Momordica charantia Enhances Tendon Healing in Rats: An Experimental Study.

Momordica charantia (MC) is a traditional plant widely used since ancient times for wound healing. This study evaluated its potential effects on tendon healing. Adult male Wistar albino rats (n = 32, 8 rats in each group) were anesthetized, and their Achilles tendons were prepared for surgical procedures.

Clinical Significance of Shear Wave Ultrasound Elastography in Patients With Idiopathic Adhesive Capsulitis: Can It Be Used Instead of Magnetic Resonance Imaging as an Early Indicator?

The aim of this study was to evaluate the elasticity of the supraspinatus (SSp) and infraspinatus (ISp) tendons and coracohumeral ligament (CHL), as well as the thickness of CHL in patients diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis (AC) using ultrasound (US) and 2D shear wave elastography (2D-SWE), determining their contributions to diagnosis and stage differentiation.This prospective case-control study was conducted between January 2020 and May 2021. In all cases, the ultrasound examinations were performed using the virtual touch quantification and expressed as shear wave velocity (SWV) in meters per second.

Preparation of Notch-4 Receptor Containing Quartz Crystal Microbalance Biosensor for MDA MB 231 Cancer Cell Detection.

Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) is a highly sensitive system that is used as a biosensor for biomolecules and cells. Detection and characterization of cancer cells in circulation or biopsy samples is of crucial importance for cancer diagnosis. Here, we introduce approaches for breast cancer cell detection via their surface molecules.

Microfluidic Systems for Cancer Diagnosis and Applications.

Microfluidic devices have led to novel biological advances through the improvement of micro systems that can mimic and measure. Microsystems easily handle sub-microliter volumes, obviously with guidance presumably through laminated fluid flows. Microfluidic systems have production methods that do not need expert engineering, away from a centralized laboratory, and can implement basic and point of care analysis, and this has attracted attention to their widespread dissemination and adaptation to specific biological issues.

Functional and radiological results of partial capitate shortening osteotomy in the treatment of Kienböck's disease.

This study assessed the functional and radiological results of partial capitate shortening osteotomy in the treatment of Lichtman stage 2 and 3A Kienböck's disease. Nineteen patients who underwent partial capitate shortening osteotomy between 2014 and 2017 were included. Functional and radiological parameters were assessed both pre- and postoperatively.
