Osteoarthritis is mainly a familiar kind of arthritis when an elastic tissue named Cartilage that softens the tops bones, cracks down. The Person with osteoarthritis can encompass joint pain, inflexibility, or inflammation and there no particular examination for physicians take amalgamation both medical cum clinical record X-rays imaging analysis to make diagnosis state. generally only detected...

OBJECTIVE To define the modulus of elasticity for nasal septum, auricular, upper lateral, and lower lateral cartilages. METHODS Prospective enrollment of sequential patients undergoing septorhinoplasty. Test samples were obtained through routine surgical interventions using atraumatic harvesting techniques. The modulus of elasticity was determined using a customized biomechanical testing devi...

Introduction: Quantitative high-frequency ultrasound has been successfully used for the evaluation of articular cartilage e.g. reveal osteoarthritis related changes. During the degenerative process mechano acoustical properties of cartilage change: surface roughness, collagen and proteoglycan contents, and the density are affected. These changes can be detected as changes in variation of ultras...

objective articular cartilage as an avascular skeletal tissue possesses limited capacity to heal. on the other hand, it is believed that the regeneration capacity of each tissue is largely related to its stem cell contents. little is known about the presence of mesenchymal stem cells in articular cartilage tissue. this subject is investigated in the present study. materials and methods articula...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Dorsal nasal irregularities after trauma, and various procedures such as excessive nasal hump resection, are major problems for patients who have undergone rhinoplasty. Many grafts have been described for the correction of dorsal nasal irregularities. In this study, we used an injectable implant, in combination with diced or block cartilage grafts, to test the efficacy of ...

The preoperative planning of primary tumor resections in the larynx region shall be supported by a 3D visualization of the patientspecific anatomy and pathological situation. This requires a segmentation of the larynx cartilage structures from CT datasets. In our work, we apply and adapt stable 3D mass-spring models to create a 3D deformable shape model for the segmentation of the thyroid carti...

Rib fractures are a common morbidity following automotive crashes. While the rib bones are wellcharacterized, and articular cartilage from joints such as the knee and shoulder has been extensively mechanically characterized, almost no mechanical examination has been performed of the rib-cage costal cartilage. Costal cartilage is a hyaline cartilage, like articular cartilage, but it differs from...

Maximal expiratory flow in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) could be reduced by three different mechanisms; loss of lung elastic recoil, decreased airway conductance upstream of flow-limiting segments; and increased collapsibility of airways. We hypothesized that decreased upstream conductance would be related to inflammation and thickening of the airway walls, increased collapsibil...
