background cartilage tissue has limited regenerative capacity and the management of cartilage defects has always been a challenging issue. platelet-rich plasma (prp) has been recently been used to improve healing of cartilage defects. in the present experiment, we aimed to investigate the effects of prp on regeneration capacity as well as survival of the cartilage grafts in a rabbit model. meth...

Rabbit breeding is a special branch of animal husbandry characterized by high fertility and growth intensity. The main way intensification rabbit farming involves such selection measures that adapt populations keeping in industrial conditions, ensure reproductive properties female rabbits, preservation rabbits nests, rate, fattening meat qualities animals. research was conducted on the basis ex...

background: expansion of bone marrow cavity and decreased cortical and trabecular bone tissues and osteoporosis are resulted from beta-thalassemia. the aim of this study was to assess bone mineral density (bmd) in patients with β thalassemia major and intermedia, and to determine their biochemical and hormonal profiles that may affect bmd. materials and methods: in a cross sectional study from ...

Rabbits are animals prone to diseases, mainly affected by digestive system conditions. According the author's experience, interviews with rabbit breeders and veterinarians were located in Tangerang, if disorders do not receive proper treatment will quickly result death for rabbit. Rabbit owners sometimes don't know what do. Obstacles often encountered limited time, costs, number of who still sm...

Abstract: In this paper, the forming process of a central hub by radial-forward extrusion is analyzed by using the finite element software, ABAQUS. Radial-forward extrusion is used to produce hollow parts that generally feature a central hub with radial protrusions. Effective design factors such as mandrel diameter, die corner radius, die fillet radius, mandrel corner radius, tube wall thick...

in this paper, formation of wrinkling in bimetal deep drawing process has been investigated by the analytical, numerical and experimental methods. the effects of width of flange, fillet radii of matrix and punch, clearance of blank holder, contact conditions and relative thickness of two sheets on the number and height of wrinkle waves are studied. clearance and contact conditions have the grea...

conclusions in treatment of intra-articular distal radius fractures in middle-aged patients internal fixation with locking plates may be prefered to pin and plaster as the treatment of choice. results sf-36 test demonstrated a better general health (p < 0.001), mental health (p = 0.006), physical functioning (p < 0.001), social functioning (p < 0.001) and energy/fatigue (p < 0.001) in lcp group...
