AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Synovial plicae are vestigial folds of synovium in a joint, most widely recognized in the knee and also in the elbow and hip joints. The most commonly shared theory on the origin of plicae is that they are the remnants of the membranes that divide the synovial cavitations during normal joint development. Synovial folds do not generally cause any symptoms. However, they can become inflamed, thickened, fibrosed, and also impinged in the joint, leading to mechanical symptoms and chondral damage. This article presents an overview of the embryological origin of plicae, their anatomy, pathologies, and appearances on imaging. We also discuss the lesser known plicae in various other areas.

Endoparasites of peritoneal organs and skeletal muscles of the European wildcat (Felis silvestris) in Germany.
Parasit Vectors
November 2024
Institute for Parasitology, Centre for Infection Medicine, University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Buenteweg 17, 30559, Hanover, Germany.
Background: For several decades, the European wildcat (Felis silvestris) has gradually been returning to the forests of Germany, mainly in the central and southwestern regions. To increase the knowledge about this threatened species, the endoparasite status of dead found specimens from Germany was surveyed.
Methods: A total of 118 wildcats were examined for endoparasites in peritoneal organs and skeletal muscles.
Multimodal Optical Imaging of Ex Vivo Fallopian Tubes to Distinguish Early and Occult Tubo-Ovarian Cancers.
Cancers (Basel)
October 2024
Department of Integrative Oncology, British Columbia Cancer Research Institute, 675 W 10th Avenue, Vancouver, BC V5Z 1L3, Canada.
There are currently no effective screening measures to detect early or occult tubo-ovarian cancers, resulting in late-stage detection and high mortality. This work explores whether an optical imaging catheter can detect early-stage tubo-ovarian cancers or precursor lesions where they originate in the fallopian tubes. This device collects co-registered optical coherence tomography (OCT) and autofluorescence imaging (AFI).

September 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University, 3-1-1, Maidashi, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka, 812-8582, Japan.
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical features and prognosis of conjunctival melanoma in Japanese patients.

Methods: Twenty patients (8 men and 12 women) diagnosed with conjunctival melanoma at a singlehospital between 2003 and 2017 were analyzed.
Evaluation of lateral epicondylopathy, posterior interosseous nerve compression, and plica syndrome as co-existing causes of chronic tennis elbow.
Int Orthop
July 2023
Department of Anatomy, Jagiellonian University Medical College, Mikołaja Kopernika 12, 33-332, Kraków, Poland.
Purpose: A great number of patients that suffer from lateral epicondylitis, commonly called tennis elbow (TE), are not successfully treated, meaning, not getting adequate therapeutic effects and the main origin of the pain not being handled appropriately. The hypothesis of the present study is that the inefficiency of the treatment of the chronic TE may often be due to underdiagnosis of posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) entrapment or and plica syndrome, as the authors believe that those pathologies can often occur simultaneously.
Methods: A prospective cross sectional study was conducted.
