– See: EMG Menu: – Discussions: – fibrillations are action potentials that arise spontaneously from single muscle fibers; – these usually occur rhythmically and are though to be due oscillations of the resting membrane potential in denervated muscles; – are typically biphasic or triphasic waveforms that are distinguished from … Read more

– Discussion: – precursor of structural protein fibrin & is composed of duplicate sets of three chains (Aalpha, Bbeta, and gamma) linked by disulfide bonds; – peptide-bond cleavage of fibrinopeptide A and fibrinopeptide B yields soluble fibrin; – fibrin rapidly polymerizes into fibrin strands, ultimately forming fibrin clot that mechanically impedes blood loss
– Discussion: (see cartilage menu and articular cartilage) – see tendon metaplasia to fibrocartilage; – fibrocartilage is composed of bundles of thick clearly defined collagen fibers, along w/ intervening unicellular islands of cartilage arranged in small chains; – it has moderate proteoglycans but low content of glycosaminoglycans (2% of dry weight). … Read more
– Presentation: – shortened first toe is characteristic in fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva; – recognition of this consistent foot deformity can help in the early diagnosis; – torticollis is common; – Radiographs: – see ossification of soft tissue: – ossification, which occurs in the fascia and … Read more
– See: – Fibroma – Desmoplastic Fibroma – Soft Tissue Menu – Discussion: – refers to multiple fibrous benign tumors which are locally aggressive; – these are more aggresive than solitary fibroma; – these lesions often develope in the proximal limbs or the trunk; – in abdomen, the tumor is called a desmoid tumors; – … Read more
