OBJECTIVE To compare ultrasonography (US) with clinical examination in the detection of entheseal abnormality of the lower limb in patients with spondyloarthropathy (SpA). METHODS 35 patients with SpA (ankylosing spondylitis 27; psoriatic arthritis 7; reactive arthritis 1) underwent independent clinical and ultrasonographic examination of both lower limbs at five entheseal sites-superior pole...

cam (complementary and alternative medicine) therapies have become increasingly  popular in pediatric populations. phytotherapy are the most common cam used in children. yet, little is known about children’s preferences for cam. but it is expected to become more widely integrated into the modern medical system, including the medical curriculum.the aim of this study is to introduce the prevalenc...

Shield metal arc welding on the high strength low alloy steels in pipelines to transport natural gas from Iran is of great importance. In this article the effects of annealing heat treatment on properties of multi pass welding in different situations (6-4:30 , 4:30-3 , 3-1:30 , 1:30-12) with 36 in outside diameter is evaluated by chemical,  metallography, tensile, toughness and hardness. Tensil...

We report on a near-infrared adaptive optics survey of a sample of 66 low-mass members of the premain sequence stellar cluster IC 348. We find 12 binary systems in the separation range 0. 1–8, excluding 3 probable background projected companions. An estimate of the number of faint undetected companions is derived, before we evaluate the binary frequency in this cluster. In the range logP =5.0–7...
