Background: Intraosseous ganglia (IG) are solitary, osteolytic lesion juxta-articular in the epiphyses of long bones. The origin of articular cysts is controversial and is not recognized well. Methods: From 2006 to 2011 in Shafa Orthopedic Hospital we identified 7 cases with final diagnosis of intraosseous ganglion cyst in medial condyle of tibia. We surveyed their medical documents and images ...

Strength training is commonly performed at two different knee flexion amplitudes: partial (to 90 degrees) or total (to 140 degrees). During these amplitudes, both the pelvis and the tibia are moved to ensure control of the center of gravity and displacement of the external overload. Forward or backward movement of the pelvic tilt may indirectly influence the internal load on the spine. Objectiv...

we present a case of unilateral tibia vara associated with an area of focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia in the medial aspect of the right proximal tibia. such a case has not been described previously. the affected child was 8 months old. deformity resolved without aggressive treatment. the pathogenesis of the focal lesion remains controversial. the most likely explanation is that the mesenchym...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary different levels of hatchery wastes (HW) on performance, tibia ash and blood calcium and phosphorus concentrations in broiler chickens. Birds were fed a corn-soybean meal diet for 7 days. The experimental treatments included 3 dietary treatments containing 1.5, 3 and 4.5 percent HW, in addition to the control without hatchery wast...

Hesperidin (HSP) and naringin (NAR), flavanones rich in citrus fruits, support skeletal integrity in adult and aging rodent models. This study determined whether maternal consumption of HSP and NAR favorably programs bone development, resulting in higher bone mineral density (BMD) and greater structure and biomechanical strength (i.e., peak load) in female offspring. Female CD-1 mice were fed a...

Polyurethane/zeolite 13X nanocomposite films were fabricated using solution casting method. The synthesized nanocomposite films were structurally characterized using SEM, TGA and tensile analysis. SEM images showed appropriate distribution of nanocrystalline zeolite particles within polyurethane matrix. Better thermal stability of nanocomposite films in comparison to neat polyurethane was shown...

Morinda citrifolia (Noni) has been traditionally used for bone and wound healing.   The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of Morinda citrifolia leaves on experimental wounds and lipid peroxide levels in rats. Effect of aqueous extract of leaves of Morinda citrifolia (200 mg/kg) on excision, resutured incision and dead space wound models were studied. Measurement...
