Traumatic luxation of joints of the appendicular skeleton is common.Timely and accurate identification of the luxation is essential to restoring normal function. Physical examination and radiographic assessment are commonly utilized for accurate identification and categorization. Conservative and surgical techniques are employed for treatment of luxations solely and in combination. Selection of appropriate reparative techniques is dependent on the joint injured as well as on other joint- and injury-specific factors.

Bone scan images dataset for study of bone metastases in adult breast cancer patients at IICS-UNA, Paraguay.
Data Brief
February 2025
Universidad Nacional de Asunción, Instituto de Investigaciones en Ciencias de la Salud, San Lorenzo 111421, Paraguay.
This article presents 582 bone scan images from 291 adult patients who attended the Nuclear Medicine Service at the Instituto de Investigaciones en Ciencias de la Salud (IICS) of the Universidad Nacional de Asunción (UNA), Paraguay, between 2020 and 2024. The images were acquired using trimodal SPECT-CT-PET equipment, model AnyScan SCP, and the MEDISO brand. Approximately 20 mCi of technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (Tc-MDP) was administered to each patient, producing whole-body planar images in anterior and posterior projections of the axial and appendicular skeleton with a resolution of 256 × 1024 pixels.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines how the growth and calcification of the appendicular skeleton in the Raja asterias affects its movement in water, highlighting the link between bone structure and fin mechanics.
- It identifies two growth patterns—crustal in larger skeletal parts and catenated in fin radials—showing how differences in development can influence fin flexibility and locomotion.
- The results suggest that unique calcification patterns, especially in the pelvic fins, evolve to meet the mechanical needs of swimming, emphasizing the adaptability of Batoidea fins through their joint structures and specialized designs.
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis of Body Composition in Male Childhood Brain Tumor Survivors.

. Childhood brain tumor survivors (CCSs) are at high risk of developing metabolic syndrome (MetS) and sarcopenia. To date, a tool able to predict any body composition changes or detect them early and increased adiposity (and, therefore, increased likelihood of MetS onset) is still lacking in this population.

Bone lesions of the appendicular skeleton can be caused by primary benign or malignant tumors, metastases, osteomyelitis, or pseudotumors. Conventional radiography plays a crucial role in the initial assessment of osseous lesions and should not be underestimated even in this era of modern complex and advanced imaging technologies. Combined with patient age, clinical symptoms and biology, and lesion features including location, solitary versus multiplicity, density, margin (transitional zone evaluated with Lodwick-Madewell grading score), and, if present, the type of periosteal reaction and matrix mineralization can narrow the differential diagnosis or offer a likely diagnosis.

In mice, variability in adult bone size and density has been observed among common inbred strains. Also, in the group of genes regulating circadian rhythmicity in mice, so called clock genes, changes in body size and skeletal parameters have been noted in knockout mice. Here, we studied the size and density of prominent bones of the axial and appendicular skeleton of clock gene Period-1-deficient (Per1) mice by means of microcomputed tomography.
