Background: Amputation is perceived differently across the globe hence study was designed to determine knowledge, attitude and acceptance of amputation among Amputee patients in National Orthopeadic Hospital Enugu. Objectives: The objectives were elicit level knowledge amputation, respondents towards amputation. Materials Methods: A descriptive cross sectional design used data collected using q...

Differences in pelvic obliquity between small groups of persons with unilateral lower limb amputation and subjects without amputation were analyzed. Kinematic walking data were collected as six males with transtibial amputation and three males with transfemoral amputation walked over a range of speeds. The pelvic obliquity patterns and amplitudes from the groups with amputation were compared to...

Finite element analysis (FEA) is an engineering method for the numerical analysis of complex structures based on their material properties. It is used to determine the distribution of stress when a structure is subjected to force. Recently, FEA has been employed in endodontic. Endodontic diseases, such as pulpits or periradicular periodontitis, often require root canal therapy. During or after ...

RATIONALE Although lower-extremity surgeries are mainly performed under general or central neuraxial anesthesia, ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block (PNB) can be a good alternative, especially for patients who require continuous anticoagulation treatment and present with poor cardiovascular conditions. PATIENTS CONCERNS The patient required continuous anticoagulation treatment due to the...

We studied the association between amputation and distance of patients' residences to a diabetes care centre. We performed a case-control study matching each case (amputation) with 5 controls (no amputation) by age and sex. We compared the distance of residence to the diabetes centre, duration and type of diabetes, haemoglobin-A1c levels and foot examination findings for cases and controls. We ...

During the current conflicts, over 950 soldiers have sustained a combat-related amputation. The majority of these are acute, but an unknown number are performed months to years after the initial injury. The goal of this study is to determine the prevalence of late amputations in our combat wounded. Electronic medical records and radiographs of all soldiers who had a combat-related, lower extrem...

Dental occlusion represent the function of dentomaxillary system at which realization participate all the components of that system holding the equilibrium between them. Setting up the treatment with dental bridges in partial edentuluous is rule by some principles that have aims like restore the morphology and functions change by edentuluous condition and also prevention disorders of remaining ...

Introduction: Pain is one of the most important factors affecting patients' fear and anxiety in dental appointments. The aim of current study is to evaluate the pain experienced by patients before, during and after endodontic treatment. Materials and methods: This descriptive longitudinal study was performed on 100 patients aged 18-60 years old who referred to the department of endodontics of ...
