Obesity: The Impact on Host Systems Affecting Mobility and Navigation through the Environment
European Medical Journal, 2019 Obesity is known to affect a high percentage of both adults and children in developed countries. Individuals with obesity are at risk of developing a number of comorbidities, as well as metabolic syndrome, which can create a low-grade systemic ...

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Elevated C‐reactive protein (CRP) levels in systemic sclerosis (SSc) have been linked with severe disease and worse survival, but the role of platelet levels remains unclear. This study examined whether elevated platelet levels, CRP levels, or both are associated with disease severity, progression, and survival in SSc.

Tendon mechanobiology in the context of tendon biofabrication
Frontiers in Bioengineering and BiotechnologyTendons are often affected by injuries or tendinopathies, resulting in serious and long-lasting impairments. The repair capacity is very low with a high risk of rerupture. Nevertheless, early, moderate and intermittent functional training adapted to the healing process has been shown to support tendon healing.

Automated Hand Flexor Tendon–Thickness Measurement in Systemic Sclerosis
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) can affect flexor tendons, contributing to hand function problems and reduced quality of life. Tendon changes are currently assessed with ultrasonography and measured manually, a time‐consuming process prone to interobserver variability.

Blood flow and clearance in tendons. Studies with dogs
, 1984 Blood flow in intact tendons in dogs was measured using 57Co-labelled microspheres and compared with the simultaneous clearance of a diffusible radionuclide, 85Sr, by the same tendons.

Design of a Multistable Finger Prosthesis with Programmable Metamaterials
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This research article shows the development of a multistable programmble metamaterial for the use as a finger prosthesis. The material was designed on different hierarchical levels where the influence of geometrical parameters and combination of mechanical elements was explored.

Sports Health: A Multidisciplinary Approach, 2009 Both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and sonography are well suited to tendon imaging. A normal tendon on MRI demonstrates low signal intensity and on sonography, an echogenic fibrillar pattern. MRI is considered the imaging gold standard, providing an anatomic overview and excellent soft tissue contrast.

Biomechanical properties of tendons.
, 2013 SDFTs were subjected to mechanical testing within 2 h of post euthanasia to determine (A) structural stiffness and (B) material stiffness (modulus), which was calculated by expressing the ratio of the structural stiffness to the ultrasonographically ...

Posterior attachment of ciliary muscle in young, accommodating old, presbyopic monkeys [PDF]
, 1991 The authors studied the posterior attachment of the ciliary muscle in seven young (3-10 yr) and five old (26-34 yr) rhesus monkeys by light microscopy and electron microscopy.
