Endoscopic Release of the Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendon at Posterior Ankle for Management of Checkrein Deformity of the Great Toe, Second Toe, and Third Toe. [PDF]
Abstract Checkrein deformity is rare and involves entrapment or fixed tethering of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) in the posterior foot, just proximal to the flexor retinaculum of the ankle, and causes the “constant length phenomenon” of FHL.

Arthroscopically Assisted Reconstruction of Lateral Metatarsosesamoid Suspensory and Lateral Metatarsophalangeal Collateral Ligaments in the Management of Iatrogenic Hallux Varus Deformity. [PDF]
Abstract The medial and lateral metatarsosesamoid suspensory ligaments together with the sesamoid apparatus are the main contributors to the rotational stability of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ). Rotational instability of first MTPJ is a major factor in the development of hallux valgus and varus deformities.

A network of transient domains for breaking symmetry during anterior-posterior axis formation in the porcine embryo. [PDF]
Abstract Breaking radial symmetry for anterior–posterior axis formation is one of the key developmental steps of vertebrate gastrulation and is established through a succession of transient domains defined by morphology or gene expression. Three such domains were interpreted recently in the rabbit to be part of a “three‐anchor‐point model” for axis ...

Programming of Multicellular Patterning with Mechano‐Chemically Microstructured Cell Niches
Stem‐cell‐derived tissue models exhibit stochastic cellular compositions with malformed architectures. To enhance such tissues, a method for orthogonal programming of material microstructure with biochemicals across a range of Young's moduli is developed.

Taming the Production of Bioluminescent Wood Using the White Rot Fungus Desarmillaria Tabescens. [PDF]
Here, this work describes an efficient method to induce bioluminescence in non‐living balsa wood by treating it with the living fungus Desarmillaria tabescens. The optimized growth conditions maximize colonization of the wood by rhizomorphs. These findings show that the moisture content and the breakdown of lignin are essential factors in the ...

Borges on Bifurcation: Remix at the Interstices of Art and Life [PDF]
This paper utilizes “The Garden of Forking Paths” as a starting point to explore Borges’s concept of bifurcation and how the act of decision-making in everyday life is closely associated with similar theoretical themes in the Deleuzean notion of ...
