerve after giving caudal cutaneous antebrachi. An undefined nerve branche orginated from caudal trunk entered corachobrachial muscle and biceps brachii muscle. Lateral thoracic and caudal pectoral nerves orginated from caudal trunk. In the porcupine, branche which goes to corachobrachial muscle directly from caudal trunk of the brachial plexus and distrubutions of musculocutaneous, radial, ulnar and median nerves were different from rodantia and other mammals.

Abstract:

Background/Aim. Studies of visible (extrasulcal) surface of the brain hemispheres are not feasible for measurements of the brain size, but are valuable for analysis and quantification of sexual dimorphism and/or asymmetries of the human brain. Morphological and morphometric investigations of the brain may contribute in genetic studies of the human nervous system. The aim of this study was to determine and to quantify sexual dimorphism and the right/left morphological asymmetry of the visible surface of medial frontal gyrus (gyrus frontalis medialis - GFM). Methods. Measurements and analysis of the visible surface of GFM were done on 84 hemispheres (42 brains from the persons of both sexes: 26 males and 16 females, 20-65 years of age). After fixation in 10% formalin and dissection, digital morphometric measurements were performed. We studied these in relation to the side of the hemisphere and the person's sex. Standardized digital AutoCAD planimetry of the visible surface of GFM was enabled by the use of coordinate system of intercommissural line. Results. In the whole sample, the visible surface of the right GFM (21.39 cm2) was statistically significantly greater (p < 0.05) than the left GFM (18.35 cm2) indicating the right/left asymmetry of the visible surface of GFM. Also, the visible surface of the right GFM in the males (22.66 cm2) was significantly greater (p < 0.05) than in the females (19.35 cm2), while the difference in size of the left GFM between the males and the females was not significant (p > 0.05). Conclusion. Morphological analysis of visible surface of GFM performed by digital planimetry showed sexual dimorphism of the visible surface and the presence of right/left asymmetry of GFM.

Abstract:

This paper examines the infrastructure of digital libraries and teases out the subtle ways their formation and construction is a digital extension and representation of the social, political, and institutional circumstances by which they are created. Building off lessons learned from UCLA Library Special Collections as a case study site, this paper proposes a classification of digital emergence that provides more transparency about how digital surrogates come to exist in digital libraries and how we can use this information to better contextualize the importance of these surrogates within academic library services. The discussion then situates digital libraries as medial interfacing infrastructures that are fundamentally non-neutral social apparatuses that disappear in the course of daily use. Marcuse’s notion of technological rationality is incorporated to illustrate the extent to which technological infrastructures influence and reformulate the way we understand the research process using special collections and archives, and how these infrastructures can function as a mechanism for information control. Finally, Bowker and Star’s text, Sorting Things Out: Classification and Its Consequences, briefly illustrates how librarians can contextualize the emergence of digital objects, and how this context, and the concomitant technological biases, can be methodologically brought to light using infrastructural inversion.

Abstract:

Ever since the invention of movable letters and the introduction of the typewriter, technical writing tools have been considered as a means of serialization and standardization, characterized by a linear way of ordering things and thoughts. More importantly, as a cultural technique they fostered and furthered a sharp distinction between print and image. While the advent of the comic book in the industrial age was already instrumental in blurring the line between textual and visual practices, digital games now restructure this terrain to expand it through their own specific potential.This essay concentrates on the interrelation of text and icon in videogames. The first section focuses on the medial quality of writing and textuality as a formal system, the second discusses the dimension of the image as an iconic extension of the textual format, and the third brings together both lines of thought to debate the operational efficiency of digital games as a way of constituting new forms of ludic literacy.

Abstract:

SummaryTo describe the intra-osseous microvasculature of the distal phalanx of the equine forelimb with regard to its potential clinical relevance.Eleven clinically normal equine forelimbs were used from six adult horses (range: 4 to 18 years old) euthanatized for reasons unrelated to lameness. In each limb the median artery was catheterized at the level of the carpus and India ink was injected under constant manual pressure. The limbs were frozen and 5 mm thick sections of the foot were cut in the sagittal, coronal, or transverse planes on a band saw. The sections were fixed in 10% formalin and cleared using a modified Spalteholz technique. Once cleared, the sections were photographed and the microvascular anatomy identified.The vascular injections revealed a rich intra-osseous microvascular supply of the distal phalanx originating from the medial and lateral palmar digital arteries. In addition, numerous smaller vessels from the terminal arch, formed by anastomosis of the medial and lateral palmar digital arteries, could be seen branching into the distal aspects of the distal phalanx. This distal portion of the distal phalanx appeared more densely vascularized than the proximal part in all specimens examined.The increased vascularity demonstrated in the distal portion of the distal phalanx appears to correlate with improved fracture healing reported in this area. This may also explain why healing fractures which involve both the distal and proximal portions of the distal phalanx have been described as progressing from distal-to-proximal.

