Methysergide Induced Degranulation of the Basophil Leukocyte in Man**From the Department of Dermatology, School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Experimental Zirconium Granulomas and Chondromas in CBA Mice
The intradermal as well as intraperitoneal injection of zirconium salts in CBA/J mice produced local foreign body type granulomas which regularly persisted for over eight months. None of the animals exhibited evidence of the late delayed immune type of epithelioid cell granulomatous hypersensitivity such as has been induced experimentally in man. Benign chondromas developed locally in the ear cartilage plate in half of the mice who had received zirconium injections in this area

Comparison of Multiple Hop Test Kinematics Between Force-Platforms and Video Footage – A Cross Sectional Study
Background: Multiple hop performances have been assessed using force-platforms and motion-capture cameras. However, the accessibility of these technologies might be a hindering factor for many performance coaches. Currently, tablet devices are being used as alternatives to measure jumping and hopping performances. Objective: This study aimed to compare multiple hop kinematics using the Kinovea application with force-platforms, the gold standard. Methods: Using an observational cross-sectional study design, male athletes (n=44; age 20.1 ± 1.4 years) completed triple hops (3-Hop) and quintuple hops (5-Hop) on force-platforms while being filmed using an iPad. Ground contact time, flight time and total time were analysed using Kinovea and compared with the force platform data. Results: Statistical analysis showed a high level of agreement across all variables of interest but significant differences (flight time; -2.14 to -5.96 %, ground contact time; 4.89 to 5.83 %, total time; -0.37 to -0.58%) were observed across all variables of interest. A systematic bias for flight and ground contact times were seen for 3-Hop and 5-Hop. Conclusion: The use of iPad and Kinovea application can be used as a valid alternative to measure multiple hop kinematics when performance coaches do not have access to expensive force-platforms or motion-capture cameras
