one of the locations of renal artery atherosclerosis is at the orifice of the renal artery, therefore thestructure of this orifice was assessed in 6 normal, adult male dogs by light microscopy (lm) andtransmission electron microscopy (tem). for the lm study, processed tissues were embedded in paraffinand sectioned serially into 6-μm thickness. sections were stained with orcein. for the tem stud...

conclusions pedicled pibf is a new option for treating distal radius fracture non:union:. the results are predictable in achieving :union: and good function, and this technique can be successfully used in cases with extensive soft-tissue damage or infection. background non:union: of distal radius fractures is disabling. treatment is difficult and the results are not predictable. however, poster...

background: evaluating the landmarks for rotation of the distal femur is a challenge for orthopedic surgeons. although the posterior femoral condyle axis is a good landmark for surgeons, the surgical transepicondylar axis may be a better option with the help of preoperative ct scanning. the purpose of this study was to ascertain relationships among the axes’ guiding distal femur rotational alig...

conclusions closed reduction and hybrid external fixation can be used as a definitive treatment for severe comminuted fractures of the distal femur and proximal tibia, when the concomitant contusion of the skin and soft tissue damage prohibits safe open reduction and internal fixation. patients and methods in a prospective study, 44 patients with comminuted fractures of the distal femur or prox...

background: considering the importance of an early diagnosis and proper decision-making in regards to the treatment of pediatric distal radius and elbow fractures, this study examines emergency medicine specialists’ accuracy in the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. methods: from 2012 and 2013, children less than 14 years old who were referred to an academic hospital emergency departmen...

Introduction: Space maintenance in primary dentition in patients with early loss of several primary molars is a clinical challenge for pedodontists. In these cases, the conventional distal shoe appliance cannot be used and the efficacy of removable appliances is questionable. Thus, appliances with special designs providing increased patient acceptance and optimal efficacy are required in these ...

introduction renal tubular acidosis (rta) is a non-uremic defects of urinary acidification. it is characterized by a normal anion gap hyperchloremic  metabolic acidosis; plasma potassium may be normal, low or high-depending on the type of rta. these syndromes differ from uremic acidosis which is associated with a high anion gap, decreased glomerular filtration with enhanced proton secretion by ...

anotomical boundary of atrioventricular node reentrant tachycardia (avnrt) is composed of fast and slow pathways right atrium in upper turnaround and common distal pathway in lower turnaround. we performed electophsiologic study (eps) in 152 patients and could show the existence of distal common pathway with decremental conduction properties in approximately 40 patients.

Numerous techniques for injection into the distal sesamoid bursa (navicular bursa) have been described, especially in equine, but there are few specific descriptions regarding this practice being done in cattle. Five different techniques were compared for injection into the distal sesamoid bursa in cattle including distal plantar approach parallel with the coronary band, proximal plantar approa...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the number of distal roots and canals in mandibular first molars and their internal anatomy radiographically within iranian population. materials and methods: a total of 310 distal roots of mandibular first molars were incorporated in this study and evaluated in terms of number of roots and number and types of canals. root canal systems we...
