[Radio-anatomical study of the calcaneus. Accuracy of Böhler's angle measurement].

Published: April 1992

The authors have studied variations of Böhler's angle by various radiographic incidences. They have defined anatomic references of this angle on the correspondent dry bone. With the same radiographic incidences, Böhler's angle was 32 degrees. This value remained constant when X-ray incidences were modified with 15 degrees in all the directions from the external profile. Anatomic variations of the 3 references on dry bone which define this angle, were very small. Böhler's angle is therefore a good morphologic reference for evolutive study of each patient. It's variation in population needs comparative radiographic control of the opposite side.

Some technical limitations to using the eccentric mode to measure peak eccentric strength of the hamstrings (PTH) were raised. PTH also has limited validity to predict performance or injury risk factor. Therefore, our aim was to compare PTH and other isokinetic variables tested in the eccentric and passive modes.

A preliminary ex vivo diffusion tensor imaging study of distinct aortic morphologies.

J Anat

January 2025

Trinity Centre for Biomedical Engineering, Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland.

Changes in the microstructure of the aortic wall precede the progression of various aortic pathologies, including aneurysms and dissection. Current clinical decisions with regards to surgical planning and/or radiological intervention are guided by geometric features, such as aortic diameter, since clinical imaging lacks tissue microstructural information. The aim of this proof-of-concept work is to investigate a non-invasive imaging method, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), in ex vivo aortic tissue to gain insights into the microstructure.

Can fundus features tell us something about 3D eye shape?

Ophthalmic Physiol Opt

January 2025

Robert O Curle Ophthalmology Suite, Institute for Regeneration and Repair, The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK.

Purpose: To determine whether imaging features derived from fundus photographs contain 3D eye shape information beyond that available from spherical equivalent refraction (SER).

Methods: We analysed 99 eyes of 68 normal adults in the UK Biobank. An ellipsoid was fitted to the entire volume of each posterior eye (vitreous chamber without the lens)-segmented from magnetic resonance imaging of the brain.

Because of their uniform and regular channels, adjustable pore size, large surface area, controllable wall composition, high hydrothermal stability, ease of functional modification, and good accessibility of larger reactant molecules, mesoporous siliceous SBA-15 is of excellent catalyst carrier that is highly versatile and has been used extensively to prepare a variety of supported catalysts with ideal catalytic properties. In this study, we report the synthesis, characterization, and catalytic application of Cu-Ag/ SBA-15 nanoalloy catalysts towards the control of microorganisms in drinking water has been reported. The Cu-Ag/SBA-15 nanoalloy catalysts with different molar mass ratio of copper to silver (Cu:Ag = 1: 0, 0.
