Fitness correlates of spur length and spur asymmetry in male wild turkeys

Extracorporeal shock-wave therapy effectively reduces calcaneal spur length and spur-related pain in overweight and obese patients.

OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate the effects of extra corporeal shock-wave therapy (ESWT) on the calcaneal spur length and pain severity in overweight and obese patients with symptomatic calcaneal spur. METHODS In eighty patients with symptomatic calcaneal spur, ESWT was administered on days 0 and 7, and visual analog scale (VAS) scores and calcaneal spur lengths (CSLs) before and 3 months late...

Anemia with Spur

of chenodeoxycholic acid, with small amounts of lithocholic acid present as well. Spur cells manifested a striking increase in cholesterol content and in the cholesterol: phospholipid ratio, but a normal osmotic fragility. When incubated in heated normal serum, spur cells lost their excess cholesterol and became spherocytic and osmotically fragile. Conversely, sera from patients with spur cells...

Awards spur excellence in research.

Background: Many patients experience difficulties in following treatment recommendations. This study's objective is to identify nonadherence risk profiles regarding medication (antidepressants, antihypertensives, and oral hypoglycemics) from a combination of patients' socio-demographic characteristics, morbidity presented within general practice and medication characteristics. An additional obj...

Authors Yu. I. Manin and V. V. Schechtman developed the theory of “higher Bruhat orders,” presenting a family of combinatorial objects closely related to the symmetric group. In particular, the two authors define a series of ranked posets which generalize the weak left Bruhat order; their construction has found applications in geometry and representation theory. In this paper, we define a simil...
