Abstract:
The velocity at which a muscle fascicle will shorten, and hence the force that it can develop, depends on its gearing within the muscle belly. Muscle fascicle length depends on both its pennation and the thickness of the muscle. It was expected that external compression would reduce the muscle thickness and pennation and thus cause a reduction to the gearing of the fascicles relative to the muscle belly. Structural properties of the medial gastrocnemius muscle were visualized using B-mode ultrasound in six subjects. Measurements were taken during cyclical isotonic contractions at three differe

Abstract:
The maximum force-generating capacity of a muscle is dependent on the lengths and velocities of its contractile apparatus. Muscle-tendon unit (MTU) length changes can be estimated from joint kinematics; however, contractile element length changes are more difficult to predict during dynamic contractions. The aim of this study was to compare vastus lateralis (VL) MTU and fascicle level force-length and force-velocity relationships, and dynamic muscle function while cycling at a constant submaximal power output (2.5 W/kg) with different cadences. We hypothesized that manipulating cadence at a co

Abstract:
Inspired by elastic energy storage and return in tendons of human leg muscle-tendon units (MTU), exoskeletons often place a spring in parallel with an MTU to assist the MTU. However, this might perturb the normally efficient MTU mechanics and actually increase active muscle mechanical work. This study tested the effects of elastic parallel assistance on MTU mechanics. Participants hopped with and without spring-loaded ankle exoskeletons that assisted plantar flexion.

Tendon elastic strain energy is the dominant contributor to muscle–tendon work during steady-state running. Does this behaviour also occur for sprint accelerations? We used experimental data and computational modelling to quantify muscle fascicle work and tendon elastic strain energy for the human ankle plantar flexors (specifically soleus and medial gastrocnemius) for multiple foot contacts of a maximal sprint as well as for running at a steady-state speed. Positive work done by the soleus and medial gastrocnemius muscle fascicles decreased incrementally throughout the maximal sprint and both

Compared with quadrupeds, bipedal runners of the same weight have longer legs, take longer steps and can presumably use slower, more economical muscle fibers. One might predict that bipedal running is less expensive, but it is not. We hypothesized that bipeds recruit a larger volume of muscle to support their weight, eliminating the potential economy of longer legs and slower steps. To test our hypothesis, we calculated the relative volume of muscle needed to support body weight over a stride in small dogs (Canis familiaris) and wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) of the same weight.

Abstract:
Abstract Embryonic and fetal ontogenesis of the central nervous system is realized by genetically programmed developmental processes with precise timing of onset. Both anatomical development and timing are altered in brain malformations. Keratan sulfate (KS) proteoglycan is a key axonal pathfinding guide and insulator of tracts and fascicles within the central nervous system and an essential determinant of the equilibrium of excitation and inhibition at the level of the individual neuron during development. KS is selective by repelling glutamatergic axons and facilitating GABAergic axons at sites of synapse formation. Its demonstration by immunocytochemistry provides another perspective for understanding epileptogenesis at the cellular level in brain resections for epilepsy and at autopsy, including fetal tissues. Examples of malformations in which epileptogenesis is influenced by KS are polymicrogyria, schizencephaly, focal cortical dysplasias, holoprosencephaly, and Down syndrome.

Abstract:
Abstract A few new areas probably emerged in the human cortex, but the major development was a dramatic expansion of the typically layered areas (more commonly known as homotypical association cortex). Mainly because of their enlargement, the cortex expanded into the modern human size range, mostly in the past two million years. A transcortical network that includes connections between temporal and frontal cortex via the arcuate fascicle enlarged and reorganized. In addition, the hippocampus decreased in relative size during most of anthropoid evolution but increased during human evolution, which reflects new inputs and functions. The genetic mechanisms of cortical expansion include gene duplications that extend neural stem-cell proliferation and keep neurons in an immature state, thus increasing the number of dendritic spines and synapses. A within-gene deletion in the chimpanzee–human common ancestor promoted synaptogenesis in the prefrontal cortex.

Abstract:
The management of medically refractory cancer pain is a complex, multi-disciplinary effort. When optimal medical management has failed, neuroablative and neuromodulatory efforts can be used. While neuromodulation is an attractive option due its minimally invasive nature, neuroablation offers the advantage of high efficacy and the lack of maintenance or upkeep requirements. Punctate midline myelotomy is an ablative procedure targeting the ascending visceral pain pathway in the dorsal columns. The procedure can be performed through an open approach creating a mechanical lesion, or percutaneously via either a mechanical lesion or radiofrequency ablation. Careful attention to the spinal cord midline during lesion creation and attention to surgical technique, including an excellent fascial closure, can minimize potential complications.

Also, the proposal for this chapter is to indicate the possibility of utilizing shear wave elastography for musculoskeletal injury, not only properties of the muscle but also fascial tissues.

