Background. Remnant preservation was developed as a routine procedure for posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction, but it is not easy. Objectives. Our study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of a minimum 5-years follow-up of remnant preservation PCL reconstruction. Methods. The study was a prospective cohort analysis of 44 patients who underwent PCL reconstruction with remnant preservat...

BACKGROUND Attempts have been made to validate the significance of remnant preservation with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using immunohistochemical and immunocytochemical techniques. The purpose of this study was to examine the expression of mechanoreceptors in the remnant tissue of ACL reconstruction performed with the remnant-preserving technique. METHODS Tissue samples w...

Remnant trees, spared from cutting when tropical forests are cleared for agriculture or grazing, act as nuclei of forest regeneration following field abandonment. Previous studies on remnant trees were primarily conducted in active pasture or old fields abandoned in the previous 2-3 years, and focused on structure and species richness of regenerating forest, but not species composition. Our stu...

Chromium(III)-doped nickel–ferrite nanoparticles, with the general formula Ni0.5Co0.5CrxFe2−xO4 (x = 0.0, 0.10, and 0.20), were prepared by sol–gel method. The samples sintered at 700°C for 5 hr. XRD result showed that are in single-phase partially inverse cubic spinel ferrite structures space group Fd3m. From characterization, average crystallite size all decreased from 39.54 to 30.42 nm latti...

The uses of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) remnant tissue as a potential accelerant of graft remodeling1e3 and promoter of better knee stability4 have recently attracted attention. However, ACL remnant tissue is generally resected during ACL reconstruction to provide a clear visual field.5 Several investigators have therefore developed and implemented a procedure that includes remnant tissue ...

This review focuses on remnant cholesterol as a causal risk factor for ischemic heart disease (IHD), on its definition, measurement, atherogenicity, and levels in high risk patient groups; in addition, present and future pharmacological approaches to lowering remnant cholesterol levels are considered. Observational studies show association between elevated levels of remnant cholesterol and incr...

The spinel MnV(2)O(4) is a two-sublattice ferrimagnet, with site A occupied by the Mn(2+) ion and site B by the V(3+) ion. The magnon of the system, the transversal fluctuation of the total magnetization, is a complicated mixture of the sublattice A and B transversal magnetic fluctuations. As a result, the magnons' fluctuations suppress in a different way the manganese and vanadium sublattice m...

Controversy surrounds the remnant-preserving anterior cruciate ligament surgery. Advantages of remnant preservation have been reported in regard to better healing and knee function, although no consensus has been reached. This review article discussed the value and meaning of anterior cruciate ligament remnant preservation in several sections such as effects on healing, remnant classification, ...

Magnetization dynamics can be coherently controlled by THz laser excitation, which can be applied in ultrafast magnetization control and switching. Here, transient magnetization dynamics are calculated for excitation with THz magnetic field pulses. We use the ansatz of Smit and Beljers, to formulate dynamic properties of the magnetization via partial derivatives of the samples free energy densi...

INTRODUCTION Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is the most common surgically treated ligament injury. Many efforts have been taken to reconstruct it as anatomically as possible to restore knee stability and, possibly, prevent knee osteoarthritis. SOURCES OF DATA A literature search was performed using the isolated or combined keywords 'ACL augmentation remnant', 'ACL reconstruction and...
