Background: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) was thought to be the most common inflammatory in children (Shih et al. , 2019). However an aggressive, erosive of little-known immunologic mechanism occurs 20 times more frequently with Down’s syndrome (Foley Objectives: This study undertaken characterize immune cell responses and synovial fibroblast invasiveness syndrome-associated (DA). Methods...

Background: Intra-articular corticosteroid injections are the first-line antirheumatic drugs of oligoarticular onset juvenile arthritis. Despite significant advances in treatment (anti-TNF, block IL6) this choice pediatric chronic joint disease still remains relevant. Pediatric rheumatologists and to day there no consensus on best modality for treatment. Objectives: The aim study was search bio...

Surgical management of the anterior cruciate ligamentdeficient knee has evolved from primary repair to extracapsular augmentation to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using biologic tissue grafts. The technique of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction has improved over the last few decades with the aid of knowledge gained from basic science and clinical research. The biology and bio...

We describe a vision system that monitors activity in a site over extended periods of time. The system uses a distributed set of sensors to cover the site, and an adaptive tracker detects multiple moving objects in the sensors. Our hypothesis is that motion tracking is su cient to support a range of computations about site activities. We demonstrate using the tracked motion data: to calibrate t...

A 24-year-old male medical student had a 6-year history of bilateral knee pain, worse on his left side than on his right, which had increasingly limited his activities, preventing him from playing soccer. The pain was localized to the lateral aspect of his knees and was accompanied by a catching sensation. His symptoms were exacerbated with activity, particularly descending stairs and rising fr...

A 32-year-old woman was admitted for termination of her 6-week pregnancy at her request. However, pelvic examination followed by transvaginal ultra-sonography (TVU) revealed an adnexal mass complicating pregnancy and requiring surgical intervention that was carried out after termination of pregnancy. At laparotomy, left salpingooophorectomy was performed and histologic examination revealed a le...

Our story begins in a city far away from here and a long time ago. Several physicians held a “think-tank” and they began with a vision. They believed that there exists a body of knowledge that is unique to sports medicine. This dream evolved from the drawing board into a reality. These men understood anatomy, physiology, and—above all—patient care. These visionaries created the American Orthopa...

Although athletic injuries about the hip and groin occur less commonly than injuries in the extremities, they can result in extensive rehabilitation time. Thus, an accurate diagnosis and well-organized treatment plan are critical. Because loads of up to eight times body weight have been demonstrated in the hip joint during jogging, presumably even greater loads can occur during vigorous athleti...

an unactivated hydrogen atom at room temperature, and HO reacts with most of the species it collides with at a rate constant very near the diffusion limit. Superoxide can lead to the production of hydrogen peroxide, which is found in human fluids and exhaled breath (128, 133, 222, 232) but can be toxic. Hydrogen peroxide and superoxide may be separately regulated and, although each can cause pa...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze two different approaches (Models A and B) for an adiabatic boundary condition at the wall of a channel filled with a porous medium. The analytical solutions for the velocity distribution, the fluid and solid phase temperature distributions are derived and compared with numerical solutions. The phenomenon of heat flux bifurcation for Model A is d...
