Journal ArticleDOI

The anatomy and histology of the bicipital tunnel of the shoulder

TL;DR: The bicipital tunnel is a closed space where space-occupying lesions may produce a b anticipital tunnel syndrome and careful consideration should be given to surgical techniques that decompress both zones 1 and 2 of the bicipITAL tunnel.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patterns of molecular genetic variation among cat breeds

TL;DR: The hierarchical relationships of cat breeds is poorly defined as demonstrated by phylogenetic trees generated from both STR and SNP data, though phylogeographic grouping of breeds derived completely or in part from Southeast Asian ancestors was apparent.
Journal ArticleDOI

The use of the contact Nd:YAG laser in arthroscopic surgery: Effects on articular cartilage and meniscal tissue

TL;DR: This article represents the first comprehensive look at the effects of the Nd:YAG laser on articular cartilage and meniscal tissue in terms of depth of damage and healing response over time, and indicates this laser's biological advantage over scalpel and electrocautery in arthroscopic procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogenomics. Ancestral primate viewed.

TL;DR: Three studies compare the genomes of 15 primate species with those of species from four non-primate orders to try and work out which are the ancestral mammalian genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chromosomal evolution of the Canidae. II. Divergence from the primitive carnivore karyotype.

TL;DR: The history of chromosomal rearrangements within the Canidae family is presented based on the assumption that a metacentric-dominated karyotype is primitive for the group.
