PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to test the strength of a suture capsulorrhaphy repair versus a capsulolabral repair with knotless suture anchors in a cadaveric model with anteroinferior shoulder instability. METHODS Fourteen cadaveric shoulders were tested with either a suture capsulorrhaphy to the intact labrum or a capsulolabral advancement using a knotless suture anchor into the gle...

Failed rotator cuff repair may be caused by surgical complications, diagnostic errors, technical errors, failure to heal, and traumatic failure. Revision rotator cuff repair is made technically more difficult by poor tissue quality, tissue adhesions, and retained suture and suture anchor material. Historically, open revision rotator cuff repair yields inferior results compared with primary rota...

PURPOSE Suture anchors are used consistently for repairs of soft tissues, especially around the glenohumeral joint. These anchors can be used either arthroscopically or in an open procedure to anatomically restore the labrum and capsular tissues to the glenoid after avulsion injuries (Bankart lesion). The purpose of this study was to analyze the pullout strength of a new knotless suture anchor ...

In this paper, we describe our work in NTCIR-10 on the task of cross-lingual link discovery (CLLD). Our proposed method is focused mainly on two aspects in order to accomplish this task: how to find important anchors from an original article in order to crosslink and how to find the correct links to articles in the target language for the original articles. The system first uses online data col...

The locations of chromatin loops in Drosophila were determined by Hi-C (chemical cross-linking, restriction digestion, ligation, and high-throughput DNA sequencing). Whereas most loop boundaries or "anchors" are associated with CTCF protein in mammals, loop anchors in Drosophila were found most often in association with the polycomb group (PcG) protein Polycomb (Pc), a subunit of polycomb repre...

Lexical cooccurrence in textual data is not uniformly random. The statistics inferred from the termcooccurrence data enable us to model dependencies between terms as graphs, somewhat resembling the way semantic memory is organised in human beings. In this paper we look at cooccurrence patterns to identify topical anchors of a given context. A context is defined as a collection of terms and topi...

The goal of this article is to investigate ultra wideband localization with time difference arrival processing at the anchors. We consider scenarios where anchors are placed very close each other and target be localized around group All target–anchor communications assumed in line-of-sight. Since our analysis shows that symmetries anchors’ placement, respect position, degrade positioning accura...

We calculate partition coefficients of various chain anchors in liquid-ordered and liquid-disordered phases utilizing a theoretical model of a bilayer membrane containing cholesterol, dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine, and dioleoylphosphatidylcholine. The partition coefficients are calculated as a function of chain length, degree of saturation, and temperature. Partitioning depends on the differe...
