Outcomes of postoperative radiation therapy in fibular free flap reconstruction for head and neck cancer [PDF]

In the treatment of an advanced stage head and neck cancer, additional therapeutic modalities are often combined with surgery. The timing of surgery in relation to other treatment modalities, such as radiation or chemoradiation therapy, remains a topic ...

Functional morphology and biomechanics of the locomotor apparatus in the large Late Triassic carnivore Postosuchus kirkpatricki (Archosauria: Rauisuchidae)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional model is used to analyze the locomotor biomechanics of the large Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Postosuchus kirkpatricki. The study finds that it is more uncertain than previously concluded whether it was quadrupedal or bipedal, and plantigrade or digitigrade, but it clearly had locomotor specializations including large hindlimb

Cumulative effects of lifelong systemic excess growth hormone on postcranial skeletal morphology in adult mice

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Our μCT‐based pilot study reveals size and shape disparity in the adult postcranial skeleton of growth‐hormone model (bGH) mice relative to wild‐type mice. bGH mice have larger and more sexually dimorphic bones, with a systemic radiodensity increase in bony sesamoids and associated, but typically uncalcified, soft tissues.

Optimizing free fibular grafting in femoral head osteonecrosis: the Ioannina aiming device

, 2001
The extracapsular placement of a vascularized fibular graft in the subchondral region of the femoral head now is a widely accepted method for treating patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

The impact of footwear on human talar trabecular architecture

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Medial and lateral views of the human foot skeleton in the shod and unshod groups, with color maps representing mean relative trabecular bone volume fraction (rBV/TV) in the talus for each group. The shod group exhibited greater rBV/TV in the medial and posterior talus, whereas the unshod group had greater rBV/TV in the talar head and neck.

Vascularized compared with nonvascularized fibular grafting for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head

, 2003
Background: We are not aware of any clinical studies in the literature comparing the results of vascularized and non- vascularized fibular grafting for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Surgical Treatment of Tumor‐Induced Osteomalacia With Causative Tumors Affecting the Long Bones

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
Tumor‐induced osteomalacia (TIO) is an extremely rare paraneoplastic syndrome with an insidious onset. Consequently, the orthopedic surgical strategies for TIO urgently require refinement, and an international consensus must be established. The causative tumors of TIO located in the long bones are occult and exhibit diverse anatomical distributions ...

Effects of bed rest and immobilization on intramuscular and intermuscular adipose tissue: A systematic review

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle disuse caused by bed rest and immobilization is associated with muscle atrophy and insulin resistance, which might be related to increases in intramuscular fat (IntraMAT) and intermuscular fat (InterMAT) accumulation. In this systematic review, we compiled evidence on the effects of bed rest and unilateral lower‐limb immobilization on ...

Effects of nocturnal periodic breathing on sympathetic nerve activity and ventilatory control at high altitude: a randomised, crossover study

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic overview of the randomised crossover study investigating the effects of nocturnal periodic breathing (nPB) on sympathetic activity and ventilatory acclimatisation in hypobaric hypoxia equivalent to 4000 m altitude. Participants completed two 3‐day sojourns where nPB was inhibited by increasing inspiratory CO2 fraction ...
