This study aimed to determine the phenotypic diversity of quantitative characteristics and results analysis kinship relationships local chickens in Kediri by using 60 adult male chickens. Data were obtained directly observing according variables: head length, chest-length, wing length from right left, shank back neck circumference, chest circumference. The showed that majority phenotypes Kediri...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare the eligibility of men and women with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) for on-label endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) as part of the clinician-Food & Drug Administration (FDA) collaborative effort, the Characterization of Human Aortic Anatomy Project (CHAP). METHODS Computed tomography (CT) scans with 3D reconstruction from a s...

PURPOSE Chronic viral infection and combinations of chemotherapeutic drugs have been reported to accelerate telomere erosion. Here, we asked if chemoradiotherapy, using the single agent cisplatin, would accelerate telomere loss in head and neck cancer patients, and whether loss was linked to smoking status, age, gender, or stage of disease at diagnosis. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Blood samples were ...

BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common last-resort treatment for hip disease, but postoperative patients often complain of discrepancies in leg length. This study introduces a device designed to increase the precision of the femoral neck osteotomy and reduce the incidence of leg length discrepancy. METHODS Forty-eight patients undergoing THA were divided into two groups, with and...

OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical outcome of anterolateral minimally invasive approach versus conventional posterior approach for total hip replacement against femoral neck fractures in elderly patients. METHODS The retrospective study was carried out on 42 patients who suffered from displaced femoral neck fractures (19 cases of Garden type III, 23 cases of Garden type IV) treated by total hi...

BACKGROUND Coxa vara and pseudoarthrosis of the femoral neck after septic hip arthritis is a very rare disease. The aim of this study was to present a case with pseudoarthrosis of the femoral neck, with coxa vara after neonatal septic arthritis of the right hip, and treatment of the pseudarthrosis with proximal femoral valgus osteotomy. CASE REPORT A 12-month-old female, who had suffered neonat...

A cross-sectional questionnaire study was carried out on nursery school (NS) teachers in public nursery schools in N city in Japan to determine the magnitude of associations of probable risk factors with neck, shoulder, and arm pain, adjusting for potential confounders in logistic regression models. Of 1438 subjects, responded to the questionnaire, 959 NS teachers in charge of a separate or mix...

PURPOSE To introduce a nation-based endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) registry in South Korea and to analyze the anatomical features and early clinical outcomes of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) in patients who underwent EVAR. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Korean EVAR registry (KER) was a template-based online registry developed and established in 2009. The KER recruited 389 patients who unde...

DNA gains targeting the 3q chromosome are common in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas, as well as in lung, ovarian, and cervical cancer. Several candidate oncogenes located on 3q were proposed, i.e., PIK3CA, p63, and eIF-5A2. However, none of these genes was found included in a narrow high-level amplification. Recently, microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) was dev...
