Evaluation of lower-body gait kinematics on outdoor surfaces using wearable sensors.

The effects of outdoor surfaces on gait are unclear due to difficulties associated with motion tracking outside laboratories. Today, inertial measurement unit (IMU) systems can be deployed to understand the biomechanical adaptations required to navigate real-world environments successfully. This study used IMUs devices to identify lower-limb kinematic adaptations while walking on outdoor surfaces.

Rare Case of Retroperitoneal Lipomatosis in an Indian Woman.

Retroperitoneal lipomatosis is a rare but distinct clinicopathological entity characterized by non encapsulated lipoma development in the retroperitoneum. Presenting complaints in the early stages are vague, and patients with retroperitoneal lipomatosis are often misdiagnosed because considerable abnormality is not detected by abdomino-pelvic sonography. However, because of the progressive nature of this lesion, most patients eventually present with varying degrees of urinary outflow obstruction and end stage renal disease, or bladder malignancies in few cases.

CT scan diagnosis of hepatic adenoma in a case of von Gierke disease.

Hepatic adenoma is a well-defined, benign, solitary tumor of the liver. In individuals with glycogen storage disease I, adenoma tends to occur at a relatively younger age and can be multiple (adenomatosis). Imaging plays a pivotal role in diagnosing hepatic adenoma and in differentiating adenoma from other focal hepatic lesions.
