Abstract
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer, with giant basal cell carcinoma comprising only 0.5 percent of all basal cell carcinomas. When a basal cell carcinoma is larger than 5 cm, it is designated as a giant basal cell carcinoma. Neglect is often a contributing fa...

Abstract
For innervated functional muscle transplant procedures, it is essential to have knowledge about the length of nerve pedicles available for nerve anastomosis. For the latissimus dorsi muscle, the thoracodorsal nerve divides into two funicles that separately innervate the medial and lateral portions o...

Abstract
This study investigated the effects on metabolic cost and gait biomechanics of using a prototype lower-body exoskeleton (EXO) to carry loads. Nine US Army participants walked at 1.34 m/s on a 0% grade for 8 min carrying military loads of 20 kg, 40 kg and 55 kg with and without the EXO. Mean oxygen c...

Abstract
Twenty-five mature Small Tail Han ewes were used to investigate the effects of supplemental oilseeds in the diet (sunflower seed, safflower seed, rapeseed, and linseed) on fatty acid composition in different tissues (longissimus lumborum muscle, tail fat, subcutaneous back fat and kidney fat). Avera...

Abstract
Spinal creep was confirmed by an increase in maximum flexion of 2.3 degrees +/- 2.5 degrees (P = 0.003), and fatigue by a significant fall in median frequency at one or more sites. Following creep, onset latency increased from 60 +/- 12 milliseconds to 96 +/- 26 milliseconds (P < 0.001) but there wa...

Abstract
We tested if involvement of axial muscles is associated with diaphragm weakness in ALS. Forty-four ALS patients were included with ALSFRS greater than 20/40. We used needle EMG to search for signs of denervation in biceps, tibialis anterior, C6 and T5 paraspinal muscles, and intercostal and diaphrag...
