BACKGROUND Acute lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs due to obstruction of large veins by thrombus and its clinical findings are pain and swelling. If not treated, it can cause morbidity and mortality. Oral warfarin or low molecular weight heparin are applied in traditional treatment. However, recently, endovascular procedures have gained increasing popularity in deep vein thrombo...

Muscle volumes of the gluteus medius, gluteus maximus, and tensor faciae latae assessed by a computed tomography (CT) scan were greater in men than women and not different between the left and the right side after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Body mass index, sex, age, and ambulatory status affected functional outcome after THA. However, the effects of psoas muscle mass and muscle quality on f...

Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor-mixed connective tissue (PMT-MCT) is rare and usually benign and slow-growing. The majority of these tumors is associated with sporadic tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) or rickets, affect middle-aged individuals and are located in the extremities. Previous imaging studies often focused on seeking the causative tumors of TIO, not on the radiological features of the...

To investigate the mechanism by which the polyomavirus large T antigen (T-Ag) promotes amplification of integrated viral sequences, we constructed a rat cell line, Hy2-ts5, carrying two different inserts of polyomavirus DNA. The first insert, designated the middle T (pmt) locus, was devised to analyze homologous recombination between two defective copies of pmt lying 3.3 kb apart on the same ch...

This study examined the efficacy of Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) in treating oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) in youth by comparing this novel treatment to Parent Management Training (PMT), a well-established treatment, and a waitlist control (WLC) group. One hundred thirty-four youth (ages 7-14, 61.9% male, 83.6% White) who fulfilled Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental ...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to test the efficacy of a novel low-abrasive air polishing powder in subgingival plaque removal at interdental sites during periodontal maintenance therapy (PMT). METHODS Using a split mouth design, subgingival plaque was removed in 23 PMT patients using a low abrasive powder using a standard air polishing unit (test) or curets (positive control). Before an...

In this work, we propose a new Predictive-based Mobile Target Tracking Algorithm for Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks called PMT . Resource management being a critical feature of this kind of networks, the main aim of PMT 2 is to handle the trade-off between the accuracy of the tracking and the energy conservation. Prediction approach seems to be the best candidate to reach this objective. F...

This study provides hydrogen gas fuel as a renewable energy source. The production of H2 was carried out through the photocatalytic decomposition sewage water using highly efficient poly(m-toluidine) (PMT)/rolled graphene oxide (roll-GO) photoelectrode. preparation PMT thin film on glass in situ electropolymerization reaction from an acid medium. Then, roll-GO deposited this casting method GO s...

RATIONALE Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) is a new tumor entity of soft tissue and bone tumor recently accepted by the World Health Organization, which typically causes the paraneoplastic syndrome of tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO). The majority of PMTs follow a benign clinical course and local recurrence occurs in < 10% of cases, malignant PMTs with distant organ metastasis are extremely...
