Large-head metal-on-metal (MoM) hip arthroplasties have demonstrated poor survival. Damage at the taper-trunnion junction is a contributing factor; however, influence of design not well understood.(1) Does taper type affect fretting, corrosion, and volumetric wear junction? (2) Do types different patterns? (3) larger offset or head diameter increase wear? (4) Is extent fretting corrosion associated with earlier failure?Taper damage in 40 retrieved heads was subjectively graded for determined...

A multiphoton microscope employing second-harmonic generation (SHG) and two-photon excited fluorescence (TPF) is used for high-resolution ex vivo imaging of rabbit cornea in a backscattering geometry. Endogenous TPF SHG signals from corneal cells extracellular matrix, respectively, are clearly visible without exogenous dyes. Spectral characterization these upconverted provides confirmation the structural origin both SHG, spectral facilitates separation keratocyte epithelial collagen-rich...

We present a digital spectral shaping technique to reduce the sidelobes (ringing) of axial point-spread function in optical coherence tomography for non-Gaussian-shaped source spectra. The spectra two superluminescent diodes were combined generate spectrum with significant modulation. Images onion cells demonstrate improved image quality turbid biological sample. A quantitative analysis accompanying penalty signal-to-noise ratio is given.

Background: Proximal femoral deformities and overcorrection of the acetabulum both can result in secondary femoroacetabular impingement suboptimal clinical results after periacetabular osteotomy. The purpose present study was to determine rate complications, need for reoperations, radiographic correction, hip function among patients who underwent osteotomy combined head-neck osteochondroplasty as compared with those alone. Methods: Patients or without junction were evaluated retrospectively...

Adverse tissue reactions associated with metal-on-metal (MOM) hips are common in resurfacing and total hip arthroplasty (THA) designs. The etiology of these painful, well-positioned arthroplasties is inconsistently described.The purposes this study were to compare the (1) articular wear rates; (2) histologic findings; (3) synovial response on MRI; (4) graded intraoperative damage between well-positioned, MOM revised for unexplained pain other reasons (5) determine whether presence a taper...

Motion of the sample arm fiber in optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems can dynamically alter polarization state light incident on tissue during imaging, with consequences for both conventional and polarization-sensitive (PS-)OCT.Endoscopic OCT is particularly susceptible to polarization-related effects, since most cases, transverse scanning mechanism involves motion create an image.We investigated effects a system, demonstrate that by referencing backscattered from within measured at...

The systemic bias for aesthetic preferences demonstrated by prior research is thought to reflect neural organisation. Research on preference and laterality has usually been conducted with participants who read a left-to-right Roman script, e.g., English. In order determine if the judgments were influenced habitual scanning direction, we administered geometric test 578 right-handed adults represented range of script experience, i.e., readers (English); right-to-left Arabic readers;...
