Obtaining a bone biopsy in acute hematogenous osteomyelitis using a new surgical instrument: A technical note

Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis.

Impact of antibiotic pretreatment on bone biopsy yield for children with acute hematogenous osteomyelitis.

OBJECTIVE Pediatric acute hematogenous osteomyelitis (AHO) is a relatively common reason for hospitalization, but many variables require additional study, including the impact of antibiotic treatment on bone biopsy culture yield. METHODS This was a retrospective study of children 60 days to 18 years old with AHO seen from 2011 to 2012 in whom bone biopsy cultures were obtained. RESULTS A to...

A New Approach for Obtaining Settling Velocity in a Thickener Using Statistical Regression: A Case Study

In this research work, the parameters affecting the settling velocity within the thickeners were studied by introducing an equivalent shape factor. Several thickener feed samples of different densities including copper, lead and zinc, and coal were prepared. The settling tests were performed on the samples, and the corresponding settling curves were plotted. Using the linear regression analysis...

A New Approach in Developing Optimal Defrost/Demist Performance in a Passenger Car (TECHNICAL NOTE)

The objective of this paper is to optimize defrost/demist performance in a vehicle. However, to initiate the problem, it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of flow behavior within the compartment. So a full-scale model of passenger compartment has been modeled and the air stream from very near to the windshield up to back of the compartment has been analyzed applying computational fl...

[Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in infancy and childhood].

Chronic osteomyelitis is recognised as a very old disease, but acute osteomyelitis appears to have been understood only in the last 50 or so years. Until the latter part of the nineteenth century, acute osteomyelitis was only rarely recognised, except as a complication of open fractures or local sepsis. According to Wilensky (1927) the term osteomyelitis was probably coined by Nelaton in 1844. ...
