Source: Laboratory of Jeff Salacup - University of Massachusetts Amherst As mentioned in previous videos, the product of an organic solvent extraction, a total lipid extract (TLE), is often a complex mixture of hundreds, if not thousands, of different compounds. The researcher is often only interested in a handful of compounds. In the case of our two organic paleothermometers (Uk'37 and MBT/CBT), the interest is in only 6 compounds (2 alkenones and 4 isoprenoidal glycerol dialkyl glycerol...

Single Molecule Analysis of Laser Localized Psoralen Adducts

Lasers are frequently used in studies of the cellular response to DNA damage. However, they generate lesions whose spacing, frequency, and collisions with replication forks are rarely characterized. Here, we describe an approach that enables the determination of these parameters with laser localized interstrand crosslinks.

Evaluating the potency of environmental chemicals and drugs, to be enzymatically bioactivated to intermediates generating covalent DNA adducts, is an important field in the development of cancer and its treatment. Methods are described for compound activation to form DNA adducts, as well as techniques for their detection and quantification.

Hip Exam

Source: Robert E. Sallis, MD. Kaiser Permanente, Fontana, California, USA The hip is a ball-and-socket joint that consists of the femoral head articulating with the acetabulum. When combined with the hip ligaments, the hip makes for a very strong and stable joint. But, despite this stability, the hip has considerable motion and is prone to degeneration with wear and tear over time and after injury. Hip pain can affect patients of all ages and can be associated with various intra- and...

Shoulder Exam I

Source: Robert E. Sallis, MD. Kaiser Permanente, Fontana, California, USA Examination of the shoulder can be complex, because it actually consists of four separate joints: are the glenohumeral (GH) joint, the acromioclavicular (AC) joint, the sternoclavicular joint, and the scapulothoracic joint. The GH joint is primarily responsible for shoulder motion and is the most mobile joint in the body. It has been likened to a golf ball sitting on a tee and is prone to instability. It is held in place...
FAQs
These movements are interpreted through two linked spatial references: the frontal plane describes the plane in which movement primarily occurs, while the anteroposterior axis describes the axis around which the joint moves. Using both references allows a movement to be described anatomically rather than only by its visible direction, supporting consistent analysis of limb biomechanics.
Movement results when muscle contractions act at a joint, while the nervous system controls the activity that coordinates those contractions. This relationship connects the visible displacement of a limb with its biological cause. Studying both components helps explain why analysis of abduction and adduction includes joint mechanics as well as motor control.
Anatomical position provides a shared reference for judging whether a body part has moved relative to the body's midline. Without that reference, descriptions can become ambiguous when comparing individuals, joints, or observed movements. In biology and health sciences, the reference improves communication during anatomical analysis and supports more consistent interpretation of joint function and movement limitations.
During physical examination, these terms help organize observations of limb movement around a joint. A clinician or researcher can relate the observed direction to the midline and the relevant anatomical plane, then consider whether the joint is functioning as expected. This vocabulary makes examination findings easier to describe, compare, and connect with possible movement disorders.
In rehabilitation, distinguishing the two actions helps practitioners describe the movement goal at a joint and monitor changes over time. The terms provide a precise way to discuss functional motion rather than relying on vague directional language. They can therefore support assessment of movement limitations and communication about progress while remaining grounded in anatomical and biomechanical analysis.
Biomechanical analysis uses these movement labels to relate limb displacement to joint action, muscle contraction, and the axis of rotation. This is useful when studying how body segments move during locomotion, because the same anatomical vocabulary can organize observations across different movements. The result is a clearer link between visible motion and the mechanical and biological processes producing it.
Because the movements connect nervous system control with measurable joint motion, they offer a focused vocabulary for investigating motor control. Experimental work can use the terms to classify the direction of a movement and relate it to muscle action, joint mechanics, or locomotion. This helps researchers interpret how biological control systems generate coordinated body movement.
