Functional insights from an exploration of the inner structure of the patella: new perspectives for the study of the hominin fossil record

open access: yesBulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2022
This contribution is a short review of the functional significance of the patella in extant catarrhines and extinct hominins and of current functional, adaptive and evolutionary-related questions concerning the fossil hominin record.

Localization of magnetic sources underground by a data adaptive tomographic scanner

open access: yes, 2005
A tomography method is proposed to image magnetic anomaly sources buried below a non-flat ground surface, by developing the expression of the total power associated with a measured magnetic field.

Amino acid racemization dating of marine shells: a mound of possibilities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Shell middens are one of the most important and widespread indicators for human exploitation of marine resources and occupation of coastal environments. Establishing an accurate and reliable chronology for these deposits has fundamental implications for ...

Pseudochondromalacia Patellae [PDF]

open access: yesActa Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1978
A condition causing knee pain with retropatellar crepitus similar to chondromalacia patellae is described. The symptoms seem to be due not to chondromalacia of the patella, but to a local synovial thickening proximal to the articular surface of the medial femoral condyle.

Surgical Correction of Non-traumatic Patella Maltracking. Midterm Clinical Follow-up

open access: yesRambam Maimonides Medical Journal, 2022
Background: Patellar instability comprises a group of pathologies that allow the patella to move out of its trajectory within the trochlear groove during walking.

Finite-element modelling of mechanobiological factors influencing sesamoid tissue morphology in the patellar tendon of an ostrich [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The appearance and shape of sesamoid bones within a tendon or ligament wrapping around a joint are understood to be influenced by both genetic and epigenetic factors.

Geophysical tomography in engineering geology: an overview

open access: yes, 2005
An overview of the tomographic interpretation method in engineering geophysics is presented, considering the two approaches of the deterministic tomography inversion, developed for rock elasticity analysis, and the probability tomography imaging ...

Tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joint 3D-kinematics in patients with posterior cruciate ligament deficiency compared to healthy volunteers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background: The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) plays an important role in maintaining physiological kinematics and function of the knee joint. To date mainly in-vitro models or combined magnetic resonance and fluoroscopic systems have been used for ...

Multi‐Responsive Dendrimer‐Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel With Lubricating and Immunoregulatory Functions for Synergistic Osteoarthritis Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A hydrogel with dynamic cross‐links was formed by cross‐linking hyaluronic acid with curcumin‐preloaded, phenylboronic acid‐modified poly(amidoamine) dendrimers. This hydrogel exhibited excellent injectability and self‐healing ability, enabling controlled Cur release in response to low pH, high reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, or mechanical ...

Modeling electrical dispersion phenomena in Earth materials

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2008
It is illustrated that IP phenomena in rocks can be described using conductivity dispersion models deduced as solutions to a 2nd-order linear differential equation describing the motion of a charged particle immersed in an external electrical field. Five
