‘Serious thigh muscle strains’: beware the intramuscular tendon which plays an important role in difficult hamstring and quadriceps muscle strains

open access: yesBritish Journal of Sports Medicine, 2015
Why do some hamstring and quadriceps strains take much longer to repair than others? Which injuries are more prone to recurrence? Intramuscular tendon injuries have received little attention as an element in ‘muscle strain’.

A Pilot Trial of Tongue Reconstruction Using the Chimeric Innervated Vastus Lateralis Muscle and Antero‐Lateral Thigh Free Flap

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Subtotal and total glossectomies for advanced tongue cancer result in significant speech‐ and swallow‐related morbidity, impairing quality of life. This prospective pilot study compares the safety and functional outcomes associated with using a chimeric innervated muscle and fasciocutaneous flap for soft tissue reconstruction ...

Aggressive Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma in the Setting of GATA2 Deficiency

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background GATA2 deficiency is a rare genetic disorder associated with hematologic, infectious, and neoplastic complications. We report a case of a patient with GATA2 deficiency who developed aggressive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck, an atypical manifestation of this condition.

Cryolipolysis for safe and effective inner thigh fat reduction

open access: yesLasers in Surgery and Medicine, 2015
While cryolipolysis initially received FDA clearance for fat reduction in the abdomen and flanks, there was significant interest in non‐surgical fat reduction for other sites, such as the inner and outer thighs.

Tracheoesophageal Voicing Following Resistance‐Based Dysphagia Rehabilitation: An Exploratory Multidimensional Assessment

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background This exploratory study investigated tracheoesophageal voicing following 6 weeks of resistance‐based dysphagia rehabilitation with the SEA2.0, using a multidimensional assessment approach. Methods Twenty laryngectomized participants were assessed at T0 (baseline), T1 (after 6 weeks training), and T2 (after 8 weeks rest).

Assigning UPDRS Scores in the Leg Agility Task of Parkinsonians: Can It Be Done through BSN-based Kinematic Variables? [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
In this paper, by characterizing the Leg Agility (LA) task, which contributes to the evaluation of the degree of severity of the Parkinson's Disease (PD), through kinematic variables (including the angular amplitude and speed of thighs' motion), we investigate the link between these variables and Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) scores.

Combining Heterogeneously Labeled Datasets For Training Segmentation Networks [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
Accurate segmentation of medical images is an important step towards analyzing and tracking disease related morphological alterations in the anatomy. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have recently emerged as a powerful tool for many segmentation tasks in medical imaging.
