Standard anatomical and visual space for the mouse retina: computational reconstruction and transformation of flattened retinae with the Retistruct package. by David C Sterratt, Daniel Lyngholm, David J Willshaw, Ian D Thompson

“…This is achieved by: stitching the marked-up cuts of the flat-mount outline; dividing the stitched outline into a mesh whose vertices then are mapped onto a curtailed sphere; and finally moving the vertices so as to minimise a physically-inspired deformation energy function. Our validation studies indicate that the algorithm can estimate the position of a point on the intact adult retina to within 8° of arc (3.6% of nasotemporal axis). …”

Transverse process-pedicle approach versus conventional transpedicular approach in percutaneous kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture by Changjia Huang, Fulai Pei, Buyun Li, Xiaolei Tang, Baodi Zha

“…At 1 day postoperatively, the VAS score and ODI in the TPPA group were significantly lower than those in the CTPA group (P < 0.05), indicating better immediate pain relief and function. No significant differences in VAS or ODI were observed between the groups at preoperative, 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month time points (P > 0.05). …”

New unloading criterion for enhancing multi-stage triaxial tests based on radial strain gradient by Guodong Jin, Shujath Ali Syed, Héctor José González-Pérez, Hyung Tae Kwak, Ali Abdullah Yousef, Ali Abdullah Al Dhamen

“…Failure envelopes from the RSG criterion match well with those from single-stage tests. A practical procedure is recommended to use the RSG criterion: an unconfined compression or single-stage test is first conducted to determine the RSG at peak stress for one sample, the unloading point is then selected to be a value close to the RSG at peak stress, and the multi-stage test is finally performed on another sample using the pre-selected RSG unloading criterion. …”
