OBJECTIVE To identify anatomical changes and skeletal maturity through radiographic analysis, allowing more accuracy for indication of surgical management of non-slipped hips in patients with epiphysiolisys. METHOD A retrospective study of the radiographs of 61 patients followed until the end of skeletal growth, assigned to two groups: 37 patients with unilateral epiphysiolysis, and 24 patien...

Local thermal flows may be organized where there is a local horizontal pressure gradient due to differential surface heating or cooling. According to a simple conceptual model of katabatic flows (e.g. Egger 1990), they develop in sloping topography where the air at the surface cools relative to the air aloft, e.g. due to radiative cooling on clear nights. The cold and heavy air flows downslope ...
