background: in recent years, dietary fat supplementation has become a common practice and fat supplemented diets have had variable effects on animal performance and carcass characteristics. objectives: this study was conducted to determine the effect of  increasing the levels of sesame oil on performance, rumen parameters and plasma lipid profile in finishing chal lambs. methods: eighteen male ...

frozen shoulder is a glenohumeral joint disorder that perturbs movement because of adhesion and the existence of fibrosis in the shoulder capsule. platelet-rich plasma can produce collagen and growth factors, which increases stem cells and consequently enhances the healing. to date, there is no evidence regarding the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma in frozen shoulder. a 45-year-old man wi...

PURPOSE (1) to examine the relation between pulmonary diffusing capacity and marathon finishing time, and (2), to evaluate the accuracy of pulmonary diffusing capacity for nitric oxide (DLNO) in predicting marathon finishing time relative to that of pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO). METHODS 28 runners [18 males, age = 37 (SD 9) years, body mass = 70 (13) kg, height = 17...

This study investigates a Deburring process which is integrated with a robotics application. Conventional tumble deburring processes have been used for years in the surface finishing industries. The manual process is tedious, inconsistent and inaccurate. Automation in the finishing process has been proved very beneficial. Integration of robots in the process provides more flexible and convenien...

Five composite filling materials were finished using six finishing procedures currently in clinical use. The average roughness produced by each procedure was measured by means of a Surfanalyzer with four replications for each procedure on each of the five materials. Statistical analysis indicated that finishing with silicon carbide disks produced the smoothest surfaces. Acceptable surfaces were...

synovial chondromatosis affecting the glenohumeral joint is rare. treatment primarily consists of arthroscopic loose body removal and synovectomy. shoulder arthroplasty has been mentioned in the literature as a treatment option for patients with coexisting arthritis, although the results have been underreported. the case of an 84-year-old man with long standing synovial chondromatosis of the sh...

a hydatid cyst is a zoonotic infection caused by the larval forms of mostly the echinococcus granulosus. in humans, the most common site of cyst development is the liver (60%), followed by the lungs (20%), and much less commonly in other organs such as kidney, spleen, brain, and other soft tissues. the localization of cysts in muscles and subcutaneous is very rare. we report a case of 38-year-o...

Aim: The purpose of this study is to compare the marginal fit crowns manufactured using different CAD/CAM materials on 2 types finish line design.Material and Method: Tooth preparations were made by creating lines (rounded shoulder, chamfer) an acrylic mandibular second premolar model. Impressions taken each preparation polyvinylsiloxane impression material, blocks with three compositions inclu...
