background: the aim of this study was to investigate clinical applications of mobile c-arms and consequent radiation risk,to increase medical attention on radiation protection, and to provide basic data for safe radiation use in the operating room. materials and methods: in this study, a total of 374 surgical operations, conducted using a portable fluoroscopic x-ray system from january to march...

the purpose of this study was to determine and compare blood lactate, heart rate and blood pressure responses in arm and leg exercises and to determine the relationship between these variables and fatigue time during these two modes of exercises. 8 young professional karate players (mean age 18.90±2.20) volunteered to participate in this study. the subjects completed two ergometers: arm and leg...

purpose the purpose of this study was to estimate the dominant handgrip strength and its correlations with some hand and arm anthropometric variables in 101 randomly selected indian inter-university female volleyball players aged 18-25 years (mean age 20.52±1.40) from six indian universities. methods three anthropometric variables, i.e. height, weight, bmi, two hand anthropometric variables, vi...

hand-arm vibration can cause vascular, neurological and musculoskeletal disorders, collectively named as hand-arm vibration syndrome. the chainsaw is a portable machine that exposes own operators to high levels of hand-arm vibrations. this research focuses on vibration transmissibility from chainsaw handle to wrist and arm of operator. the vibration acceleration signals necessary for evaluation...

The pendent-arm macrocyclic hexaamine trans-6,13-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-6,13-diamine (L) may coordinate in tetra-, penta- or hexadentate modes, depending on the metal ion and the synthetic procedure. We report here the crystal structures of two pseudo-octahedral cobalt(III) complexes of L, namely sodium trans-cyano(trans-6,13-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-6,13-d...

background: in an attempt to reduce the risk of developing lymphedema following breast cancer surgery, some researchers suggested that by identifying and preserving the lymphatic plexus which drains ipsilateral arm we can minimize the risk of lymphedema. the procedure is known as axillary reverse mapping (arm). in the current study, we investigated the oncological safety of this technique. meth...

objectives: aim of this study is to investigate the initial effect of taping technique on wrist extension and grip strength and pain of individuals with tennis elbow. methods: fifteen patients (10 men and 5 women with 42.53 years) on their dominant arm participated in this study. outcome measures were wrist extension and grip strength and pain taken before and immediately after application of t...

The mol-ecular conformation of the title compound, C(20)H(17)N(3), is stabilized by an intramolecular C-H⋯N inter-action. The crystal structure shows inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions. The dihedral angle between the isoquinoline unit and the phenyl ring is 11.42 (1)° whereas the isoquinoline unit and the pendent dimethyl pryrazole unit form a dihedral angle of 50.1 (4)°. Furthermore, the angl...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a massive assault to the psyche as well as the body. Within mo­ ments, a person who had been active and inde­ pendent becomes immobilized, loses control of bowel, bladder, sexual and other bodily func­ tions, and is dependent on others to meet the most basic needs. The instantaneous effects of the injury result in total disruption of the victim's life, and the beginn...

High ON/OFF ratio electrically bistable non-volatile WORM memory devices were prepared based on poly(triphenylamine) with different amounts of pendent PCBM. With the introduction of 10 wt% PCBM into P-TPA via covalent bonding, a memory device with low switching-ON voltage (0.9 V) and high ON/OFF ratio (10(9)) could be obtained. The device performance remained satisfactory under the heating cond...
