Design: A retrospective, cross-sectional image analysis using a convenience sample.
Subjects: Five cases selected based on the availability of comprehensive imaging data.
Methods: This study involved a retrospective review of images from five cases, focusing on the use of retinal monochromatic blue light reflectance (BLR) imaging to detect non-perfusion areas.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the femoral head moves (translates) in asymptomatic hips and its relationship with hip rotation and anatomy.
- The researchers hypothesized that translations of the femoral head would be significant and correlated with femoral rotations and hip morphology.
- Using MRI, they found that the femoral head exhibited notable translations in various positions, and certain translations were statistically significant, suggesting a link between hip geometry and movement patterns.
Background: The sphericity of the femoral head is a metric used to evaluate hip pathologies and is associated with the development of osteoarthritis and femoral-acetabular impingement.
Aim: To analyze the three-dimensional asphericity of the femoral head of asymptomatic pediatric hips. We hypothesized that femoral head asphericity will vary significantly between male and female pediatric hips and increase with age in both sexes.
Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss. Photobiomodulation (PBM) offers a controversial approach for managing dry AMD, aiming to halt or reverse progression through mitochondrial activity modulation. However, the efficacy and clinical relevance of PBM as a potential approach for managing dry AMD remain debated.

(2) How do automatic 3D-based computed tomography (CT) measurements of femoral version compare to the most commonly used 2D-based measurements utilizing four different landmarks? Retrospective study (May 2017 to June 2018) evaluating 45 symptomatic patients (57 hips, mean age 18.7 ± 5.1 years) undergoing pelvic and femoral CT.
