Different anatomic patterns of the indirect tendon of the rectus femoris.

Purpose: The rectus femoris forms the anterior portion of the quadriceps muscle. It has a proximal tendinous complex, which is constituted by a direct tendon, an indirect tendon, and a variable third tendon. Direct and indirect tendons converge into a common tendon.

A newly discovered membrane at the origin of the proximal tendinous complex of the rectus femoris.

Purpose: The rectus femoris (RF) forms the anterior portion of the quadriceps muscle group. It has a proximal tendinous complex (PTC) which is constituted by a direct tendon (DT), an indirect tendon (IT), and a variable third head. Direct and indirect tendons finally converge into a common tendon (CT).

Analysis of the estimation of bleeding using several proposed haematometric equations.

Purpose: Among various methods for estimating blood loss, the gravimetric method is the most accurate; however, its use in routine practice is complicated. Although several equations have been proposed for this purpose, there is no consensus on the most suitable.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in seven secondary and tertiary hospitals between March and July 2018 including all patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty or hip prosthesis replacement under general or regional anaesthesia.

Human-centred design in industry 4.0: case study review and opportunities for future research.

The transition to industry 4.0 has impacted factories, but it also affects the entire value chain. In this sense, human-centred factors play a core role in transitioning to sustainable manufacturing processes and consumption.

Prevalence and clinical relevance of underlying pathological conditions in painful adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a MRI-based study.

Study Design: Cross-sectional comparative study.

Objectives: Evaluate prevalence and clinical relevance of an underlying pathology in painful adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients after a non-diagnostic history, physical examination and spinal X-ray using Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) as diagnostic tool. Discrepancies regarding indications of routine MRI screening in painful AIS patients are multifactorial.
