The reconstruction of the corticospinal tract in the human brain is a clinically important task for both surgical planning and population studies. Diffusion MRI tractography provides an in-vivo and patientspecific technique for mapping the tract’s geometry; however, its relationship to other bundles, such as the superior longitudinal fasciculus, presents issues for the standard tensor model, as...

the resistant* of patesa against lateral displacement (le. the stability), was studied tinder a range of conditions in vitro, at a range of knee flexion angles. muscle forces were applied in physiological directions along the separate quadriceps muscles. normal muscle actions with constant tension showed constant patellar stability up to sixty degrees knee flexion, and then a significant increa...

background: the principal aim of this study was therefore to investigate association between family history of osteo porotic hip fracture, bmd and femur geometry in bushehr city in south of iran. methods: in this cross-sectional study, data were obtained from iranian multi-center osteoporosis study (imos) in bushehr. healthy men and women aged 50 to 75 years were selected based on randomized cl...

Most laboratory assays take advantage of multi-step protocols to achieve high performance, but conventional paper-based tests (e.g., lateral flow tests) are generally limited to assays that can be carried out in a single fluidic step. We have developed two-dimensional paper networks (2DPNs) that use materials from lateral flow tests but reconfigure them to enable programming of multi-step reage...
