Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Evaluation of the influence of the clips geometry on the mechanical stresses generated on the thumb during assembly work

بهداشت و ایمنی کار, 2017
Introduction: Nowadays, Snap-fits have many applications in the automotive industry, especially in assembly lines. They are used instead of the mechanical joints such as bolts, the cabling joints, and the car interior lining joints.

Cost–Benefit Analysis in the Surgical Management of Thumb Carpometacarpal Osteoarthritis: Dual-Mobility Total Joint Replacement Versus Trapeziectomy with Ligament Reconstruction and Suspension Arthroplasty

Surgeries
Background: Trapeziometacarpal (TM) osteoarthritis (OA) is a common condition, especially among postmenopausal women, often requiring surgical intervention when conservative treatment fails.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Mallet thumb [PDF]

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1983
The uncommon injury of mallet thumb is described, with four case reports. In diagnosis the condition must be distinguished from dropped thumb. Operative treatment is advised which, in this small series, gave excellent results.

Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.

Severe Type 1 Thumb Boutonniere Deformity with Interphalangeal Joint Dislocation in a Young Patient: A Case Report

Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports
Introduction: Thumb boutonniere deformity, commonly associated with autoimmune arthropathies, presents as metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint flexion and interphalangeal (IP) joint hyperextension.

Unilateral Vibratory Stimulation Inhibits Contralateral Spinal Anterior Horn Cells in Homonymous Muscles for the First 75 Seconds [PDF]

Annals of Rehabilitation Medicine
Objective To investigate muscle tone changes over time in contralateral homonymous muscles when unilateral muscles are stimulated, using F-wave measurements, we examined whether vibratory stimulation on the contralateral homonymous muscle of the affected

Back to basics with distal thumb reconstruction. Easy management of the incomplete amputation

Journal of Investigative Surgery, 2021
Thumb reconstruction has always been challenging for hand surgeons. The disability can severely influence the working and social life of the patient, even if just the distal phalanx is affected.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.
