Breast cancer is a major public health problem for women throughout the world. Every year more than 1.2 million women are diagnosed with breast cancer. The incidence of breast cancer in Pakistan is high compared to other Asian countries and is approximately 2.5 times that in India and Iran (Asif et al., 2014). It has been found to constitute 33% of all cancers in females registered at Nuclear M...

Gottlieb polynomials were introduced and investigated in 1938, and then have been cited in several articles. Very recently Khan and Akhlaq introduced and investigated Gottlieb polynomials in two and three variables to give their generating functions. Subsequently, Khan and Asif investigated the generating functions for the q-analogue of Gottlieb polynomials. In this sequel, by modifying Khan an...

OBJECTIVE To conduct a prospective study on unstable and incongruent fractures of the acetabulum, in comparison with the literature, covering the type of access, fixation materials, degree of reduction, type of fracture and results after surgery. METHODS The authors evaluated 76 patients with unstable and incongruent fracture of the acetabulum between January 1999 and December 2009. The Marvi...

Distraction and segment transport are wellaccepted treatment modalities for fracture management.1-27 Intermittent distraction creates an axial mechanical strain in the soft-tissue envelope and mesenchymal tissue, replacing the fracture hematoma. This study reports the origin and different rates of new bone formation induced in bone defects by distraction and segment transport. MATERIALS AND MET...

The graphical dataset in this paper is related to the research article entitled "A novel survey of the ethno medicinal knowledge of dental problems in Manoor Valley (Northern Himalaya), Pakistan" (I.U. Rahman, F. Ijaz, Z. Iqbal, A. Afzal, N. Ali, M. Afzal, M.A. Khan, S. Muhammad, G. Qadir, M. Asif, 2016) [1]. This article describes how the local community of Manoor Valley practices cultural / t...

Currently, intramedullary devices are widely used for the treatment of trochanteric femoral fractures. A new device designed by AO/ASIF, the PFNA (proximal femoral nail antirotation), represents a unique intramedullary nail system for improved management, particularly in the elderly. The aim of the present study was to analyze the results of treatment with PFNA in 50 patients with trochanteric ...

Because of the rapid improvements occurring in the dynamic environment of web applications, ontologies have to be modified to reflect the changes made to the applications. Management of the changes within ontologies is one of the most crucial tasks that needs to be resolved. Various approaches and frameworks have been devised by the researchers to handle it. Despite all the efforts made in this...
