Blount's disease is an uncommon disorder of postero-medial proximal tibial physis. Blount described infantile and adolescent types. This study aims to describe using femur, tibia and fibula osteotomies to treat infantile Blount's disease. From May 1992 to May 2005, 7 patients of Blount's disease (3 males, 4 females) were included, whose age was range from 17 to 62 months. Femorotibial angle (FT...

Introduction: The purpose of beading & boxing of an impression is to obtain an accurate cast with proper border & base thickness for fabrication of restorations. Beading is the protection of the formed border thickness of the final impressions & Boxing of an impression is building up vertical walls around it. Aim: The purpose of this hybrid technique of beading and boxing is to produce a smooth...

calpastatin (cast) is a specific inhibiter of calpains, playing a role in meat tenderization and myogenesis. in the present study, the polymorphism of the cast gene of makoei sheep was investigated by polymerase chain reaction and single strand conformation polymorphism technique (pcr–sscp). genomic dna was extracted from whole blood samples collected from 100 sheep. a 622 bp cast exon 1 segmen...

calpastatin (cast) is a specific inhibiter of calpains, playing a role in meat tenderization and myogenesis. in the present study the polymorphism of the cast gene ofkhalkhali goat in azerbaijan province in iran was investigated by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism technique (pcr-rflp). genomic dna was extracted from whole blood samples collected from 200 kh...

background: creating a socket with proper fit is an important factor to ensure the comfort and control of prosthetic devices. several techniques are commonly used to cast transtibial stumps but their effect on stump shape deformation is not well understood. this study compares the dimensions, circumferences and volumes of the positive casts and also the socket comfort between two casting method...

background and aims. current chemical methods may not efficiently disinfect dental stone casts. the aim of this study was to investigate if microwave irradiation is effective for disinfection of stone casts. materials and methods. in this laboratory study, three groups (n = 162) of prepared spherical stone beads as carriers with a diameter of 10 mm were inoculated by separately soaking in three...
