stem cells are of great interest for regenerating disturbed tissues and organs. these cells are commonly isolated from the bone marrow, but there has been interest in other tissues in the recent years. in this study, we evaluated the possibility of isolation of stem cells from oral connective tissue and investigated their characteristics.in this experimental study, sampling from the bone marrow...

It gives me great pleasure to deliver the keynote address at the Asian Bond Conference organised jointly by the Thai Bond Dealing Centre (Thai BDC), Fixed Income Money Market Dealers Association of India (FIMMDA) and Primary Dealers Association of India (PDAI). It is a matter of significance that some of the major self-regulatory organisations (SROs) in the debt markets of Asia have taken this ...

Revisions of fractured, uncemented and extensively porous-coated femoral stems are challenging. In this article, we report three cases of revision surgeries for broken, cementless, and extensively porous-coated femoral stems with Solution stems (DePuy, Warsaw, Indiana). In all cases, minimally invasive endofemoral revision was successfully performed without femoral osteotomy or cortical fenestr...

To the Editor: We would like to compliment Levine et al on their case report “Removal of a Broken Cannulated Tibial Nail: A Simple Intramedullary Technique” (J Orthop Trauma 2004;18:247– 249) and Steinberg et al on their technical trick “Removal of a Broken Distal Closed Section Intramedullary Nail: Report of a Case Using a Simple Method” (J Orthop Trauma 2004;18:233–235). The problem of a brok...

a compound comminuted fracture of the right thigh-bone, caused by a fall from a high mangoe tree. The upper fragment of the broken bone protruded nearly 1^ inch through an opening about 1^ inch long in the soft parts of the middle of the thigh in front, and fragments of bone could be felt moving in the soft parts; the pulse was 90; haemorrhage had nearly ceased before admission. I took into con...

The Link Between Prostate Cancer and Osteoporosis. Studies show that men who receive hormone deprivation therapy for prostate cancer have an increased risk of developing osteoporosis and broken bones. Hormones such as testosterone protect against bone loss. Once these hormones are blocked, bone becomes less dense and breaks. Vitamin D plays an important role in calcium absorption and bone healt...

The effect of an induced molt and a second egg laying cycle on White Leghorns hen's skeletal integrity was investigated in a series of 3 experiments. Using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) of the left tibia and humerus were measured in live hens and excised bones and correlated with invasive bone measurement tests, egg traits, and the i...
