The primary structure of histone H2B from the mollusc Patella granatina
… H2B were isolated from the gonads of a mollusc (Patella granatina) and from chicken (Gallus domesticus), crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) and amphibian (Xenopus laevis) erythrocytes. The H2B's were purified by ion-exchange and gel exclusion chromatography. The complete primary structure of the …

A genetic and morphological analysis of species complexes within the genus Patella
Limpets of the genus Patella are very common intertidal molluscs that have a widespread world-wide distribution. Despite this, the systematics of the genus is still in a state of confusion. However, in comparison to other regions, the southern African representatives of Patella are fairly well …

INVESTIGATION OF THE ADAPTIVE MECHANISMS TO OCEAN ACIDIFICATION IN PATELLA SPECIES FROM CO2 VENT SYSTEMS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA
… Tra questi organismi, il gasteropode Patella spp. è uno dei pochi calcificanti capaci di sopravvivere in siti naturalmente acidificati, come i vent del Castello Aragonese a Ischia e quelli di San Giorgio in Sicilia. Tuttavia, i complessi meccanismi che consentono la sopravvivenza e il …

Musculoskeletal Conformation of the Normal and Diseased Canine Stifle With Emphasis on Patella Luxation and Cranial Cruciate Ligament Deficiency
… than tibial torsion and malalignment of the patellar ligament. The results support the concept that a muscle imbalance, specifically predominance of the gastrocnemius muscle, may oppose the cranial tibial thrust and predispose Labrador Retrievers to CCL disease.

Assessment of knee extensor mechanism function and the manipulation of that function
… clinician is how to reliably and validly assess patella position.Papers presented within this thesis have established a reliable and valid method ofachieving this. Repositioning of the patella through external means such as taping orinternal means through facilitation of muscle contraction of the …

Effects of Kinesio Tex Tape on Knee Injuries in Collegiate Athletes
… Tape on pain and effusion in patients with patella related knee conditions at Bridgewater State University. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to measure pain and a measuring tape was used to measure the circumference of the knee. It was hypothesized that KinesioTex tape would decrease …

Comparison of electrical activity of lateral and medial stabilizers of the patella and further diagnostically relevant risk factors in athletes with and without patellofemoral pain and in a Tai Chi group
… The major complain of patients with PFPS is retropatellar pain during activities such as running, squatting, going up and down stairs, prolonged sitting, cycling, and jumping. Some of risk factors in athletes with PFPS were considered and compared with athletes without PFPS in the present study. …

Early Osteoarthritis: A multi-scale structural and mechanical investigation
In this work, the bovine patella has been used to study the changes in the cartilage, calcified cartilage, and subchondral bone during the early stages of the development of the disease osteoarthritis (OA). The bovine patella was first validated as a model for intact human cartilage. The bovine …

The Response of a protandrous species to exploitation, and the implications for management: a case study with patellid limpets
A zygote production model for the patellid limpet Patella vulgata has been developed to examine the effect of exploitation on the reproductive output of a protandrous (male to female sequential) hermaphrodite. Patellid limpets are broadcast spawners which can have specific implications for the …
