progressive loss of bone mineral density around the femora! component of total hip replacement continues to pose a threat to long term prosthetic survival. a linear study was undertaken to measure bone mineral density on a monthly basis following total hip arthroplasty in 11 male patients. the opposite femur was used as the control measurement. bone mineral density was unchanged at two months f...

We have compared the changes in the pattern of the principal strains in the proximal femur after insertion of eight uncemented anatomical stems and eight customised stems in human cadaver femora. During testing we aimed to reproduce the physiological loads on the proximal femur and to simulate single-leg stance and stair-climbing. The strains in the intact femora were measured and there were no...

In this study, we deal with texts in languages (Hebrew/Aramaic) which have been little studied. Moreover, Semitic language processing in general is of great interest today. In particular, we investigate how to classify Jewish Law articles written in Hebrew-Aramaic according to the ethnic group of their authors. The classification is done using only stems of words, excluding very frequent stems ...

INTRODUCTION Historically, cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) femoral stems inserted in varus have yielded poor clinical results. Few studies to date have addressed the question of the effects of varus alignment on cementless stems. We conducted a retrospective review of 125 uncemented THA femoral stems implanted by a single surgeon from 1994 to 1999. METHODS We conducted a retrospective r...

Commersonia bartramia (Sterculiaceae family) is a wooden tree, widely occurring in Australia, China and South East Asia. The MeOH extract of C. has been reported to show anticancer antioxidant activities. Phytochemical investigation stems led the isolation eight compounds. Their chemical structures were identified as helichrysoside-3′- methyl ether (1), tiliroside (2), pinoresinol (3), ursolic ...
