Background: The Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus (ECRL) and the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis (ECRB) are muscles of the posterior forearm compartment. variations in this area of the forearm are common and are usually diagnosed during surgery. Sometimes these variations are symptomatic and can be helpful in clinical procedures such as surgery. Diagnosis and identification of abnormalities can be ...

cord blood is a rich source of hematopoietic stem cells and could be potentially used for transplantation instead of conventional sources of stem cells (bone marrow or peripheral blood). cord blood cells are successfully used in pediatric and adult patients, but their major limitation is the low number of hematopoietic stem cells for patients of large body size. there are several possible solut...

Introduction: The upper crust of Mars is layered and geologically diverse. Burial and exhumation complicate the use of impact craters to determine the age of materials. Since September 1997, we have employed the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) to test hypotheses regarding the nature of the layered crust [1, 2]. Here we summarize key observations and update earlier findings,...

The main finding by Po-Chedley and Fu was that the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) microwave sounding unit (MSU) product has a bias in itsNOAA-9midtropospheric channel (TMT)warm target factor, which leads to a cold bias in the TMT trend. This reply demonstrates that the central arguments by Christy and Spencer to challenge Po-Chedley and Fu do not stand. This reply establishes that 1)...

BACKGROUND Chondroitin Sulphate (CS), a natural glycosaminoglycan of the extracellular matrix, has clinical benefit in symptomatic osteoarthritis but has never been tested in gout. In vitro, CS has anti-inflammatory and positive effects on osteoarthritic chondrocytes, synoviocytes and subchondral bone osteoblasts, but its effect on macrophages is unknown. The purpose of our study was to evaluat...

abstract : horizontal root fractures in permanent teeth are uncommon injuries among dental traumas. the principle of treating horizontal root fractures of permanent teeth is repositioning and fixation of fractured segment. diagnosis of tooth fractures based on radiographic findings and the fracture healing process are affected by factors before and after injury. the present case reports the tre...
