Biceps tendon tears or ruptures are often painful and frightening injuries. Although they typically occur in men of middle age or older, these injuries can also happen to younger and elderly ...

Understanding cosmic ray anisotropy—variations in the arrival directions of these particles—provides insights into their origins and the influence of magnetic fields in space. Recent research ...

The patellar tendon connects the kneecap (the patella) to the shinbone. This is part of the "extensor mechanism" of the knee. Together with the kneecap, quadriceps tendon, and the quadriceps muscle, ...

Its position relative to the other structures in the wrist changes with forearm pronation and supination. As such, it must be mobile yet stable. The ECU tendon relies on specific stabilising ...

DIRECT evidence that the molecules of gases are not spherically symmetrical and are anisotropic in their properties is furnished by the recent experiments of Lord Rayleigh, who has shown that the ...

Finally, anisotropy has been considered for biomechanical modeling in the context of shear wave elastography. In such cases, the material’s mechanical response (strain) is dependent on the direction ...

Ten patients with RA with symptoms in the hands or feet were recruited. Ten rheumatologists expert in MSUS blindly, independently and consecutively scored for tenosynovitis in B-mode and PD mode three ...

Contemporary polymer network materials, such as hydrogels and elastomers, require not only enhanced mechanical properties but also adaptability during or after use. Polymer mechanochemistry, which ...

It is a degenerative, not an inflammatory, condition. Most patients respond to conservative measures if the condition is recognised early. Surgery usually involves removal of adhesions and degenerated ...
