BACKGROUND A detailed description of the vascular anatomy of the shoulder capsule is lacking, yet surgical procedures may put this capsular blood supply at risk. We hypothesized that a hypovascular area is present in the capsule. The purpose of the present study was to describe the vascular anatomy of the human glenohumeral capsule and ligaments and its relevance to surgical treatment of the sh...

BACKGROUND The accurate localization of intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) is very important for the management of ocular trauma patients. B-scan ultrasonography is usually used to detect IOFBs in the posterior segment. Here, we report three cases with IOFBs in the anterior segment near the posterior lens capsule, which were accurately localized by B-scan ultrasonography under dynamic transvers...

The purpose of this study was to characterize the role of the capsule in the interval between the supraspinatus and subscapularis tendons with respect to glenohumeral motion, translation, and stability. We used a six-degrees-of-freedom position-sensor and a six-degrees-of-freedom force and torque-transducer to determine the glenohumoral rotations and translations that resulted from applied load...

Background and Purpose--Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in ischemic stroke has shown a correlation between N-acetylaspartate (NAA) loss from the infarcted region and disability. We tested the hypothesis that NAA loss in the descending motor pathways, measured at the level of the posterior limb of the internal capsule, would determine motor deficit after a cortical, subcortical, or striato...

Pregnancy is a long-term, temporary, physiological state that occurs in women's lives. the period which many anatomical and changes occur to meet needs of developing fetus. During this period, various are seen eye. Some changes, especially immunological system, may cause some inflammatory chorioretinopathy posterior segment. This can different levels vision loss. The main diseases during pregna...
