Purpose: This study sought to evaluate the biomechanical properties of the interface between the rotator cuff and the semicircular humeral ligament or rotator cable (RCa) using histological and biomechanical techniques.

Methods: Out of 13 eligible cadaver specimens, 5 cadaver shoulders with an intact rotator cuff were included, 8 were excluded due to an injured rotator cuff. The histological study enables us to describe the capsule-tendon interface between the infraspinatus tendon (IST) or supraspinatus tendon (SST) and RCa, and to detect loose connective tissue layers to determine their precise location and measure their length along the interface.

Article Synopsis
  • Endometriosis is a chronic condition that negatively affects women's fertility, and the study aims to explore the relationship between preoperative Enzian scores and postoperative fertility outcomes after deep pelvic endometriosis surgery.
  • A retrospective study conducted at Rennes University Hospital analyzed data from women who underwent surgery for deep endometriosis, utilizing the ENDOREN database to assess the correlation between MRI-based Enzian scores and live birth rates.
  • Results showed a live birth rate of 35%, identifying the Enzian B score as a positive predictor for live births, while factors like uterine adenomyosis and previous endometriosis surgeries were found to negatively impact fertility outcomes.

Objective: MRI is a reliable and accurate technique to characterize rheumatoid arthritis. The aim of this study was to provide voxel-by-voxel 3D maps of the proton density fat fraction (PDFF), the T of water (T), the T of fat (T), the T* of water (T*), the T* of fat (T*) in the wrist bone marrow.

Materials And Methods: The experiments were conducted on 14 healthy volunteers (mean age: 24 ± 4).

Purpose To evaluate the validity and reproducibility of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-based ovarian morphologic measurements for diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in adolescents. Materials and Methods This case-control study included 110 adolescent girls (age range, 13-17 years) who underwent pelvic MR imaging in 2006-2015. The case group included girls with high (n = 40, hyperandrogenism and oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea), intermediate (n = 8, hyperandrogenism), or low (n = 7, oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea) suspicion of PCOS.
