introduction: intramedullary nailing (imn) of high tibia fracture has some mechanical and biological advantages over the other form of fixation. however, valgus, apex anterior malalignment and anterior displacement of proximal fragment commonly occur after isolated imn fixation of proximal high tibia fracture. the purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of using 3.5-mm locking c...

Introduction: In open reduction and internal fixation for the treatment of mandibular fracture, the fixation technique used is very important in reducing post-operative complications and promoting the healing process. This study assessed the results of fixation of the mandible using two mini-plates perpendicular to each other in the lower border of the mandible for fracture treatment.    Materi...

The carotid bodies from control, reserpine-treated, and hypoxia-treated hamsters were fixed with phosphate-buffered glutaraldehyde and osmium tetroxide, s-Collidine-buffered osmium tetroxide, or phosphate-buffered glutaraldehyde followed by potassium dichromate incubation. Following glutaraldehyde-osmium tetroxide fixation no differences in density or population of the electron-opaque granules ...

We have previously observed that the urinary excretion of citrate is reduced to low levels in rats treated with the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, acetazoleamide (Diamox®g) (1). This first experiment was prompted by the fact that the elevated serum chloride and decreased serum bicar-. bonate concentrations, and the fixation of the urine pH at approximately 7 or above following administration of ...

BACKGROUND Spinal fixation surgery is potentially associated with significant bleeding, often requiring multiple blood transfusions. Concern for the risks of transfusion-acquired infection and immune modulation effects of allogeneic blood has led to the investigation of various hemostatic agents such as tranexamic acid (TXA). The investigators hypothesized that a prophylactic low dose of TXA wo...

The productivity of fodder legumes, based on internal sources N, may be limited due to an insufficient supply nutrients responsible for the efficient use N accumulated by crop during growing season. Production risk occurs soils that are naturally poor or depleted in decisive fixation and utilization N2 alfalfa. This hypothesis was validated basis a field experiment with alfalfa–grass mixture ca...

Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical outcomes of acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) fixation with hook plate (HP) and continuous loop double endobutton fixation (CLDE) in treatment of the acute acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation. Methods: In this retrospective study, 8 patients with HP and 9 patients with CLDE fixations were compared for acute ACJ dislocations. ...

The unique reticulum in the basal membrane of the adult newt's skin consists of a series of nodular swellings from which there radiate fibers. Electron micrographic studies showed that the nodules consist of layers of fibrillae arranged approximately and irregularly at right angles to one another. Some are packed to form a capsule; still others extend into the internodular zone to form the radi...
