BACKGROUND The field of orthopaedics is a constantly evolving discipline. Despite the historical success of plates, pins and screws in fracture reduction and stabilisation, there is a continuing search for more efficient and improved methods of fracture fixation. The aim of this study was to evaluate shape-memory staples and to compare them to a currently used implant for internal fracture fixa...

The kinetic analysis of the place exchange reaction on the neutral Au25(SCH2CH2Ph)18 cluster by using 4-fluorobenzylthiol and a series of substituted arylthiols allowed us to establish, for the first time, that the selectivity for the inner and outer positions of the dimeric staples of the cluster can be modulated by using incoming thiols with different structures.

We propose a simple method to construct staples in lattice gauge theory with Wilson action on a parallel computer. This method can be applicable to any dimensional system and to any dimensional division without difficulty. Furthermore this requires rather small working area to realize gauge simulation on a parallel computer.

Recent advances in molecular phylogenetics the family Convolvulaceae Juss. (particularly formerly recognized tribe Merremieae) have brought new insights on generic delimitation. Therefore, many species were transferred across genera to accommodate classification. However, additional morphological and analyses are still needed address affinities position of some included Merremia Dennst. ex Endl...

Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has had a dramatic effect on global stock markets. In this article, we mount an investigation how COVID-19 impacted the Australian market returns. Using quantile regression framework, pattern of unravel is that heterogeneous sectors market, with health, information technology and consumer staples gaining.

I. An examination has been made of the plasma amino acids of adult Uganda Africans at risk to endomyocardial fibrosis compared with people from areas where the disorder is rare. The amino acid profile, both free and in the protein of the main staples, has also been examined. 2. Plasma tryptophan was found to be low in adults at risk and intermediate in Africans receiving a higher protein intake...

BACKGROUND The tensile force applied to an anterior cruciate ligament graft determines the maximal anterior translation; however, it is unknown whether the tensile force is transferred to the intra-articular portion of the graft and whether the intra-articular tension and maximal anterior translation are maintained shortly after ligament reconstruction. METHODS Ten cadaveric knees were recons...

PURPOSE Laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy (LLLS) has been widely accepted due to benefits of minimally invasive surgery. Some surgeons prefer to isolate glissonian pedicles to segments II and III and to control individual pedicles with surgical clips, whereas opt like to control glissonian pedicles simultaneously using endoscopic stapling devices. The aim of this study was to find the rat...
