The aim of this study was to evaluate the alterations in eccentric evertor/concentric invertor strength ratio and their importance in the chronically unstable ankle. Eight patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) and nine healthy individuals participated in this study. Isokinetic concentric and eccentric invertor and evertor muscle strength measurement was carried out at an angular velocit...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate clinical effects of deep cervical flexor (DCF) muscles exercise on pain, Neck Disability Index (NDI), and neck and shoulder postures in patients with chronic neck pain. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-eight patients with chronic neck pain were randomly assigned into either the general strengthening exercise (GSE) group or the DCF activation g...

A series of 474 mixed cases of glaucoma was assessed to determine whether there were any genetic differences between different types of glaucoma. A careful distinction was made between chronic open angle glaucoma (COAG), acute and chronic angle closure glaucoma, ocular hypertension, low tension glaucoma, patients with large cup disc ratios, and various types of secondary glaucoma including pseu...

PURPOSE The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the long-term outcome of different methods of treatment in slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), to find risk factors for poor outcome, and to assess whether prophylactic fixation is indicated. METHODS Sixty-six patients (76 hips) treated for SCFE with a mean follow-up of 38 years (range 21-57 years) were evaluated. All excep...

statement of problem: the gonial angle plays an important role in ensuring a harmonious facial profile. changes in this angle especially after surgery may be an aesthetic concern for both the patient and the surgeon. purpose: the aim of the present study was to evaluate gonial angle changes after mandiblular setback with the bssro technique and to measure postsurgical relapse two years after su...

A 66-year-old, Vietnamese female presents with gradual, painless vision loss. Intraocular pressures are 52 OD, 32 OS. Workup confirms chronic narrow-angle glaucoma and plateau iris. Treatment is successful with emergent cataract extraction, iStent placement OU.

the normal carrying angle in shiraz population was measured on the basis of sex and age. the right elbow angle of 4266 cases was examined from birth to 30 years old. this study found the carrying angle in 2540 females to be 7.20 (range 2-19) and in 1726 males to be 6.40 (range 2-11), a 0.80 difference. a significant difference (p= 0.05) was found in relation to age. there is a gradual increase ...

objective(s):glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness and it is related to oxidative stress based on numerous studies. glutathione s-transferases (gsts) are members of multigenic family, which have important role in cells as an antioxidant. in the present study, we examined the polymorphism of gstt1 and gstm1 deletion genotypes (t0m1, t1m0, and t0m0) in 100 glaucoma patients (41with pr...

OBJECTIVE To prospectively analyze the clinical and ultrasonographic biomicroscopy (UBM) features in eyes with closed globe injury, at the initial examination, that would predict the occurrence of chronic traumatic glaucoma during a 6-month follow-up. METHODS Forty consecutive eyes with closed globe injury and a chronically elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) of at least 21 mm Hg for a minimu...
