This article concerns the development of myocardial architecture--crucial for contractile performance of the heart and its conduction system, essential for generation and coordinated spread of electrical activity. Topics discussed include molecular determination of cardiac phenotype (contractile and conducting), remodeling of ventricular wall architecture and its blood supply, and relation of trabecular compaction to noncompaction cardiomyopathy. Illustrated are the structure and function of the tubular heart, time course of trabecular compaction, and development of multilayered spiral systems of the compact layer.

Semi-Automatic Refinement of Myocardial Segmentations for Better LVNC Detection.

Hospital Virgen de la Arrixaca, 30120 Murcia, Spain.
Accurate segmentation of the left ventricular myocardium in cardiac MRI is essential for developing reliable deep learning models to diagnose left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC). This work focuses on improving the segmentation database used to train these models, enhancing the quality of myocardial segmentation for more precise model training. We present a semi-automatic framework that refines segmentations through three fundamental approaches: (1) combining neural network outputs with expert-driven corrections, (2) implementing a blob-selection method to correct segmentation errors and neural network hallucinations, and (3) employing a cross-validation process using the baseline U-Net model.

- - The study investigates the stability of uncemented hip implants during total hip arthroplasty (THA) by examining bone compaction and the contact area between bone and implant using μCT scans of cadaveric femur samples.
- - Researchers quantified the surgical-induced bone compaction using parameters like displacement and strain, and assessed bone volume fraction changes, finding that bone deformity and increased contact area were achieved despite limited bone-implant contact.
- - The results highlight key behaviors of bone-implant interactions, offering valuable data for pre-surgical planning and improving implant selection for better stability in uncemented THA procedures.
Specialized post-arterial capillaries facilitate adult bone remodelling.

The vasculature of the skeletal system is crucial for bone formation, homoeostasis and fracture repair, yet the diversity and specialization of bone-associated vessels remain poorly understood. Here we identify a specialized type of post-arterial capillary, termed type R, involved in bone remodelling. Type R capillaries emerge during adolescence around trabecular bone, possess a distinct morphology and molecular profile, and are associated with osteoprogenitors and bone-resorbing osteoclasts.

The case of a 75-year-old man with a glioblastoma of the right frontal lobe showing features of adenoid glioblastoma is reported. The tumor consisted of two components: the adenoid component, in which large, cohesive, polygonal cells with vesicular nuclei and abundant basophilic cytoplasm showed nest-like, trabecular, or tubular growth on the myxoid matrix and formed a multinodular configuration; and the subsidiary component, in which short spindle cells showed compact fascicular growth. The features of ordinary glioblastoma were also found in a small area.

Materials And Methods: A total of 60 patients, aged between 20 and 50 years, with radicular cysts of the jaws, were selected for inclusion into the clinical studies. All patients were divided into groups I and II, who underwent cystectomy and bone plastic surgery according to the standard technique using mineralized CenoBone®.
