Interest in hydroxy - carboxylic acid 2 (HCA2) receptor has been raised since it is the target of antidyslipidemic drug nicotinic acid. The present study aimed to evaluate the presence of mRNA of this receptor in different organs of laboratory rat. Twenty two different organs of rats including mesenteric fat, epididymis (head, body and tail), testis, ovary, xiphoid process, liver, adrenal gland...

We describe a case of traumatic anterior dislocation of the hip in a 14-year-old boy with associated intrapelvic displacement of the femoral head and ipsilateral fractures of the shaft of the femur and greater trochanter. There was a delay in presentation of eight days. At operation the femoral head was reduced into the acetabulum after enlarging the obturator foramen by performing an osteotomy...

THIS paper describes the use of the prosthetic head in the treatment of recent fractures of the neck of the femur, in patients in whom Smith Peterson pins had failed, and degenerative hip disease in the aged. It is of interest that the first metal prosthetic head used in Britain was designied and inserted bv Mr. N. S. Martin at Musgrave Park Hospital, Belfast, in 1948. Hey Groves, oni one occas...
