Sesamoid bones over the metatarsophalangeal joint of the great toe of the left foot of an adult woman. 1  In the neck-Although the hyoid bone is free floating, it is not technically a sesamoid bone. 2  All sesamoid bones form directly from the connective tissue found in tendons and ligaments. In the hand â two sesamoid bones are commonly found in the distal portions of the first metacarpal bone (within the tendons of adductor pollicis and flexor pollicis brevis).
Short for spatial division multiple access, SDMA is a satellite communications mode for using data from antenna arrays in wireless communications systems. At the base station, SDMA continually adapts to the radio environment, providing each user with uplink and downlink signals of the highest possible quality. At the network level, this improved base station performance can be exploited to increase base station range. [Adapted from 'Intelligent Antennas: Spatial Division Multiple Access']
SDMA has been shown to be a more sensitive and specific biomarker of renal function compared to creatinine. Since the test was made available to practices across Australia, more than 50,000 tests have been run and veterinarians are now seeing more than 2X the amount of early kidney disease detected by creatinine alone*. 1  An SDMA result above 14ug/dL indicates reduced renal function.
