Objectives The femoropopliteal (FP) artery is the most frequently revascularized segment in peripheral artery disease (PAD), followed by the iliac segment. Wall shear stress (WSS) is a key local factor implicated in both atherosclerotic plaque formation and restenosis after angioplasty.

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

A nano‐interception strategy disrupts pathogenic fibroblast–macrophage crosstalk in chronic heart failure. Scalable Prussian blue nanoparticles selectively sequester CCL2 via ultrahigh‐affinity binding, preventing CCR2+ macrophage recruitment and breaking a key fibro‐inflammatory circuit. This approach demonstrates robust efficacy in murine and porcine

Abstract Notosuchians were key components of western Gondwanan Cretaceous ecosystems in terrestrial predator niches and exhibited remarkable taxonomic and ecological diversity. Previous research has explored their physiology, metabolism, and histology, revealing varied growth patterns and life history strategies.

Purpose To compare the anterior–posterior distance ratio of the lateral‐to‐medial tibial plateau (LTP/MTP) among 3 patient groups: those with intact anterior cruciate ligaments (ACLi), primary ACL tears (ACLp), and failed ACL reconstructions (ACLf).

Abstract Anatomy is a foundational component of various medical and paramedical disciplines. Existing research has suggested that games or game elements can improve student interest in musculoskeletal (MSK) anatomy. This project builds on previous gamification and serious game work and incorporates new anatomy‐based games into undergraduate anatomy ...

ABSTRACT Background Progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) is a painful and function‐limiting condition most commonly affecting middle‐aged and older adults. Although custom foot orthoses (CFOs) are routinely prescribed as a conservative intervention, evidence from large clinical cohorts remains limited.

ABSTRACT Objective The stop‐jump task is a key movement in sports such as basketball and volleyball, with landing biomechanics closely linked to injury risk. Restricted ankle dorsiflexion (DF) alters lower‐extremity mechanics and increases the risk of lower‐limb joint injuries; however, its effects on the full stop‐jump cycle remain unclear. This study

A Novel Surgical Approach to Induce an Ankle Joint Contracture in Rats
ABSTRACT Our primary aim was to establish a novel surgical immobilization approach to induce a persistent ankle plantar‐flexion contracture in the Wistar rat. A stainless steel suture was placed in experimental animals (n = 14) and pulled taut between the calcaneal bone and the knee joint, restricting dorsal‐flexion while still allowing for limited ...

Insects use sensilla to detect chemical and physical stimuli, mediating behaviours such as mate finding, foraging and mechanosensory responses. The distribution and density of sensilla can be examined using scanning electron microscopy. Investigating these structures can help elucidate rarely observed behaviours (e.g. mate finding and foraging).
