The expression of MYH7 gene in femur, humeral muscle and back muscle tissues of fattening lambs of the Kermani breed [PDF]
ObjectiveSkeletal muscles make up about 40% of body weight and are responsible for many functions, such as maintaining required energy, maintaining body condition, and protecting tissues. Normal growth of skeletal muscles is a prerequisite for animals to

Abstract This chapter provides a detailed description of the Sterkfontein hominin femora and additional comparative and functional interpretations of these fossils, all of which are incomplete but still provide important information. While some have postulated that the differences among Sterkfontein femora reflect taxonomic differences ...

Morphometric parameters of the distal end of the femur and their influence on the knee joint [PDF]
Introduction: The femur is a long pair of bones and it consists of the proximal, distal end and body. The distal end carries the medial and lateral condyle (condylus medialis et lateralis), the intercondylar fossa and line (linea et fossa intercondylaris)

Improving Equine Intramedullary Nail Osteosynthesis via Fracture Adjacent Polymer Reinforcement
Introduction: Osteosynthesis of the equine femur is still a challenge for veterinary medicine. Even though intramedullary fracture fixation is possible nowadays, the varying geometry of the medullary cavity along the bone axis is a critical factor ...

Imaging Pitfall in the Pediatric Knee: Irregular Epiphyseal Ossification at the Femoral Condyle
Teaching point: Age-related variability in endochondral ossification of the femoral condyles in children is a normal variant of skeletal maturation and should not be misdiagnosed as osteochondritis dissecans or any other epiphyseal abnormality.

Prevalence of Surgical Site Infection in Patients With Femoral Shaft Fracture [PDF]
Background: The surgical site infections (SSIs) associated with orthopedic surgeries are prevalent since the commonly used implantation techniques increase the risk of infection. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of SSI in patients with femoral

Collo-Diaphyseal Angle as an Optimal Anthropometric Criterion of Femur in Gender Determination [PDF]
Background: Gender determination is an important challenge in the identification of skeletal remnants and dismembered bodies. The femur bone is more likely to be preserved during accidents and over time; thus, it is one of the most useful bones in ...
