Reconstruction of Pretibial Defect Using Pedicled Perforator Flaps
Background Coverage of defects of the pretibial area remains a challenge for surgeons. The difficulty comes from the limited mobility and availability of the overlying skin and soft tissue.

If you can remember dissecting the Dogfish ( Scliorhinus canicula ), you are probably nearly as old as the author. This primitive cartilagenous fish was the marker vertebrate for many of us, and seen as a more interesting prospect than the Frog (probably a size thing).

Posture Adjustment for a Wheel-legged Robotic System via Leg Force Control with Prescribed Transient Performance [PDF]
This work proposes a force control strategy with prescribed transient performance for the legs of a wheel-legged robotic system to realize the posture adjustment on uneven roads. A dynamic model of the robotic system is established with the body postures as inputs and the leg forces as outputs, such that the desired forces for the wheel-legs are ...

Twenty-four female lambs of the Pantaneiro genetic group, with approximately 100 days of age, average body of 16.24 ± 1.78 kg, were slaughtered with 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 mmof subcutaneous fat thickness, measured by ultrasound in the Longissimus, to evaluate ...

Abstract Objective We measured clinical and quantitative MRI outcome measures in CMT1A to assess long‐term responsiveness, establish longitudinal validity and assess MRI as a bridging biomarker. Methods Twenty patients with CMT1A and 20 matched controls underwent MRI, myometry and clinical assessments up to four times over mean 4‐year follow‐up ...

Locomotion of walking insects is exceptionally efficient. The function of their leg joints in different movement scenarios depends on their kinematics and contacting conditions between moving parts.

Etude mécanique des articles de contention et de leurs effets sur la jambe humaine. Mechanical investigation of compression stockings and of their effects on the human leg [PDF]
This paper presents a synthesis of different studies willing to bring a scientific insight into leg compression, which is the process of applying external compression forces onto the human leg with stockings or socks, for enhancing the venous flow. It seems obvious that the pressure distribution on the leg affects the blood flow in the veins.

A robotic leg inspired from an insect leg
Abstract While most insect-inspired robots come with a simple tarsus, such as a hemispherical foot tip, insect legs have complex tarsal structures and claws, which enable them to walk on complex terrain. Their sharp claws can smoothly attach and detach on plant surfaces by actuating a single muscle.
