Open AccessDo obstetric risk factors truly influence the etiopathogenesis of congenital muscular torticollis?
Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is seen in childhood and presents within months after birth. The etiology remains unknown; however, medical textbooks suggest trauma at birth as a main reason. The aim of ...

Open AccessSystematized water content calculation in cartilage using T1-map** MR estimations: design and validation of a mathematical model
Up to 80 % of cartilage is water; the rest is collagen fibers and proteoglycans. Magnetic resonance (MR) T1-weighted measurements can be employed to calculate the water content of a tissue using T1 map**. In...

Open AccessPhyseal histological morphology after thermal epiphysiodesis using radiofrequency ablation
Several treatments have been described for leg length discrepancy. Epiphysiodesis is the most commonly used because of its effectiveness. Thermal epiphysiodesis using radiofrequency ablation (RFA) alters the g...

Open AccessDoes radiofrequency ablation (RFA) epiphysiodesis affect adjacent joint cartilage?
To test the hypothesis that epiphysiodesis made with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a safe procedure that disrupts the growth plate without damaging the adjacent joint articular cartilage.

Water-content calculation in growth plate and cartilage using MR T1-map** design and validation of a new method in a porcine model
There is a close relation between cartilage health and its hydration state. Current magnetic resonance methods allow visualizing this tissue. However, a quantitative analysis is more useful when studying disea...

The effect of selenium on the localization of autometallographic mercury in dorsal root ganglia of rats
The autometallographic technique was used to demonstrate the localization of mercury in dorsal root ganglia of adult Wistar rats. The animals were either exposed to mercury vapour, 100 μg Hg m−3, 6 h day−1, 5 day...

Localization of mercury in CNS of the rat
The autometallographical technique has been used to determine the distribution and cellular localization of mercury deposits in the Wistar rat CNS after exposure to elemental mercury vapor (50–550 μg Hg/m3 of air...

Autometallographic map** of mercury deposits in the spinal cord of rats treated with inorganic mercury
The autometallographic method has been used in conjunction light and electron microscopy to determine the exact localization of mercury in the rat spinal cord. Adult male Wistar rats were treated intraperitone...

Energy dispersive X-ray analysis of tissue gold after silver amplification by physical development
Rats were treated intraperitoneally with the gold-containing compounds sodium aurothiomalate (Myocrisin), sodium aurothiosulfate (Sanocrysin), and aurothioglucose. Using stem energy dispersive X-ray analysis, ...
