INTRODUCTION Degenerative rotator cuff tears are a common problem, affecting greater than 30% of the general population [1]. Rotator cuff tears most commonly occur in the supraspinatus tendon near the insertion site [2]. There is a high failure rate of rotator cuff tear repairs, and this failure typically occurs at the tendon-suture interface [3]. By determining localized differences in rotator...

We reviewed the radiographs of 325 unselected patients with defects in the pars interarticularis of L5 to study whether the incidence of vertebral slip in spondylolysis of L5 remained unchanged after the age of 20 years. MRI was also carried out on 111 of the patients to investigate the relationship between the shape of the transverse process of L5 and the degeneration of the discs adjacent to ...

In a substrain of C57BL mice, C57BL/Ola, Wallerian degeneration in the distal segment of the severed sciatic nerve is extremely slow when compared to other mice. Despite this very slow degeneration in the distal segment regeneration of the motor nerves is not impaired. From suitable genetic outcrosses and backcrosses, the authors provide evidence that the rate of Wallerian degeneration in this ...

Corticobasal degeneration is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that typically presents with asymmetrical parkinsonism and cognitive dysfunction. Recent molecular advances have given some clues to the pathogenesis of the disease. Clinical diagnosis is complicated by both the variability of presentation of true corticobasal degeneration, for example as a dementing illness, and the syndromes...

75 Introduction and history While historical review suggests earlier reports of the entity now known as corticobasal degeneration (CBD), the disease was fi rst clearly described in a series of three cases in 1968, when it was termed corticodentatonigral degeneration with neuronal achromasia [ 1 ]. Subsequent terminology has included corticonigral degeneration with neuronal achromasia [ 2 ], cor...

Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) are sporadic atypical parkinsonian disorders associated with 4-repeat tauopathies. These neurodegenerative conditions closely overlap in their clinical information, pathology, genetic risk factors ; therefore, it is difficult to accurately diagnose CBS PSP. Recently, an unsupervised machine-learning technique, called Subtype S...

This study aims to examine the effect of temperature and duration pasteurization exposure on osteosarcoma tumor tissue degeneration, necrosis, cell viability. Using tissue, researchers evaluated viability following pasteurization. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was utilized assess degeneration whereas CKAP4 immunohistochemical (IHC) The Kruskal-Wallis test showed a significant increase in dege...
