Muscle glutamate is central to reactions producing 2-oxoglutarate, a tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediate that essentially expands the TCA cycle intermediate pool during exercise. Paradoxically, muscle glutamate drops approximately 40-80% with the onset of exercise and 2-oxoglutarate declines in early exercise. To investigate the physiological relationship between glutamate, oxidative me...

A 64-year-old Japanese male had a squamous cell carcinoma (T4N1M0) in the left gingival and buccal mucosa, so a radical wide resection involving left radical neck dissection was performed. An anterolateral thigh flap measuring 15 x 8 cm was raised from the left thigh and transferred to the defect. The postoperative course was eventful. There was no postoperative flap necrosis, infection, not ev...

The most commonly used areas in the lower extremity subcutaneous injection applications are anterior and lateral surface of thigh. calf region, which is an alternative to these areas, located region gastrocnemius muscle. aim study retrospectively evaluate suitability thigh site adipose tissue thickness for through computed tomography sections. sample this descriptive consisted 140 adult patient...

Inactivated oil-adjuvanted vaccines for ND, IB, and IC serotypes A and C (OILVAX NB2AC) have been marketed from 1993. In the outdoors, various inoculation sites have been used in chickens because to make the inoculation procedure easier. We examined whether differences would be obtained in the antibody response according to the inoculation sites; the subcutaneous inoculation into the back of th...

The present report describes the first known, case of a pseudoaneurysm of the perforating branch of the deep femoral artery following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. A 19-year-old man underwent ACL reconstruction using the outside-in femoral tunnel-creation method. Seven days after the surgery, he complained of abnormal thigh pain and had swelling with local heat on the distal ...

BACKGROUND Erysipelas of the thigh and the gluteal region are rarely described and not well characterized. Therefore we aim to describe the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and risk factors of these erysipelas types. METHODS The files of 1,423 patients with erysipelas were analyzed. Data from patients with erysipelas of the thigh or the gluteal region were compared between the two groups...

To identify an inexpensive, reliable predictor of low birth weight capable of being utilized by untrained personnel, anthropometric measures were performed on 1600 newborns in Kanpur, India. This analysis indicated that, for a birth weight of 2500 g, the critical limit of calf circumference was 10.8 cm or less. Critical limits for crown-heel length, head circumference, chest circumference, mi...

To understand the role of the lateral thigh flap in head and neck reconstruction, we performed injection studies and anatomic dissections in 2 fresh and 61 preserved cadaver extremities followed by 10 clinical cases involving defects after tumor ablation. The flap, based on the third perforator of the profunda femoris artery, is designed on the posterolateral aspect of the distal thigh. The ped...

PURPOSE To measure the femoral tunnel length created through a far medial portal and determine its correlation with body height, limb length, and thigh length in 404 Indian patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. METHODS 364 male and 40 female Indian patients aged 18 to 51 (mean, 26.8) years underwent ACL reconstruction by a single surgeon using the hamstrings ten...
