AI Article Synopsis

  • Morphometric analysis of bones is crucial for reconstructive surgeries, prosthetics, and forensic medicine to estimate age, sex, and height from skeletal remains.
  • The study analyzed 100 distal humerii by measuring key parameters, including humeral length and various diameters of the trochlea and epicondyles.
  • Understanding the anatomy of distal humeri is essential for effectively treating distal humeral fractures, and the data from this study will aid in that knowledge.

Article Abstract

Morphometric analysis of bones gives essential information for reconstructive surgeries and prosthetics. It is also useful in forensic medicine to identify and estimate age, sex and height from skeletal remains. We have measured and analyzed the following parameters in 100 distal humerii: the maximal length of the humerus, transverse distance between medial epicondyle and lateral epicondyle, horizontal diameter of trochlea, antero-posterior diameter of trochlea, and horizontal distance from medial epicondyle to capitulum. Distal humeral fractures are often challenging and difficult to treat which requires knowledge of distal humeral anatomy. Data from this study and the comparisons made will help in this.

Background: The brain undergoes structural changes during aging, such as gray matter loss, enlarged ventricles, and sulcal widening. However, previous studies have primarily investigated these changes in isolation, without describing the complex spatial relationships between overall brain shape and regions. Here, we tested how gradients of expansion and compression of the global shape of the brain as well as between homologous brain regions across hemispheres are affected by age, and whether these changes further contribute to clinical impairment and cognitive deficits in older adults.

Background: Trimming is critical for a functioning equine hoof. Pressure distribution provides information on loading; however, information on the effects of trimming on pressure distribution is lacking.

Objectives: To describe the pressure changes of equine fore feet following trimming.

Background: The extent to which pathological processes in aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) relate to functional alterations in the medial temporal lobe (MTL)-dependent brain networks is poorly understood. Here, we examined the relationship between tau accumulation in the (trans)entorhinal cortex and functional connectivity (FC) in two MTL-affiliated brain networks - the Anterior-Temporal (AT) and Posterior-Medial (PM) - in normal agers, individuals with preclinical AD, and patients with symptomatic AD.

Method: In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed data from 125 individuals from the Penn ADRC (Table 1).

Purpose Of The Study: Temporary hemiepiphyseodesis using figure-eight plates is currently one of the main surgical techniques to correct axial deformities of lower limbs in paediatric patients. Comprehensive analysis, correct indication and monitoring of treatment are the basic prerequisites for successful therapy. The aim of the study was to analyse parameters that could become an alternative to standard parameters used nowadays, namely the inserted screw angle (SA), and a new parameter - condylar ratio (CR).
