pediatric traumatic limb amputations are rare and their acute and long term management can be challenging in this subgroup of patients. the lengthy and costly hospital stays, and resulting physical and psychological implications leads to significant morbidity. we present a summary of treatment principles and the evidence base supporting the management options for this entity. the initial manage...

introduction: depending on mode, intensity and length of application, and stage of development, the low-frequency electromagnetic fields (lfes) can induce a wide variety of biological effects in organisms. the chick limb bud is a powerful experimental system for study pattern formation in vertebrate embryo. the aim of this study was to examine the effects of an application lfes (50hz, 50g) on c...

Fins and limbs, which are considered to be homologous paired vertebrate appendages, have obvious morphological differences that arise during development. One major difference in their development is that the AER (apical ectodermal ridge), which organizes fin/limb development, transitions into a different, elongated organizing structure in the fin bud, the AF (apical fold). Although the role of ...

background:   primary bone lymphoma or non-hodgkin lymphoma of bone is a rare disease. there are only a few case series of stage ie of this condition in medical literature. the aim of this study is to determine the rate of survival   for stage ie after combined modality treatment, the rate of local recurrence, and the results of limb salvage in cases   of local recurrence.     methods:   we col...

background: massive bone allograft is an option in cases of limb preservation and reconstruction after massive benign and malignant bone tumor resection. the purpose of this study was to analyze the outcome of these procedures at imam reza hospital, mashhad university of medical sciences. methods: in this study, 113 cases have been presented. eleven cases were excluded (patients has a traumatic...

normal axial alignment restoration in lower extremities is crucial for surgeons performing reconstructive surgeries. since reference normal values of axial alignment are affected by age, sex, and ethical issues, we tried to scrutinize these parameters in iranian adults and compare them with normal values in literatures. through a cross-sectional design, standing axial alignment views of lower e...

In a graph G, subset of vertices $$S \subseteq V(G)$$ is said to be cyclable if there cycle containing the in some order. G k-cyclable any $$k \ge 2$$ cyclable. If k ordered are present common that order, then k-ordered. We show when \le \sqrt{n+3}$$ , graphs also have circumference $$c(G) 2k$$ and this best possible. Furthermore \frac{3n}{4} -1$$ k+2$$ for k-ordered we \min \{n,2k\}$$ . genera...
