Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of frostbite on feet using Cell Alive System (CAS) freezer with an oscillating magnetic field. We recently reported the application of the CAS freezer to the cryopreservation of various tissues, but did not evaluate the effects of frostbite after freezing. In order to characterize how a freezer with a magnetic field affects fro...

This study involved a biomechanical examination of the first and second tarsometatarsal (TMT) joints. In the in vitro testing protocol, physiologic joint moments were applied to the first and second TMT joints of 10 cadaver specimens, which had been dissected to yield only the midfoot components comprising the tarsals, metatarsals, and associated ligaments. The isolated joints were placed in a ...

The aim of this study was to produce a sensitive, simple and rapid diagnostic method for the detection of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) in suspected cases of FMD, a one-step single-tube method of reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal polymerase amplification (RT-LAMP). A set of six common primers was designed to target the highly conserved region of the RNA polymerase 3Dpol gene ...
