the repetitious nature of propelling a wheelchair has been associated with the high incidence of injury among manual wheelchair users (mwus), mainly in the shoulder, elbow and wrist. recent literature has found a link between handrim biomechanics and risk of injury to the upper extremity. the valid measurement of three‑dimensional net joint forces and torques, however, can lead to a better unde...

background: the aim of this study is to evaluate the geometry of the distal femur and the proximal tibia in the osteoarthritic knee using 3d reconstructive ct scan imaging. methods: 449 patients with knee osteoarthritis were treated surgically in our center with patient-specific technology total knee arthroplasty. preoperatively, all the patients underwent a ct scan according to a standard prot...

Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of bone cuts and the resultant alignment, using theMyKnee patient specific cutting blocks.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 132 patients undergoing primary TKR for osteoarthritis by one single surgeon.The operative time, the preoperative Hip-Knee-Ankle (HKA) axis based on the CT-scan, the postoperative HKA axisbased on long axis s...

As a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator, brain histamine has a variety of physiological roles in brain functions such as hypothalamic- pituitary- adrenal (HPA) activity. Histamine induces the release of ACTH through the activation of hypothalamic neurons containing vasopressin and CRH. Histamine induces the activity of HPA axis directly or indirectly. Endogenous opioids modulate the (HPA) axis ...

fracture. Several chronic medical conditions, medications, and life style factors affect bone mineral accrual. This study aims to evaluate the bone mineral densities and hip axis lengths in the local population. Materials and Methods: 336 normal Bangladeshi women age ranges 20 to 70 years had evaluation of their bone mineral densities (BMDs) by means of dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Results:...
