At present, most precast shear walls are implemented in accordance with the method equivalent to a cast-in-place structure, where joint is complicated, and construction difficult. According characteristics of wall structures, design “strong horizontal joints, weak vertical joints” for structure proposed. The existing was used form strong damper connect joints joints. It can reduce pouring concr...

Abdominal wall hernias occur when tissue structure and function are lost at the load-bearing muscle, tendon, and fascial layer. The fundamental biologic mechanisms are primary fascial pathology or surgical wound failure. In both cases, cellular and extracellular molecular matrix defects occur. Primary abdominal wall hernias have been associated with extracellular matrix diseases. Incisional her...

We report a rare case of vesico-acetabular fistula due to an improperly treated pelvic fracture with urinary stone formation in the joint cavity. This complication was related to an unrecognized mechanism of bladder wall entrapment in the acetabular floor defect during weight bearing. This situation led to several mistreatment decisions in our case and should be always considered by urologists ...

In this paper a new isolating system is introduced for short to mid-rise buildings. In comparison to conventional systems such as LRB and HRB, the proposed system has the advantage of no need to cutting edge technology and has low manufacturing cost. This system is made up of two orthogonal pairs of pillow-shaped rollers that are located between flat bed and plates. By using this system in two ...

Purpose To compare the clinical results of DHLP (Dynamic hip locking plates) and PFNA-IIs (proximal femoral nails anti-rotation-Asia) for treating intertrochanteric femur fracture (IFF) with lateral wall fractures in the elder patients and provide a rationale for the clinical practice. Methods A retrospective analysis of 43 patients of IFF with lateral wall fractures was performed from Decemb...
