This study was designed to evaluate trends in incidence and treatment patterns for intracapsular hip fractures and to evaluate risk factors for complications and mortality. Patients with an intracapsular hip fracture who underwent internal fixation, hemiarthroplasty, or total hip arthroplasty (THA) were identified from a 5% nationwide sample of Medicare data (1998-2007). The authors identified ...

Vermicompost has been promoted as a viable alternative container media component for the horticulture industry. The purpose of this research was to investigate the use of vermicompost at different points in the production cycle of tomato, marigold, pepper, and cornflower. The incorporation of vermicompost of pig manure origin into germination media up to 20% v/v enhanced shoot and root weight, ...

BACKGROUND Adult patients with cerebral palsy (CP), who have advanced degenerative arthritis of the hip, have been treated with resection arthroplasty and arthrodesis. Although total hip arthroplasty (THA) has also been used as one of the alternative options, there are few studies on contemporary bearings used in THA. Therefore, we evaluated the results of the contemporary ceramic-on-ceramic TH...

The purpose in this research was to study the effects of Vermicompost and poultry manure on yield and yield components of the medicinal plant coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) in the Shahr-e- Ghods region. A factorial experiment using the randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in the Islamic Azad University of Shahr-e- Ghods. The first factor was three levels of ...

Different types of bone-graft substitutes have been developed, and are on the market worldwide to eliminate the drawbacks of autogenous grafting. They vary in composition, strength, osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties, mechanism and rates at which they are resorbed and remodelled. Of these, THA is a novel material produced by one of us (FNO). This study was performed to determine the ...

Comprehensive gait analysis of patients with Crowe type II and III developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) after successful total hip arthroplasty (THA) is lacking in the literature. This study evaluated gait function in joint kinematics after unilateral and bilateral THA in patients with DDH. In addition, the effect of high cup position on gait function was investigated. A total of 16 unilate...

Este trabajo propone y evalúa una trayectoria hipotética de aprendizaje (THA) para los conceptos conjunto generador espacio generado. La THA se diseñó siguiendo el planteamiento Simon (1995), la heurística diseño modelos emergentes mecanismo reflexión sobre relación actividad-efecto. Se realizó un experimento con estudiantes universitarios evaluar si contribuyó al esperado conceptos. Para ello,...

Background The role of eHealth programs to support patients through surgical pathways, including total hip arthroplasty (THA), is rapidly growing and offers the potential improve patient engagement, self-care, outcomes. Objective aim this study compare effects an program (intervention) versus standard care for pre- postoperative education on outcomes primary THA. Methods A prospective parallel ...

Total hip metal arthroplasty (THA) constitutes an important proportion of the standard clinical implant usage in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering. A computational nonlinear optimization is performed with two commonly materials Metal-on-Metal (MoM) THA. Namely, Cast Co-Cr Alloy Titanium. The principal result numerical determination K adimensional-constant parameter model. Results from ...
