background: total knee arthroplasty is a complex procedure aiming to relieve pain and improve function. it is critical to select prosthesis that best cover the bone surfaces. ethnicity may affect fitness of the components mainly designed for caucasian populations. this study aimed to evaluate morphometric features of proximal tibia in iranian population.   methods : during 2013, 150 consecutive...

background: the salvage proximal femoral osteotomy is performed in mild or moderate osteoarthritis when the articulating surfaces are normal and relieves the subject’s pain. because the importance of angular mal-alignment of the femur bone at the hip junction accurate pre-op planning based on patient specific anatomy is required to prevent any lower limb misalignment and joint problem pre-opera...

abstract   background: to evaluate proximal junctional segment changes in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis(ais) the posterior spinal fusion and also instrumentation also and finding of probable risk factors, were all considered in this study.   methods: we retrospectively reviewed radiographs of 121 consecutive patients who underwent posterior spinal fusion for ais from t3 or below, with a mean ...

AIMS This study is the contribution by the Thoraxcenter, Rotterdam, to the European(32)P Dose Response Trial, a non-randomized multicentre trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the radioactive Isostent in patients with single coronary artery disease. METHODS AND RESULTS The radioactivity of the stent at implantation was 6--12 microCi. All patients received aspirin indefinitely and eith...

In this paper, we propose a new deep learning approach based on unfolded neural networks for the reconstruction of X-ray computed tomography images from few views. We start model-based in compressed sensing framework, described by minimization least squares function plus an edge-preserving prior solution. particular, proposed network automatically estimates internal parameters proximal interior...

Objective - The aim of this study was to measure the ratio of bone cortex (C) to bone diameter (D), (C/D) in radius/tibia, metacarpus /metatarsus and proximal phalanges in fore and hindlimbs to be used as a diagnostic guide in metabolic and nutritional diseases in Minature Donkey. Design- Experimental study Animals- Eight adult Minature donkeys. Procedures- Lateromedial, dorsopalmar and dors...

let g be a (p,q) graph. an injective map f : e(g) → {±1,±2,...,±q} is said to be an edge pair sum labeling if the induced vertex function f*: v (g) → z - {0} defined by f*(v) = σp∈ev f (e) is one-one where ev denotes the set of edges in g that are incident with a vertex v and f*(v (g)) is either of the form {±k1,±k2,...,±kp/2} or {±k1,±k2,...,±k(p-1)/2} u {±k(p+1)/2} according a...

In this paper, we introduce the concept of best proximal contraction theorems in non-Archimedean fuzzy metric space for two mappings and prove some proximal theorems. As a consequence, it provides the existence of an optimal approximate solution to some equations which contains no solution. The obtained results extend further the recently development proximal contractions in non-Archimedean fuz...

Forest’s ecosystem is one of the most important carbon sink of the terrestrial ecosystem. Remote sensing technology provides robust techniques to estimate biomass and solve challenges in forest resource assessment. The present study explored the potential of Sentinel-2 bands to estimate biomass and comparatively analyzed of red-edge band based and broadband derived vegetation indices. Broadband...

One of the most fundamental features of digital image and the basic steps in image processing, analysis, pattern recognition and computer vision is the edge of an image where the preciseness and reliability of its results will affect directly on the comprehension machine system made objective world. Several edge detectors have been developed in the past decades, although no single edge detector...
