TL;DR: The analyses of recently cloned restriction fragments of the natural ovalbumin gene that overlap in part with previously cloned DNA fragments but extend further into the flanking sequences of the gene allow us to identify the DNA sequence that codes for the 5' end of Ovalbumin mRNA.

Skull osteology as it affects halo pin placement in children.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the bone thickness of 18 pediatric skulls by means of computerized tomography scans to determine optimal sites for placement of halo pins, which confirmed clinical recommendations that halo fixation pins should be placed antero- and posterolateral where the bones are thickest.

Biomechanical properties of peripheral nerves.
TL;DR: The biomechanical properties of peripheral nerves still are not completely understood or quantified, but similar studies in injured nerves will provide invaluable information for understanding the mechanics of nerve function and the prevention of stretch- and compression-related trauma.

The healing medial collateral ligament following a combined anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligament injury—a biomechanical study in a goat model
TL;DR: The changes in the function of goat knees between time‐zero and 6 weeks following a combined ACL/MCL injury treated with ACL reconstruction are quantified and the structural properties of the healing femur–MCL–tibia complex (FMTC) and the mechanical properties ofThe healing MCL at 6 weeks under uniaxial tension are evaluated.