Abstract:
Binocular diplopia is usually caused by strabismus, whereas monocular diplopia is usually caused by ocular diseases. Incomitant diplopia is usually caused by an acquired strabismus resulting from abnormal innervation or mechanical restriction. The oculomotor (third) nerve: ■ Innervates the medial rectus, superior rectus, inferior rectus, inferior oblique, and levator palpebrae muscles ■ Carries parasympathetic fibers to the iris sphincter and the ciliary body. ■ Common causes of third nerve palsy: Adults: aneurysms, vascular disease (including ischemia, diabetes, hypertension, and inflammatory arteritis), trauma, migraine Children: birth trauma, accidental trauma, neonatal hypoxia, migraine The third nerve originates from the oculomotor nucleus complex, which lies at the ventral border of the periaqueductal gray matter in the midbrain. The nerve fascicle passes ventrally through the medial longitudinal fasciculus, the tegmentum, the red nucleus, and the substantia nigra, and finally emerges from the cerebral peduncle to form the oculomotor nerve trunk, which lies between the superior cerebellar and posterior cerebral arteries. The nerve then passes through the subarachnoid space, running beneath the free edge of the tentorium. It continues lateral to the posterior communicating artery and below the temporal lobe uncus, where it runs over the petroclinoid ligament. It pierces the dura mater at the top of the clivus to enter the cavernous sinus. Within the cavernous sinus, the nerve runs along the lateral wall of the sinus together with the trochlear nerve and the ophthalmic (V1) and maxillary (V2) divisions of the trigeminal nerve. As it leaves the cavernous sinus, it divides into the superior and inferior divisions, which pass through the superior orbital fissure, and enters the orbit within the annulus of Zinn. Within the orbit, the smaller superior division runs lateral to the optic nerve and ophthalmic artery and supplies the superior rectus and levator palpebrae muscles. The larger inferior division supplies the medial rectus, inferior rectus, and inferior oblique muscles, as well as the iris sphincter and ciliary body.

Abstract:
Rupture of vascular tissue in the circulatory system under non-impact loading is involved in potentially life threatening events such as Marfan’s syndrome or rupture of small renal veins during shock wave lithotripsy. The rupture mechanisms are not well-understood. The complexity of the artery wall precludes the use of rupture theories invented for metals or for fibered composites with a homogeneous matrix. Artery tissue is composed of ground material, smooth muscle cells, elastin and collagen. The collagen fibers, which are generally circumferentially oriented, are the load carrying material

Abstract:
The annulus fibrosus (AF) is a multi-lamellar fibrocartilagenous ring in the intervertebral disc. The variation of biochemical composition from the outer to the inner AF is largely responsible for the heterogeneous mechanical properties. In vitro tissue-level studies require mechanical testing in aqueous buffers to avoid tissue dehydration. The varying glycosaminoglycan (GAG) contents from outer to inner AF suggest that the response to high and low PBS osmolarity may also be different with radial position. Previous studies in tendon and ligament have been conflicting: soaking tendon fascicles

Abstract:
Load-bearing tissues owe their mechanical properties to the presence of highly-organized arrays of collagen fibrils. Aligned lamellae in cornea and aligned fascicles in tendon are the best examples of collagen fibrillar organization at the macroscopic level. The process by which collagen is organized in the extracellular matrix (ECM) is still unclear. But it is generally thought to be facilitated locally via “fibripositors” or cell surface “crypts”. According to this theory, fibroblasts create bounded “compartments” in the ECM through which they deposit organized groups of fibrils (in the form

Abstract:
Hernia repair continues to be one of the major problems faced by surgeons. Up to 10% of laparotomies are complicated by post-operative incisional hernia, carrying with it a myriad of complications ranging from cosmetic disfigurement to life-threatening strangulation of the bowel [1]. A large percentage of these incisional hernias will recur following surgical repair leading to a more vicious cycle of hernia, followed by repair, followed by hernia. It is therefore imperative to create a more optimum wound-healing environment. The intent of this study was to investigate a novel approach for sign

Abstract:
In tendons and ligaments, collagen is organized hierarchically into nanoscale fibrils, microscale fibers and mesoscale fascicles. Force transfer across scales is complex and poorly understood, and macroscale strains are not representative of the microscale strains [1]. Since innervation, the vasculature, damage mechanisms and mechanotransduction occur at the microscale, understanding such multiscale interactions is of high importance. In this study, a physical model was used in combination with a computational model to isolate and study the mechanisms of force transfer between scales. The obje

Abstract:
Collagen is the major structural protein in the connective tissues such as skin, bone, ligaments, and tendons. The specific hierarchical organization of collagen molecules determines the unique properties of each specific tissue. For example, in tendon, the parallel alignment of collagen molecules, fibrils, fibril bundles, fascicles and tendon units gives tendon good mechanical properties. Thus, in vitro engineering of collagen molecules hold great promise as a tissue regeneration material. However, there is a need for mechanically superior collagenous structures, which currently cannot be pro
