Different Murine High-Risk Corneal Transplant Settings Vary Significantly in Their (Lymph)angiogenic and Inflammatory Cell Signatures.

Purpose: Pathologic conditions in the cornea, such as transplant rejection or trauma, can lead to corneal neovascularization, creating a high-risk environment that may compromise subsequent transplantation. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of different types of corneal injury on hemangiogenesis (HA), lymphangiogenesis (LA) and immune cell pattern in the cornea.

Methods: We used five different corneal injury models, namely, incision injury, alkali burn, suture placement, and low-risk keratoplasty, as well as high-risk keratoplasty and naïve corneas as control.

Comparison of males' and females' ratios of anterior-cruciate-ligament width to femoral-intercondylar-notch width: a cadaveric study.

The relative incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries has been reported to be significantly higher in females than in males. Although many hypotheses have been proposed for this discrepancy, no conclusive explanation has reached consensus opinion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare fresh-frozen cadaveric knee specimens to determine whether there is a significant difference between males' and females' ratios of ACL width to femoral intercondylar notch (FIN) width.

Musculocutaneous nerve entrapment revisited.

Compression of the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm (LCNF), the distal sensory termination of the musculocutaneous nerve, can occur below the biceps aponeurosis, most commonly after strenuous elbow extension or forearm pronation. Between 1965 and 1992, 15 patients reported pain in the anterolateral elbow with "burning" into the forearm. There was a minimum 2-year follow-up of all patients in the study (average 13.
