abstract background: several studies have examined the reflex response of ankle musculature to sudden inversion in noninjured and injured subjects. to date, there have been no studies to determine the effect of versatile degrees & conditions of perturbation on the ankle musculature latency. the purpose of this study was to measure and determine whether there was a difference in ankle musculatur...

I present in this paper a certain classification of objects with respect to their qualitative stability, i.e., with respect whether they change their qualities. The resulting classification is a flat typology of objects with two facets and three types in each facet. Assuming this classification the paper is then focused on one of these types: very weakly unstable objects. In particular, I discu...

That unstable angina is a serious and potentially dangerous condition which requires immediate attention is a statement with which few clinicians would disagree. However, if it is examined more closely and attempts are made to establish exactly just how serious and how dangerous, an apparent confusion emerges. Furthermore, if clinicians start to discuss the details of the immediate attention, i...

The three massless active (doublet) neutrinos may mix with two heavy and one light sterile (singlet) neutrinos so that the induced masses and mixings among the former are able to explain the present data on atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations. If the LSND result is also to be explained, one active neutrino mass eigenstate must mix with the light sterile neutrino. A specific model is pro...

Background. Because coronary thrombosis is important in the pathogenesis of unstable angina and correlates with in-hospital cardiac events, we hypothesized that thrombolytic therapy would decrease cardiac events. Methods and Results. We randomized 70 patients with unstable angina to tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) (0.49 MU/kg for 1 hour followed by 0.07 MU/kg per hour for 9 hours) or p...

Background:  Due to difficulty in obtaining anatomical reduction, management of the unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly osteoporotic patients is challenging. The purpose of this study is to compare the results of hip arthroplasty (total, hemi, or bipolar) with DHS in the elderly patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures.   Methods:  We prospectively studied and followed-up ...

   Background: Developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) is a common childhood disorder, and ultrasonography examination is routinely used for screening purposes. In this study, we aimed to evaluate a modified combined static and dynamic  ultrasound technique for the detection of DDH and to compare with the results of static and dynamic ultrasound techniques.    Methods:In this cross-sectional study...
