Cohesion

59.3K
Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same type, such as water molecules. Water molecules have an overall neutral charge but are polar molecule. An oxygen atom in one water molecule has a partial negative charge that can bind to a hydrogen atom with a partial positive charge in a second water molecule, forming a hydrogen bond. Each water molecule can form up to four hydrogen bonds with other water molecules. Hydrogen bonds are responsible for water's cohesive nature.

Seed Structure and Early Development of the Sporophyte

31.2K
Seed structures are composed of a protective seed coat surrounding a plant embryo, and a food store for the developing embryo. The embryo contains the precursor tissues for leaves, stem, and roots. The endosperm and cotyledons—seed leaves—act as the food reserves for the growing embryo.

Osmosis and Osmotic Pressure of Solutions

46.7K
A number of natural and synthetic materials exhibit selective permeation, meaning that only molecules or ions of a certain size, shape, polarity, charge, and so forth, are capable of passing through (permeating) the material. Biological cell membranes provide elegant examples of selective permeation in nature, while dialysis tubing used to remove metabolic wastes from blood is a more simplistic technological example. Regardless of how they may be fabricated, these materials are generally...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Isolated latissimus dorsi tears are uncommon. Complete ruptures need surgical repair using suture anchors, with most athletes returning to full activity post-surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Musculoskeletal Injuries

Background:

  • Isolated injuries to the latissimus dorsi muscle are infrequently encountered in clinical practice.
  • Nonsurgical management is effective for partial tendon tears.
  • Complete tendon ruptures necessitate surgical intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the surgical management of complete latissimus dorsi tendon ruptures.
  • To describe surgical approaches and techniques for latissimus dorsi repair.
  • To evaluate the functional outcomes following surgical latissimus dorsi reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature focusing on case series of latissimus dorsi tendon repair.
  • Description of surgical techniques including anterior deltopectoral and posterior axillary incisions.
  • Utilization of suture anchors for reattachment to the humerus.

Main Results:

  • Surgical repair is indicated for complete latissimus dorsi tendon ruptures.
  • Two primary surgical approaches exist: combined anterior and posterior incisions, or a long posterior incision.
  • Most patients achieve a return to full athletic activity after surgical repair.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical repair of complete latissimus dorsi tendon ruptures can restore function.
  • The choice of surgical approach may depend on surgeon preference and specific injury characteristics.
  • Outcomes suggest a favorable prognosis for athletes undergoing latissimus dorsi repair.
