The Relationship Between Medial Plica and Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Medial plica syndrome is a sports injury that affects a relatively small population and is therefore not very well known or researched. Medial Plica is extra tissue in the knee which changes shape with flexion and extension. The pain comes from the friction between the tissue and the bone articulations. This review attempts to analyze the relationship between patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), an overuse injury, and medial plica of the knee. Both sport injuries were researched extensively. Historically, no direct relationship has been established between the two. Six original research articles were chosen and it was concluded that there is a strong relationship between PFPS and medial plica.

Adding Sugar to Snapdragon Plants

This experiment was designed to see the effects that different kinds of sugars had on the photosynthesis of snapdragon plants. The control plant received water. The experimental plants were given a sugar or sugar substitute mixed into water. The second plant received brown sugar, the third received regular sugar, and the fourth plant received sucralose. We predicted that the sugars would improve plant growth and that the sucralose would inhibit plant growth. Plant growth in order of most to least occurred with the brown sugar sucralose (unexpected), water, and finally the regular sugar.
