The comparative survival of various fecal indicator bacteria and enteric pathogens was studied in a stable well water supply by using membrane chambers. There was more variation in the 29 coliform cultures and they died more rapidly, as a group, than the 20 enterococcus cultures that were examined. The comparative survival of the organisms tested follows: Aeromonas sp. > the shigellae (Shigella...

Knowledge of the center of pressure (COP) trajectory during stance can elucidate possible foot pathology, provide comparative effectiveness of foot orthotics, and allow for appropriate calculation of balance control and joint kinetics during gait. Therefore, the goal of this study was to investigate the COP movement when walking at self-selected speeds with plantigrade, equinus, inverted, and e...

A 2-year-old female donkey (Equus asinus) was euthanized in the Pathology Department of Firat University, Elazig, Turkey. Necropsy disclosed the presence of 7 hydatid cysts distributed throughout the lung parenchyma. One of those cysts represented the parasite material of the present study and was molecularly identified through sequencing of a fragment of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) an...

although various techniques have been described for treatment of severe nose deformities, these problems have high revision rates.  conventional nasal septal surgery may not be adequate for all cases. a 21-year-old male patient with nose deformity underwent a nasal surgery. patient had both functional and aesthetic nasal problems. rigid fibular bone graft was used for corrective nasal surgery. ...

Amputation is one of the oldest procedures in surgery; this is shown on the wall of the Temple of Rameses III near Luxor. In the foot, amputation between the tarsometatarsal level and the level of the Syme procedure results in an equinus deformity due to imbalance between tendons acting at the ankle. Syme’s amputation is simple and produces a stump with end-bearing properties and good proprioce...
