background: the incidence of ectopic pregnancy varies between 1.5-2% of all pregnancies. bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy is rare. it may occur in 1 per 200 000 pregnancies. case: this is a case report of 25 year-old woman who underwent intra uterine insemination (iui), because of tubal factor infertility (unilateral). on the 30pthp day after the iui she complained from pelvic pain and vaginal...

Previous studies reported that children with cerebral palsy (CP) exhibited premature anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) with high variability and excessive activity in the frontal plane. To better understand the effects of gross motor functioning level on APAs over the life course, the authors examined the presence and consistency of APAs in 11 adults with diplegia at 2 functioning levels...

The underlying neurophysiology of postural control of the lower back in humans is poorly understood. We have characterized motor unit (MU) discharge activity in the deep lumbar multifidus (LM) muscle in nine healthy subjects (20-40 yr, 3 females). Bilateral fine wire electrodes were implanted at L4 spinal level using ultrasound guidance. EMG was recorded during spontaneous sitting and standing ...

BACKGROUND Medial clear space (MCS) width on mortise radiographs of the ankle is commonly used by clinicians for determining the competence of the deltoid ligament in the Weber B supination-external rotation ankle fracture. Significant variability exists in the current literature regarding methods of obtaining this measure and definition of a normal measure in comparison with a pathologic state...

Electromyographic recordings from the mystacial pad of rats were used to assess the effect of unilateral vibrissa contact on the bilateral movement of the vibrissae. A first group of animals was trained to whisk freely in air and served to establish the baseline variability in bilateral symmetry. We observed that the electromyogram (EMG) activity across the two mystacial pads was rhythmic and s...

Radionuclide angiography with technetium-99m hexamethylpropylene amine oxime (99mTc-HMPAO) or technetium-99m ethyl cysteinate dimer (99mTc-ECD) enables the non-invasive estimation of absolute cerebral blood flow (CBF) to be determined by using spectral analysis (SA). We previously demonstrated the clinical use of SA; however, this method involves a few manual steps. The aim of this study was to...

This study evaluated functional benefits from bilateral stimulation in 20 children ages 4-14, 10 use two CIs and 10 use one CI and one HA. Localization acuity was measured with the minimum audible angle (MAA). Speech intelligibility was measured in quiet, and in the presence of 2-talker competing speech using the CRISP forced-choice test. Results show that both groups perform similarly when spe...

purpose: to identify the postoperative surgical outcomes and the changes in deviation in patients treated by bilateral medial rectus (bmr) recession for small to large angle esotropia with a minimum follow-up of two years methods: in this retrospective and consecutive case series, we reviewed medical records of 130 patients who had recession surgery for correction of esotropia between 2001-2011...

volar lunate dislocation is the fourth and last stage of perilunate dislocation. it is an uncommon injury of the wrist and its bilateral occurrence is so rare that only one case has been reported in the literature. we are presenting the second case of this kind of wrist injury, its treatment and outcome. keywords : lunate bone, perilunate, volar plate, bilateral, dislocation.

present paper is an attempt to estimate the impact of economic and geographic indicators in trade among islamic countries according to a bilateral trade model as gravity model, and study the relationship between economy, geography and trade in this way. fixed effect version of the panel data estimation producer with oic member country data spanning over the 2007–2012. the result of this researc...