Abstract:

Category: Ankle; Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Ankle fractures are the most common fractures of the lower extremity. In spite of that, there is still no consensus regarding the best way to approach posterior malleolus (PM) fractures. The aim of this study is to compare the degree of PM exposure, tension of the flap containing the medial neurovascular bundle (NVB) and distance between the surgical incision and the NVB using three different posteromedial ankle approaches. Methods: Three different posteromedial approaches were compared: direct medial (DM) modified posteromedial (MPM) and posterior paramedian (PPM). Each approach was performed four times using a standardized technique. With a digital tensiometer, the minimal tension of the flap containing the NVB that allowed proper exposure of the PM was measured. In a second stage, an axial cut 1cm proximal to the tibiotalar joint was performed in nine frozen pieces and PM exposure degree and distance between the incision and the NVB was measured. Results: The median minimal tension was DM: 14,78 N, MPM: 8N and PPM: 5,75N. The median distance between the incision and the NVB was DM: 17mm, MPM: 6mm and PPM: 28mm. The median degree of exposure was DM: 51%, MPM: 58% and PPM: 72%. Conclusion: The PPM approach achieved the highest degree of PM exposure, with the lowest tension applied to the NVB and allowing the greatest distance between the incision and the NBV. Thus, we believe it should be considered the approach of choice for large fractures compromising the posteromedial and posterolateral aspect of the PM.

Full text

Abstract:

AbstractDigital elevation models of the bed and surface of Unteraargletscher, Switzerland, are used to reconstruct the theoretical pattern of basal water drainage for the years 1927, 1947, 1961 and 1997, during which period the glacier was thinning and receding. The theoretical drainage pattern for 1997 compares well, in a broad sense, with the locations of active moulins and the hydraulic connection status of boreholes drilled to the glacier bed. Changes in the basal water-flow pattern over the period 1927–97 that are revealed by the theoretical reconstructions of the subglacial drainage system structure are likely to have resulted from changes in glacier geometry. Concurrent with the retreat and thinning of the glacier, the height of medial moraines increased, probably due to the insulating effect of the debris cover reducing the melt of the underlying ice. This increase of moraine heights has led to the formation of hydraulic barriers at the glacier bed such that water flow has become channelized beneath the ice along drainage axes that parallel the course of the medial moraines on the glacier surface.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to provide a preliminary evaluation of the possible effect that femoral version may have on the bearing equilibrium conditions developed on the medial tibiofemoral compartment. A digital 3D solid model of the left physiological adult femur was used to create morphological variations of different neck-shaft angles (varus 115, normal 125, and valgus 135 degrees) and version angles (−10, 0, and +10 degrees). By means of finite element modeling and analysis techniques (FEM-FEA), a virtual experiment was executed with the femoral models aligned in a neutral upright position, distally supported on a fully congruent tibial tray and proximally loaded with a vertical only hip joint load of 2800 N. Equivalent stresses and their distribution on the medial compartment were computed and comparatively evaluated. Within our context, the neck-shaft angle proved to be of rather indifferent influence. Reduction of femoral version, however, appeared as the most influencing parameter regarding the tendency of the medial compartment to establish its bearing equilibrium towards posteromedial directions, as a consequence of the corresponding anteroposterior changes of the hip centre over the horizontal tibiofemoral plane. We found a correlation between femoral anteversion and medial tibiofemoral compartment contact pressure. Our findings will be further elucidated by more sophisticated FEM-FEA and by clinical studies that are currently planned.

Abstract:

In this paper we are concerned to outline a set of perspectives, methods, and theories with which to approach the seriality of digital games and game cultures – i.e. the aesthetic forms and cultural practices of game-related serialization, which we see unfolding against (and, in fact, as a privileged mediator of) the broader background of medial and socio-cultural transformations taking place in the wake of popular media culture’s digitalization. Seriality, we contend, is a central and multifaceted but largely neglected dimension of popular computer and video games. Seriality is a factor not only in explicitly marked game series (with their sequels, prequels, remakes, and other types of continuation), but also within games themselves (e.g. in their formal-structural constitution as an iterative series of “levels” or “worlds”) as well as on the level of transmedial relations between games and other media (e.g. expansive serializations of narrative worlds across the media of comics, film, television, and games, etc.). Particularly with respect to processes of temporal “collapse” or “synchronization” that, in the current age of digitization and media convergence, are challenging the temporal dimensions and developmental logics of pre-digital seriality (e.g. because once successively appearing series installments are increasingly available now for immediate, repeated, and non-linear consumption), computer games are eminently suited for an exemplary investigation of a specifically digital type of seriality. In the following, we look at serialization processes in digital games and game series and seek to understand how they relate to digital-era transformations of temporally-serially structured experiences and identifications on the part of historically situated actors. These transformations range from the microtemporal scale of individual players’ encounters with algorithmic computation processes (the speed of which escapes direct human perception and is measurable only by technological means) all the way up to the macrotemporal (more properly “historical”) level of collective brokerings of political, cultural, and social identities in the digital age. To account for this multi-layered complexity, we argue for a decidedly interdisciplinary approach, combining media-aesthetic and media-philosophical perspectives with the resources of discourse analysis and cultural history. We approach the seriality of digital games both in terms of textual and aesthetic forms as well as in the broader context of serialized game cultures and popular culture at large.

