Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive, full-length assessment of radial and ulnar bowing in anteroposterior (AP) and sagittal planes. Radial and ulnar AP and lateral bowing were assessed using orthogonal digital photographs of 211 randomly selected cadaveric bilateral forearms (422 radius, 422 ulna bones) from a well-preserved osteologic collection. In the radial AP plane, an apex-radial bow was present at a mean of 58% of bone length (slightly distal to midpoint), with a mean depth of 1.3 cm. In the radial lateral plane, an apex-dorsal bow occurred at a mean of 45% of bone length, with a mean depth of 0.8 cm. In the ulnar AP plane, apex-radial bow occurred at a mean of 32% of bone length with a mean depth of 1.0 cm. In the ulnar lateral plane, the majority of specimens (81%) had an apex-dorsal bow, whereas 19% had a reverse (apex-volar) bow. Lateral ulnar bow was located at a mean of 33% of bone length with a mean depth of 2.0 cm, with 36% of specimens possessing a lateral bow located at 35% or more distal along the ulna. Side-to-side differences for bow location and depth were less than 2% of bone length. Ulnar lateral bow was found to be more distal than in previously published works, which analyzed only the proximal ulna, and...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
