Anatomical measurements of the cervical pedicle in a large series of human cervical vertebrae from 48 individuals were obtained to reduce the incidence and severity of complications caused by transpedicular screw placement. The greatest pedicle length was at C-3 and the greatest pedicle width was at C-6. Pedicle width and lateral mass thickness gradually increased from C-3 to C-6. Pedicle heigh...

this study was carried out to investigate flower yield and yield components in iranian rosa damascena using 20 genotypes, collected from different regions of iran and grown in drylands and deserts research station of kashan, iran, using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2007-2008. flower yield per plant, number of flowers per plant, plant height, leaf length, width, ...

the present article describes a case of prosthetic rehabilitation with the new technique of prefabricated osteo-cutaneous free fibula flap for reconstructing a maxillary defect which had resulted from ameloblastoma. the fibula and a cuff of 6-8 mm were prepared with its pedicle intact. the bone flap was left in place with its pedicle intact for 2 to 3 months; the skin graft and the flap were fr...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. PURPOSE To analyze the quantitative anatomy of C7 vertebra for insertion of lateral mass screws and pedicle screws in Southern Chinese patients. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE C7 lateral mass is smaller when compared to other subaxial cervical levels, which limits the length of lateral mass screws that can be used. Some studies have suggested pedicle screws for bet...

an investigation was conducted to determine the genetic diversity among 44 iranian spinach (spinacia oleracea l.) landraces using 21 morphological characteristics under open field conditions. according to data analysis results, significant differences were found among landraces in vegetative traits at 1 and 5% levels. results showed that tabriz landrace had the highest percentage of female plan...
