Active Auxetic Heel Support for Achilles Tendon Therapy [PDF]

, 2018
The Achilles tendon, which stretches from the calf to the ankle, can be injured due to repeated daily activities or overstretching. In severe cases a tear in the tendon can prevent athletes from performing in games as well as individuals from completing ...

Versican splice variant messenger RNA expression in normal human Achilles tendon and tendinopathies [PDF]

, 2004
Versican is the principal large proteoglycan expressed in mid-tendon, but its role in tendon pathology is unknown. Our objective was to define the expression of versican isoform splice variant messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) in normal Achilles tendons,

Physiological Basis of Sex Differences in Human Performance and Exercise‐Associated Pathology

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The presence of sex differences in human physical performance is well‐established and shaped by distinct endocrine, anatomical and physiological mechanisms. Despite sustained advances, our understanding of how inherent biological factors drive variations in exercise capacity and related pathologies is still developing.

Ciprofloxacin reduces the stimulation of prostaglandin E2 output by interleukin-1 in human tendon-derived cells [PDF]

, 2003
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin can induce tendon pathology and have various effects on tendon-derived cells in culture. We are investigating whether ciprofloxacin modifies signalling responses in tendon cells.

Architecture of lower leg muscles in children: Reference curves and potential mechanisms of growth

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Muscle architecture (physiological cross‐sectional area, fascicle lengths and pennation angle) was measured from multimodal MRI scans of the lower legs of 197 children aged ≤15 years. We showed that lower leg muscle volumes (product of PCSA and fascicle length) increase primarily through increases in PCSA (transverse growth) rather than increases in ...

Decellularised amniotic membrane-TDSCs composite promotes Achilles tendon healing

Scientific Reports
Adhesions and poor healing are major complications after Achilles tendon injury, and there is no effective solution to this problem. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the biomimetic peritoneurosis can solve the above problems in the ...

Effect of artificial gravity on calcaneal bone marrow adipose tissue and mineral content in female and male participants in 60 days of bed rest

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Modulation of bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) with prolonged inactivity was reported in haemopoietic but not in non‐haemopoietic bones. This prospective randomized controlled trial submitted 16 men and 8 women to 60 days of 6° head‐down‐tilt bed rest.

Factors associated with Achilles tendon re-rupture following operative fixation: a cohort study of 43,287 patients

Bone & Joint Research
Aims: Achilles tendon re-rupture (ATRR) poses a significant risk of postoperative complication, even after a successful initial surgical repair. This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with Achilles tendon re-rupture following operative ...

TREATMENT OF OLD ACHILLES TENDON RUPTURES

Travmatologiâ i Ortopediâ Rossii, 2012
From 1998 to 2010 32 patients (14 men, 18 women), aged 15-65 years, underwent surgical treatment for old Achilles tendon rupture. In all cases correct diagnosis was made not earlier than 1 month after injury.
