Occurrence of Diastasis of the Rectus Abdominis Muscles in Patients with Medial Pectus Excavatum
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2022 Background:. Since 1994, we have used soft silicone blocks sculpted intraoperatively to correct pectus excavatum in male patients. This technique involves a horizontal access incision in the region of the lower edge of the sternum.

Semantic Segmentation Using Deep Learning to Extract Total Extraocular Muscles and Optic Nerve from Orbital Computed Tomography Images [PDF]
, 2020 Objectives: Precise segmentation of total extraocular muscles (EOM) and optic nerve (ON) is essential to assess anatomical development and progression of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO). We aim to develop a semantic segmentation method based on deep learning to extract the total EOM and ON from orbital CT images in patients with suspected TAO ...

A case report of a rare intramuscular granular cell tumor [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Granular cell tumors (GCTs) were firstly described by Weber in 1854 and 70 years later by Abrikossoff and classified as benign tumors. Originally considered muscle tumors, they have been identified as neural lesions, due to their close ...

Neuromuscular and Metabolic Responses during Repeated Bouts of Loaded Downhill Walking [PDF]
, 2023 The aim of this study was to compare vastus lateralis (VL) and rectus femoris (RF) muscles for their nervous and mechanical adaptations during two bouts of downhill walking (DW) with load carriage performed two weeks apart. Moreover, we investigated cardio-metabolic and perceived exertion responses during both DW bouts.

Viscoelastic Constitutive Artificial Neural Networks (vCANNs) $-$ a framework for data-driven anisotropic nonlinear finite viscoelasticity [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The constitutive behavior of polymeric materials is often modeled by finite linear viscoelastic (FLV) or quasi-linear viscoelastic (QLV) models. These popular models are simplifications that typically cannot accurately capture the nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of materials.

Digital dissection of the model organism Xenopus laevis using contrast-enhanced computed tomography [PDF]
, 2017 The African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, is one of the most widely used model organisms in biological research. However, the most recent anatomical description of X. laevis was produced nearly a century ago.

Vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous versus alternative flaps for perineal repair after abdominoperineal excision of the rectum in the era of laparoscopic surgery [PDF]
, 2017 Aims: Plastic surgical reconstruction of the perineum is often required after abdominoperineal excision of the rectum. Options for this reconstruction include a vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous (VRAM) flap, gluteal fasciocutaneous flap, and ...

Anatomical and Functional Recovery of Neurotized Remnant Rectus Abdominis Muscle in Muscle-Sparing Pedicled Transverse Rectus Abdominis Musculocutaneous Flap [PDF]
Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2013 Background Pedicled transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flaps typically sacrifice the entire muscle. In our experience, the lateral strip of the rectus abdominis muscle can be spared in an attempt to maintain function and reduce morbidity. When

On the Behavior of the Respiratory Muscles During Vomiting [PDF]
, 1957 In order to produce vomiting in the dogs decerebrated and unanesthetized, apomorphine or copper sulfate was administered. The behaviors of both the inspiratory and the expiratory muscles were studied through the course of the act of vomiting by the ...

A novel approach to muscle functional recovery monitoring by its free vibration measurement [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The study shows a potential to monitor functional recovery of a muscle by its natural frequency measurement. A novel approach is presented, in which vibrations of the muscle of interest are measured in a contactless manner using laser displacement sensor and the measured vibration signals are analyzed by an advanced technique of experimental modal ...
