CAN ULTRASOUND MEASURES OF INTRINSIC FOOT MUSCLES AND PLANTAR SOFT TISSUES PREDICT FUTURE DIABETES-RELATED FOOT DISEASE? A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW.

Can ultrasound measures of intrinsic foot muscles and plantar soft tissues predict future diabetes-related foot disease? A systematic review.

INTRODUCTION:Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with hyperglycaemia and advanced glycosylation end-products.In the foot, the consequences of chronic or uncontrolled diabetes are micro and macrovascular disease, neuropathy, reduced joint mobility and structural and soft tissue changes that increase the risk of ulcer development and amputation.Diab

On a Periodic Solution of the 4-Body Problems

We study the necessary and sufficient conditions on the masses for the periodic solution of planar 4-body problems, where three particles locate at the vertices of an Exfoliating Gloves equilateral triangle and rotate with constant angular velocity about a resting particle.We prove that the above periodic motion is a solution of Laces Newtonian 4-b

Rates of dinosaur body mass evolution indicate 170 million years of sustained ecological innovation on the avian stem lineage.

Large-scale adaptive radiations might explain the runaway success of a minority of extant vertebrate clades.This hypothesis predicts, among other things, rapid rates of morphological evolution during the early history of major groups, as lineages invade disparate ecological niches.However, few studies of adaptive radiation have included deep time d
