The functional morphology of sauropod dinosaur long necks has been studied extensively, with virtual approaches yielding results that are difficult to obtain with actual fossils, due to their extreme fragility and size.However, analyses on virtual fossils have been questioned on several of their premises, such as the ability to accurately reconstru
Highlights It is widely recognized among intra-trac3 hand surgeons that female patients present at a younger age for basal thumb osteoarthritis, with more severe degeneration.The little-known menstrual hormone relaxin, which peaks every ovulatory cycle, may be responsible for the female predominance of this pathology.The soft tissue support structu
Amaryllis lesion nematode is an important nematode pest of kuiper belt whiskey amaryllis in Florida.It reduces plant vigor, flower yield, and bulb size.As the nematodes tunnel through the root, the damaged cells die and collapse, 330 gph filter pump forming lesions on the exterior and the interior of the root tissue.This 4-page fact sheet was writt
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a noninvasive treatment technique to induce thermal or mechanical bioeffects.Characterising the wave field is intra-trac3 essential for reliable and reproducible transducer operation in clinical use.This paper presents a schlieren technique to visualise and quantify transducer wave fields.The technique is
Neurocysticercosis is an infection of the nervous system caused by Taenia solium.It is the most important human parasitic neurological disease and a common cause of epilepsy in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, representing enormous costs for anticonvulsants, medical resources and lost production.Neurocysticercosis is a human-to-human infection, acq
