We report the long-term results of the management of neglected chronically infected total knee replacements with a two-stage re-implantation protocol. In 18 of 34 patients (53%) a resistant organism was isolated. All cases were treated by the same surgical team in a specialist centre and had a mean follow-up of 12.1 years (10 to 14). They were evaluated clinically and radiologically using the K...

Bu araştırmanın amacı, kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk (KSS) performansı yüksek ve düşük olan konaklama şirketlerinin finansal performanslarının karşılaştırılmasıdır. amaçla 2014-2018 yılları arasında Borsa İstanbul’da işlem gören faaliyet raporlarından doküman incelemesi sonucu elde edilen verilere içerik analizi uygulanarak KSS puanları belirlenmiş puanların ortanca değerine göre şirketler ayrıştı...

Background: Patellar crepitus after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is not uncommon. The choice between patellarresurfacing or retention in TKA has remained controversial. Therefore, this randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluatethe impact of patellar resurfacing on the incidence of patellar crepitus. In addition, we compared the clinical outcomesand satisfaction between the...

Kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk (KSS), iş hayatında ve yansımalarıyla toplumda gittikçe daha çok önem kazanan, pek kurumun itibar yönetimi politikaları içine dâhil ettiği bir unsurdur. İşletme etiği, kurumsal hesap verilebilirlik farkındalık gibi farklı yaklaşımlarla birlikte ele alınabilen faaliyetleri, çoğu kurum tarafından da desteklenmekte bu destek medyada ortaya konmaktadır. İtibar yönetimi, s...

While sleepiness assessment metrics were initially developed in medical research, subjective is now widely used both fundamental and applied studies. The Stanford Sleepiness Scale (SSS) the Karolinska (KSS) are often considered gold standard research. However, their convergence specific features have not been sufficiently investigated. present study aims to analyse dynamics of as measured by KS...

We present a boy of eight years of age with symptoms of Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS) characterised by ophthalmoparesis, palpebral ptosis, mitochondrial myopathy, pigmentous retinitis, associated to short stature, cerebellar signs, cardiac blockade, diabetes mellitus, elevated cerebrospinal fluid protein concentration, and focal hand and foot dystonia. The skeletal muscle biopsy demonstrated ragg...

Background Chronic progressive external ophtalmoplegia (CPEO) and Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS) belong to the broad heterogeneous group of mitochondrial myopathies (MM) a group of neuromuscular disorders resulting from primary dysfunction of the mitochondrial chain with impaired cellular energy metabolism. Recently, a potentially characteristic myocardial fibrosis pattern with intramural late gad...

We present a novel approach to the subspace clustering problem that leverages ensembles of the K-subspaces (KSS) algorithm via the evidence accumulation clustering framework. Our algorithm forms a co-association matrix whose (i, j)th entry is the number of times points i and j are clustered together by several runs of KSS with random initializations. We analyze the entries of this co-associatio...

This paper gives an overview of a model for the reconstruction of task-oriented dialogues based on an in teract ive , mult i level parsing formalism. It is applied to route description dialogues. It w i l l be shown, how the pragmatic aspects of such dialogues are taken into account on d i f ferent levels of processing. The approach described is based on an extension of the concept of cascaded ...
