We have recently developed an analytical framework to interpret the results of pulsed field gradient (PFG) NMR experiments on solution samples of micron-sized amyloid fibrils [Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 60 (2021) 15445-15451. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.202102408]. Here we generalize this result by reporting a rigorous theoretical model of such experiments, implemented in a form of efficient computational scheme. In particular, the new treatment fully accounts for the anisotropy of fibrils' translational diffusion and takes into consideration the finite length of the gradient pulses. The results hold not only for the historic spin-echo sequence, but also for the widely used stimulated echo experiment. We have found that fibrils' rotation can attenuate the echo by a factor comparable with that of translation. However, contrary to some recent claims, the rotational mechanism cannot lead to an apparent fast-diffusion situation.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the e!ect of arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) alone and ABR with an additional remplissage procedure on joint range of motion and functional results in patients with anterior shoulder instability.

Methods: This retrospective study included patients treated 1 year ago with either ABR alone or the ABR additional remplissage procedure. The Bankart lesion was determined by magnetic resonance imaging, and the amount of glenoid bone loss was determined by computed tomography.

Objective: This study aimed to clarify the relationship between the directions of humeral head translation, the presence of acromial or coracoid spurs, and the locations of tendon tears in massive rotator cuff tears. Thirty shoulders from thirty patients with massive rotator cuff tears who underwent reverse shoulder arthroplasty were included. Preoperative 3DCT classified humeral head translation into three groups: minimal type, posterosuperior type, and anterosuperior type.

Background: The underlying shoulder pathology in radiographic superior escape of the humeral head and association between acromiohumeral interval (AHI) on radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are poorly understood.

Methods: A retrospective review of shoulder radiographs and MRI scans was undertaken. AHI was measured using both modalities.

The fungal genus Fusarium is a treasure-trove of structurally diverse secondary metabolites, contributed greatly by marine-derived strains. A new cedrane sesquiterpene, fusacedrol (1), and a new fusarin member, fusarin M (2), were isolated from F. graminearum 12Ⅱ2N that was isolated as an endophyte from the marine brown alga Sargassum sp.
