Morphological Changes and MRI Characteristics of the Achilles Tendon in Amateur Marathon Runners With Different Running Experience. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background With the escalating popularity of marathon running, Achilles tendon injuries, particularly gradualāonset Achilles tendon injury, have become common, often causing substantial training disruptions. However, the influence of running experience on the Achilles tendon structure in amateur runners remains largely unclear.

Accuracy of Critical Shoulder Angle and Acromial Index for Predicting Supraspinatus Tendinopathy
Critical shoulder angle (CSA) is the angle between the superior and inferior bony margins of the glenoid and the most lateral border of the acromion. The acromial index (AI) is the distance from the glenoid plane to the acromial lateral border and is ...

Achilles Tendinopathy (AT) is essentially a failed healing response with haphazard proliferation of tenocytes, abnormalities in tenocytes with disruption of collagen fibers, and subsequent increase in non-collagenous matrix.The diagnosis of Achilles tendinopathy is clinical, and MRI and utrasound imaging can be useful in differential diagnosis ...

Variants within the MMP3 gene are associated with achilles tendinopathy: possible interaction with the COL5A1 gene [PDF]
Objectives: Sequence variation within the COL5A1 and TNC genes are known to associate with Achilles tendinopathy. The primary aim of this case-control genetic association study was to investigate whether variants within the matrix metalloproteinase 3 ...

Targeting danger molecules in tendinopathy: the HMGB1/TLR4 axis [PDF]
Objectives: To seek evidence of the danger molecule, high-mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) expression in human tendinopathy and thereafter, to explore mechanisms where HMGB1 may regulate inflammatory mediators and matrix regulation in human tendinopathy.
