Light and scanning electron micrographs of Opisthorchis viverrini, Haplorchis taichui, H. pumilio, A Phaneropsolus bonnei, and Prosthodendrium molenkampi eggs were studied. Under light microscopy. O. viverrini eggs had rough eggshells and prominent shoulders. H. taichui, H. pumilio were similar in shape and had smooth eggshells and prominent shoulders. H. pumilio eggs were bigger than H. taichu...

The purpose of this study was to examine kinesthesia in normal (uninjured) shoulders and in shoulders with a history of glenohumeral joint dislocations. Both shoulders of 10 healthy subjects and 8 subjects with a history of unilateral anterior dislocation were tested for accuracy of angular reproduction, threshold to sensation of movement, and end-range reproduction using a motor-driven shoulde...

We performed open acromioplasty for intractable impingement syndrome on 96 shoulders (93 patients) with an intact rotator cuff. All the shoulders were examined by ultrasound after a mean interval of nine years. Those showing pathological findings, a poor or fair subjective result, or deterioration of the primary excellent outcome had MRI and/or arthrography. The mean Constant score for the affe...

In this paper, an approach for 3D motion estimation of head and shoulders of persons in videophone sequences is presented. Since head and shoulders are linked together by the neck, constraints for the motion of head and shoulders exist which are exploited to improve the motion estimation. In this paper, the human neck joint is modelled by a spherical joint between head and shoulders and its 3D ...
