Abstract X-Ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology (XROMM), though traditionally used for studies of in vivo skeletal kinematics, can also be used to precisely and accurately measure ex vivo range of motion from cadaveric manipulations. The workflow for these studies is holistically similar to the in vivo XROMM workflow, but presents several unique challenges. This paper aims to serve as a practical guide by walking through each step of the ex vivo XROMM process: how to acquire and prepare cadaveric specimens, how to manipulate specimens to collect X-ray data, and how to use these data to compute joint rotational mobility. Along the way, it offers recommendations for best practices and for avoiding common pitfalls to ensure a successful study.

Background: The Cutometer MPA 580® (Courage and Khazaka, Germany) is a well-established instrument for the accurate and reproducible measurement of the biomechanical properties of the skin. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of 4 formulations containing 2.5% and 5.0% of α-lipoic acid and ascorbic palmitate or butylhydroxytoluene on skin elasticity and firmness and to assess the equivalence between alternative parameters (Q0, Q1 and Q3) and the traditional parameters R0, R2, R5, R6, all determined with the same cutometer. Methods: Measure of in vivo firmness and elasticity of the skin was performed using R and Q parameters measured in the same device. Results: Different statistical analysis were applied to the results obtained from the parameters (Q0, Q1 and Q3) and the traditional parameters R0, R2, of the in vivo measurements after the application of the four formulations during 28 days. A correlation between both types of measurements was demonstrate. Conclusion: A four-week treatment with a cream containing 5% α-lipoic acid improves the biomechanical characteristics of the skin, thus contributing to the protection against photo-aging. Both methods of measurement proved to be equivalent.

Background: Joint health is very vital in canines. Immediate attention and diagnosis will help to prevent suffering in canines. This study was designed to evaluate the in vivo efficacy of the poly-herbal formulation Mobility Plus® for arthritis, inflammation and analgesic activities in canines. Methods: A total of 18 client-owned dogs with a history of joint inflammation, hip dysplasia and arthritis were selected (n = 18) and supplemented with one tablet of Mobility Plus® daily until complete recovery. The changes in assessment parameters scores, viz. lameness score, joint mobility score, pain on palpation score, weight-bearing score and the overall clinical condition score were evaluated. The results revealed that lameness, joint mobility, pain and weight-bearing scores significantly (p less than 0.001) decreased in dogs as early as day 15; hence, the overall clinical condition score also decreased significantly (p less than 0.001) as early as day 15 after Mobility Plus® supplementation. Result: Present study revealed that lameness, joint mobility, pain and weight-bearing scores significantly (p and lt; 0.001) decreased in dogs as early as day 15; hence, the overall clinical condition score also decreased significantly (p and lt; 0.001) as early as day 15 after Mobility Plus® supplementation. Supplementation of Mobility Plus® has antiarthritic and anti-inflammatory activities. Mobility Plus® could be recommended for the amelioration of joint inflammation and osteoarthritis conditions in canines.
