PURPOSE Early detection and intervention for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is important for normal hip development. Previous studies have shown disparities in access to paediatric specialty care among different racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. This study aims to identify whether these factors are related to timely referral for infants with DDH. METHODS A retrospective cohort s...

PURPOSE Treatment is easier and complications are less likely to occur if developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is diagnosed early. In this study, we examined the early results of open reduction using a medial approach which we had modified for DDH and analyzed the success of this technique and the associated complication rates, with a focus on avascular necrosis (AVN). METHODS This is an ...

Key stereoelectronic properties of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans [FeFe]-hydrogenase (DdH) were investigated by quantum mechanical description of its complete inorganic core, which includes a Fe(6)S(6) active site (the H-cluster), as well as two ancillary Fe(4)S(4) assemblies (the F and F' clusters). The partially oxidized, active-ready form of DdH is able to efficiently bind dihydrogen, thus star...

BACKGROUND Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) can be detected with ultrasonography (USG) images. However, the accuracy of this method is dependent on the skill of the radiologist. Radiologists measure the hip joint angles without computer-based diagnostic systems. This causes mistakes in the diagnosis of DDH. OBJECTIVES In this study, we aimed to automate segmentation of DDH ultrasound ...

PURPOSE The epidemiology and risk factors for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) are still being refined. We investigated the local epidemiology of DDH in order to define incidence, identify risk factors, and refine our policy on selective ultrasound screening. METHODS With a cohort study design, data were prospectively recorded on all live births in our region from January 1998 to Dece...

Abstract Aim Early detection of developmental dysplasia the hip (DDH) is associated with improved outcomes conservative treatment. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate use a ‘clicky’ as an indication for secondary assessment per British Society Children's Orthopaedic Surgery (BSCOS) consensus statement. Method Prospective cohort study all patients born within catchment area single tertiary centre (n...

BACKGROUND Neurons in superficial (SDH) and deep (DDH) laminae of the spinal cord dorsal horn receive sensory information from skin, muscle, joints and viscera. In both regions, glycine- (GlyR) and GABAA-receptors (GABAARs) contribute to fast synaptic inhibition. For rat, several types of GABAAR coexist in the two regions and each receptor type provides different contributions to inhibitory ton...

Galindo–Garcia identity-based signature (GG IBS) is an efficient (IBS) whose security proven under the discrete logarithm (DL) assumption. Since original reduction of GG IBS loose, there are some works to improve factor. However, such improvements do not achieve tight sufficiently, or efficiency resulting scheme much worse than scheme. In this paper, we propose a new improvement IBS. The propos...

PURPOSE Identification of anatomical structures that block -reduction in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is -important for the management of this challenging condition. Obstacles to reduction seen on arthrogram are well-known. However, despite the increasing use of MRI in the assessment of adequacy of reduction in DDH, the interpretation of MRI patho-anatomy is ill-defined with a lack ...

The concept of Identity-Based Encryption was first introduced by Shamir (CRYPTO 1984) but were not realised until much later Sakai, Ohgishi and Kasahara (SCIS 2000), Boneh Franklin 2001) Cocks (IMACC 2001). Since then, has been a highly active area research. While there have several instantiations its variants, is one glaring omission: no in plain Decisional Diffie-Hellman groups. This seemed a...
