Clavicle fractures, especially of the mid third, are an injury commonly seen in clinical practice, therefore, there is constant earnest discussion of the optimal approach to therapy. Until recently clavicle fractures were solely the domain of non surgical management. Even displaced fractures have been successfully managed without surgery. However, complications have been reported after non surg...

Initial studies of dementia due to lobar atrophy (Pick's disease and Dementia of the Frontal Lobe Type, DFT) indicate neurochemical profiles distinct from that of Alzheimer's disease (AD) [1,2]. We have examined the cortical serotonergic profile of previously frozen human brains from control patients (n=27, 178: 1 O? , age 68 f 10 yrs, postmortem delay (PMD) 30 f 20 hrs, mean f s.d.) and patien...

This paper analyzes the costs of job loss in China, using unique new data from the Rural-to-Urban Migration in China (RUMIC) data set for the year 2009. We investigate conventional labor market outcomes upon displacement like the length of unemployment spells, hours worked and monthly earnings. We also analyze whether displaced workers are more likely to be in informal employment relationships ...

We analyze the implied volatility skews generated by displaced lognormal diffusions. In particular, we prove the global monotonicity of implied volatility, and an at-the-money bound on the steepness of downward volatility skews, under displaced lognormal dynamics, which therefore cannot reproduce some features observed in equity markets. A variant, the displaced anti-lognormal, overcomes the st...

Fractures of the radial neck account for 5% 10% of traumatic lesions of the elbow in the child. Conservative method of reduction may fail to reduce severely displaced fractures. Open reduction of severely displaced radial neck fractures is associated with a high incidence of complications. The present study describes the results achieved after closed and indirect reduction of the severely displ...

We present a method for the reducing a displaced radial head in children, by rotating the forearm while pressing over the displaced fragment. This has been successful in a series of 10 cases.

OBJECTIVE To describe the age-related changes of the soft tissue facial profile from the second to fourth decades of life. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cephalograms from the same subjects in their 20s, 30s, and 40s were analyzed. A coordinate system analysis based on stable landmarks is used. A line connecting Walker's point (W) and sphenoethmoidal (SE) created the x-axis. Walker's point was origin....
