the omentum and the stranding continued inferiorly into left inguinal hernia sac (Fig. 2). The diagnosis of omental torsion with hernia was confirmed on laparotomy. Omental torsion usually occurs on the right side because of greater mobility of the right omentum. A left-sided omental torsion is rare and is difficult to diagnose clinically. Torsion may be primary, or secondary to underlying caus...

background: high tibia osteotomy (hto) is a common surgical operation for correction of genu varum deformity. in some patients,there are concurrent tibia vara and genu varum (bow leg). this study aimed to consider the possibility of better correction of bow leg deformity after double level tibial osteotomy (dlto). materials and methods: a case series of 10 patients of genu varum in addition to ...

A language is torsion (resp. bounded torsion, aperiodic, bounded aperiodic) if its syntactic monoid is torsion (resp. bounded torsion, aperiodic, bounded aperiodic). We generalize the regular language theorems of Kleene, Sch utzenberger and Straubing to describe the classes of torsion, bounded torsion, aperiodic and bounded aperiodic languages. These descriptions involve taking limits of sequen...

We express the Burghelea-Haller complex Ray-Singer torsion in terms of the square of the refined analytic torsion and the η-invariant. As an application we obtain new results about the Burghelea-Haller torsion. In particular, we prove a weak version of the Burghelea-Haller conjecture relating their torsion with the square of the Turaev combinatorial torsion.

background: the aim of this study was to determine oxidative stress (os) parameters after testicular torsion/detorsion in adult rats. materials and methods: in this experimental study, male adult wistar rats were divided into four groups, each consisting of seven animals: group i-one hour right testicular torsion with subsequent orchiectomy, group ii-one hour right testicular torsion followed b...

DOI 10.3109/17453670903316876 A 35-year-old woman presented in September 2008 with pain in the right tibia for 2 years. The pain had worsened in the last 3 months. As ...

BACKGROUND Fractures of the tibia and femur are common after automobile versus pedestrian (AVP) injuries. This study evaluates the effect of age on the type of fracture and the incidence and type of associated injuries. METHODS All patients involved in an AVP crash from January 1, 1995, through June 30, 2006, were included in the study. Variables obtained from our trauma registry included age...

OBJECTIVE Penile torsion is a counterclockwise rotational anomaly of the penile shaft or glans. We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of penile degloving and dorsal dartos flap rotation used for the repair of isolated penil torsion. MATERIAL AND METHODS During evaluation of the patients admitted to our polyclinic for circumcision between January 2013-December 2014, 5 cases of isolated penile tors...

Distal diametaphyseal tibia fracture though requires operative treatment is difficult to manage. Conventional osteosynthesis is not suitable because distal tibia is subcutaneous bone with poor vascularity. Closed reduction and minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) with locking compression plate (LCP) has emerged as an alternative treatment option because it respects biology of distal t...

Devices that are pinned to the tibia to tension an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft produce joint reaction loads that in turn can affect the maintenance of graft initial tension after tibial fixation and hence knee anterior-posterior (AP) load-displacement. However, the effect of these devices on AP load-displacement is unknown. Our objectives were to determine whether tensioning by devic...
