Tendon length estimates are influenced by tracking location
2022
Abstract Purpose Measurement of medial gastrocnemius (MG) tendon length using ultrasonography (US) requires the muscle–tendon junction (MTJ) to be located. Previously, the MG MTJ has been tracked from different proximo-distal locations near the MTJ, which could influence estimates of tendon length change due to the different characteristics of the aponeurosis and tendon. We used US to evaluate the effect of tracking point location on MG MTJ displacement during maximal and submaximal (10, 20 and 30% of the non-injured maximal) isometric plantar flexion contractions. Methods Displacement behaviour of MTJ was tracked from (1) the exact MTJ; and (2) from an insertion point of a muscle fascicle …
Management of Patients with Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer: From Theory to Integrated Clinical Path- ways Implementation in the Real Wor…
2022
Introduction: Best care of esophagogastric junction and gastric cancer (EGC) requires a complex, timely interaction between members of a multi-disciplinary team (MDT). An integrated clinical pathway (ICP) is necessary to achieve this goal as well as the implementation of its use in daily practice. The objective of this study was to elaborate on an integrated clinical pathway for the multi-disciplinary management of ECG. Authors also put in act an implementation program to improve adherence to guidelines thought an ICP. Method: This prospective work carried out by a multi-institutional MDT in Italy identified expert panel extracted relevant recommendations and/or statements from published pa…
