The main function of the posterior talocalcaneal ligament (PTL) is to stabilize the posterior subtalar joint in the ankle. PTL is a potential source of pain in chronic subtalar instability. Our knowledge of the anatomy and function of PTL is limited and there are not many studies regarding its morphology. #link# The aim of this study is to provide…[Read more]

Although static electric fields have been effective in controlling ice nucleation, the highest freezing temperature (Tf) of water that can be achieved in an electric field (E) is still uncertain. We performed a systematic study of the effect of an electric field on water freezing by varying the thickness of a dielectric layer and the voltage…[Read more]

The classifier was validated on D2. The classifier was further compared on a subset of D2 (n = 47) against pro-PSA, an isoform of prostate specific antigen (PSA) more linked with CaP, in predicting progression. Performance was evaluated with area under the curve (AUC). A combination of nuclear spatial arrangement, shape, and disorder features were…[Read more]

Survival rates of digital replantation vary in different regions and countries, and Asian surgeons see more challenging cases and have developed some unique methods. Replantation of multiple digits in one or both hands can follow a structure-by-structure method or a digit-by-digit method. For replanting all 10 digits, 3 or 4 teams should be…[Read more]
