The interrater reliability of ultrasonography for Achilles tendon structure Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Aim of the study: Reliable assessment of Achilles tendon structure (architecture and morphology) may help prevent clinical symptoms or progression of Achilles tendinopathy. The objective of this study was to determine the interrater reliability of musculoskeletal ultrasonography for the assessment of the mid-portion of the Achilles tendon: (1) structure, (2) anteroposterior diameter and (3) neovascularization, in asymptomatic military ...
Qualitative analysis of substance P, NK1-receptor and nerve ingrowth in substance P-treated ruptured rat Achilles tendon Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Substance P has a stimulating effect on fibroblast proliferation, collagen organization, and angiogenesis in ruptured and subsequently sutured rat Achilles tendon. This effect is also reflected in the biomechanical properties of the tendon. The aim of this study was to substantiate the effect of exogenous substance P on endogenous substance P, NK-1 receptor, and nerve ingrowth in an in vivo tendon-healing setting. Ninety-six male ...