Abstract:

This study investigated the existence of association between the angulation of the styloid process on the anterior and medial directions with the intensity of temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) symptoms. Fifty patients (8 men and 42 women) aged 25 to 70 years, with relevant TMD symptoms were evaluated. Clinical examinations were performed to determine the severity of TMD symptoms (orofacial pain, headache, tinnitus and dizziness) based on the RDC/TMD criteria and the visual analogue scale (VAS), and digital radiographic images of the styloid process were obtained: lateral cephalometric skull radiograph (analysis of anterior angulation) and posteroanterior skull radiograph (reverse Towne's projection) (analysis of medial angulation). The anterior angulation average of the styloid process was 20.89° while the medial angulation average was 19.1° in the right side and 19.04° in the left side. There was no statistically significant difference among the patient groups (severe, moderate and mild symptoms) associating the TMD symptoms and the anterior or medial angulation of the styloid process (p>0.05). There was no correlation between the intensity of the TMD symptoms and the measurements of anterior and medial angulation of the styloid process using either lateral cephalometric or posteroanterior radiographs (reverse Towne's projection).

Abstract:

Purpose. Intravascular injection rates are higher during traditional S1 transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) compared with lumbar transforaminal injection. We compared the incidences of intravascular injection between the medial and lateral approaches to the S1 foramen during S1 TFESI. Materials and Methods. A total of 139 patients underwent one or more TFESIs (170 total injections). The patients received S1 TFESI by either medial or lateral side of S1 foramen under fluoroscopic anteroposterior view using digital subtraction method. The intravascular injection rates, epidural spread patterns, and contrast volumes required to reach the superior aspect of the L5-S1 intervertebral disc (SIVD) were compared between groups. Results. Intravascular injection rates during S1 TFESI were significantly lower in the medial approach compared with the lateral approach patients (4.9% versus 38.6%, resp., P<0.001). The medial approach group had more epidural spread to the L5-S1 SIVD than the lateral group (82.1% versus 58.8%, resp.); lower contrast volume amounts were required to extend the L5-S1 SIVD (1.46±0.48 versus 1.90±0.62, resp.). Conclusion. During S1 TFESI, approaching the needle towards the medial part of the S1 foramen may reduce intravascular injection risk.

Abstract:

This editorial of the Special Issue ‘Textures of Diaspora and (Post-)Digitality: A Cultural Studies Approach’ explores the digital agency of diasporic communities by showing how cultural and literary studies genuinely contribute to scholarly debates and our understanding of digital diasporas. It explores the implications of the digital in a (post-)digital age, one in which the notion of diaspora is used to refer to actual ethnic, religious communities and to collectives that do not necessarily share any common origin or history but articulate their communality through a ‘diaspora rhetoric’. It uses an approach that concentrates on the medial, cultural and aesthetic dimensions of diasporic (self-)representations, positionings and practices in cyberspace. It brings into focus the ‘textures’ of these communities and points to the need to decode diasporic imageries and the many meanings of those portrayals. It studies the textual and visual language with which diasporic communities are imagined in the digital space.

Abstract:

Over the past decade, a growing body of scholarship in media studies and other cognate disciplines has focused our attention on the social, material, cultural, and political dimensions of the infrastructures that undergird and sustain media and communication networks and cultures across the world. This infrastructural turn assumes greater significance in relation to digital media and in particular, the influence that digital platforms have come to wield. Having ‘disrupted’ many sectors of social, political, and economic life, many of the most widely used digital platforms now seem to operate as infrastructures themselves. This special issue explores how an infrastructural perspective reframes the study of digital platforms and allows us to pose questions of scale, labor, industry logics, policy and regulation, state power, cultural practices, and citizenship in relation to the routine, everyday uses of digital platforms. In this opening article, we offer a critical overview of media infrastructure studies and situate the study of digital infrastructures and platforms within broader scholarly and public debates on the history and political economy of media infrastructures. We also draw on the study of media industries and production cultures to make the case for an inter-medial and inter-sectoral approach to understanding the entanglements of digital platforms and infrastructures.
