BACKGROUND Glenoid bone damages consisting of anterior rim erosion and bony avulsion are very important in decision making for treatment of recurrent dislocation in shoulder joint. This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of these damages in patients with anterior recurrent shoulder dislocation. METHODS The study was a cross-sectional study evaluating patients with unstable shoulder j...

Purpose We aimed to assess functional outcomes and postoperative recurrence rate associated with the remplissage procedure used for bone augmentation with Bankart repair in patients with Hill-Sachs lesions after shoulder dislocation. Methods Preoperative computed tomography was performed to check for bony Bankart lesions,calculate the bone defect rate, and estimate the risk for re-dislocation...

-The Mesozoic to Eocene sedimentary succession of Hazara Basin dominated by carbonates is characterized by a distinct package of sediments punctuated by a number of diastems, hiatus and unconformities. The Hazara Basin evolved in Hettangian with the development of lagoonal to upper shoreface conditions on the northern margin of northward flying India. It was followed by a thick pile of middle J...

A self-consistent method for day-time F2region modelling was applied to the analysis of Millstone Hill incoherent scatter observations during the storm period of March 16-22, 1990. The method allows us to calculate in a self-consistent way neutral composition, temperature and meridional wind as well as the ionized species height distribution. Theoretically calculated Ne(h) pro®les ®t the observ...

In the present paper, a numerical prediction of the wind flow in a neutrally-stratified atmosphere over real hilly terrain is presented. For the solutions of the NavierStokes equations which are the governing equations of a microscale atmospheric flow, a numerical model based on the finite-volume formulation in a boundary-fitted coordinate system and the SIMPLEC pressure-correction algorithm is...

[1] Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases are expected on theoretical grounds to lead to a cooling of the upper atmosphere. Due to the close thermal coupling of the neutral and ionized components of the upper atmosphere the effects of this cooling are also expected to be seen in the ionospheric ion temperature. Long-term satellite observations of neutral density show a trend consistent ...

The first long-duration incoherent scatter (IS) radar observations over Millstone Hill (42.6 N, 288.5 E) and EISCAT Svalbard radar (ESR, 78.15 N, 16.05 E) from October 4 to November 4, 2002 are compared with the newly updated version of the IRI model (IRI2001). The present study showed that: (1) For the peak parameters hmF2 and foF2, the IRI results are in good agreement with the observations o...

[1] We explore a method for inferring solar EUV flux, atmospheric composition and wind using ionospheric electron density Ne profile measurements. Incoherent scatter radar data from Millstone Hill and Shigaraki measured on October 5, 1989 are assimilated into a theoretical model whose driving forces, solar EUV flux, exosphere temperature Tex, and meridional wind, are adjustable. Adjustments are...

There is no simple method available to identify patients who will develop recurrent instability after an arthroscopic Bankart procedure and who would be better served by an open operation. We carried out a prospective case-control study of 131 consecutive unselected patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability who underwent this procedure using suture anchors. At follow-up after a mean...
