Background & Aims: Acute acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation is common in shoulder injuries. Considering the biomechanics of this joint, the use of a treatment method, which can restore joint physiology and biomechanics to the extent possible, is important. This study aimed to compare the treatment of acute AC joint dislocation by screw fixation with and without ligament reconstruction. Me...

rabbitfish is economically valuable teleost species which lives in shallow coastalwaters. two species of rabbit fish have been recognized in southern sea of iran (persiangulf) as namely siganus sutor and siganus javus. in the current study, in order toinvestigate the histology of the annular ligament of the s. javus’ eye, the prepared sectionsof the eyes of twelve healthy specimens were studied...

to identify anatomic and physiologic characteristics of children which are different from adults and to explain major patterns and responses of different types of injuries and to apply atls principles in management of injured kids and to emphasize on injury prevention to reduce the impact of injury in children. children have larger head, smaller jaw, shorter, narrower, funnel shaped airway, sof...

Fetal heart rate, umbilical artery pulsatility index, end-diastolic flow, nuchal translucency thickness and placental thickness were recorded in 250 women with a viable singleton pregnancy undergoing chorionic villous sampling for fetal karyotyping at 11-14 weeks of gestation. The fetal karyotype was normal in 210 cases and abnormal in 40, including 21 with trisomy 21, 13 with trisomy 18, three...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of second-trimester ultrasound markers on the incidence of Down syndrome among pregnant women of advanced maternal age. This was a retrospective cohort study on 889 singleton pregnancies between the 14th and 30th weeks, with maternal age ≥ 35 years, which would undergo genetic amniocentesis. The second-trimester ultrasound assesse...

INTRODUCTION To evaluate the performance of first trimester nuchal translucency scan screening among pregnant women in Nigeria. METHODS A prospective observational and questionnaire based study involving 510 pregnant women between 11(+0) and 13(+6) weeks. Routine counselling and nuchal translucency measurement was conducted using the FMF, London guidelines. Chorionic villous sampling was done...

This overview provides insight into the underlying genetic mechanism of the high incidence of cardiac defects in fetuses with increased nuchal translucency (NT). Nuchal edema, the morphological equivalent of increased NT, is likely to result from abnormal lymphatic development and is strongly related to cardiac defects. The underlying genetic pathways are, however, unknown. This study aims to p...
