Carpal kinematics of lunotriquetral dissociations.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the carpal kinematics after serial arthroscopic sectioning of the ligaments at the lunotriquetral joint, without damaging the capsule and other soft tissues of the wrist. Six cadaver wrists were studied and a custom designed three-dimensional mechanical digitizer was utilized. Three sets of digitization were performed for a normal state, after arthroscopic sectioning of lunotriquetral interosseous ligament (stage A), and after further sectioning of volar radiolunotriquetral ligament (stage B).

Cholesterol concentration of longissimus muscle, subcutaneous fat and serum of two beef cattle breed types.

The cholesterol concentration of uncooked and cooked longissimus muscle, uncooked subcutaneous fat and serum, as affected by days on feed, breed type and sex class in a factorial arrangement, and the relationship between serum cholesterol and tissue cholesterol were studied. Days on feed, breed type and sex class had no effect (P greater than .05) on tissue cholesterol concentrations.
